Jeans that fit similar to Abercrombie Curve Love?

Hi all!
It is the title: Bought a pair of Abercrombie Curve Love Jeans last year, the ultra high waist slim straight, and they are PERFECT. Never had a pair of jeans fit me so well and so comfortably (I don't have large hips/bum but I have a long torso and a small waist and always struggle with jeans being too big in the waist!)

My problem is, that the above jeans don't come in a standard black denim, the black available in that style currently has leather detailing which I'm not keen on.

So I'm looking for any brands that either advertise a 'curve' range, or any that you've stumbled on that fit like a 'curve' range, that chave a pair of black slim/straight/skinny fit.

Note: I have tried Hollister's equivalent offering and found that the denim was quite stiff.

Thanks in advance!

I know it can look rubbish, but.. you could get what they have and dye them black?

I'm not being sarcastic - any other colour I wouldn't even dream of it (I once had a landlady 'help' by dying my favourite jeans blue after she'd accidentally died them pink - no, I didn't ask her to do my washing anyway), but deep black is way more achievable than others with jeans I'd think.

Not the point of the thread but I have also been looking at these jeans, do you have a pic of them on any chance? I am a click away from ordering, I also wanted black too, but darker denim will have to do!

@ICanSeeMyHouseFromHere
Might be an idea - the dark washes seem to have lighter stitching, and I've heard that it's hard to dye stitching, but il do a bit of research - what would actually help is being able to go and try a load of their styles on, but there's no guarantee of them being stocked in store and they are so expensive I can't justify ordering loads then returning.

@Summerbreeze111 I don't, but if you Google 'abercrombie curve love jeans' you can find loads of reviews and pics on - also if you put 'abercrombie curve love' into Instagram search - really shows the flexibility in fit!

yeah, the stitching and label are going to be the issue.. depends how dedicated to the idea you are, you could snip off/dye the inside stitching of some - in theory, if it's cotton then it should dye fine, but it will be the same colour as the jeans, you can't make it contrast, which can look a bit odd.

Interestingly the pair of A&F curve love jeans I had were stiffer than the Hollister curvy ones, perhaps they differ between styles? American Eagle have a curvy range - their jeans fit well but definitely not as hard wearing as the other brands, especially the more 'jegging' feel ones. I know they're not specifically curvy but Levi's 501 fits the best for my waist to bum (I'm not too hippy) ratio.
