To want to find some jeans that fit

I'm a fairly average size 12, I have slim hips and legs and a bit of a tummy but I wouldn't say I was an unusual shape or size so why the hell can't I get any jeans to fit me? Over the past few years I have tried jeans in Next, Oasis, Dorothy Perkins - all too big on the hips.
New Look, Topshop, Warehouse, River Island, Asda & Sainsburys - all fit well on the legs but too tight on the waist or if I get the next size up the waist is ok but the legs are too baggy.
A friend said the Gok ones in Sainsburys are good as they have lots of Lycra. This is true, tried some on, they looked great and were cheap so I bought some. Wearing them for first time today and they keep falling down.
I see plenty of people wearing well-fitting jeans so is it just me?
Is it too too much to ask that one shop might sell some that fit?? The only comfy ones I've had were my maternity jeans. Would it be weird to just wear them when not pregnant?!

I bought some skinny jeans from asda the other day. Size 12-14. Basically designed with the measurements of a 12, but with very good stretch. Might be worth a try?

why are so many jeans (particuarly skinny jeans) not actually made from denim any more? You used to be able to get Kristen and Jamie high-waisted skinny jeans from Topshop but they stopped the Kristen ones after the quality went down the pan and the Jamie ones aren't made from denim. Tis most annoying!

I have problems finding jeans that aren't too long on my leg. Primark bootcut jeans are the only ones that don't swamp my feet! £10 a pair!

I've had a couple of excellent pairs of Esprit jeans in the last couple of years, but they just closed the shop near me and I can't tell from the website which are the ones I liked.

If you have a store near you might be worth looking as they seem to have a variety of fits.

Another one for NYDJ jeans. They are amazing!!!!! John Lewis sell them. I'm off to states next week and cannot wait to buy a 2nd pair. Plus they come in petite too as I'm a short arse.
Love fact they are cut a bit higher on the tummy so no muffin problems
