We’ve found a brand of jeans that fit like butt-er. Know what we mean?

Not Citizens, or Joes, or Sevens. Try on a pair of Red Engine Jeans (www.redenginejeans.com) if you can find them.

The California-made denims are softer and stretchier, and somewhat low-rise, but not in a hurtful way. They’ll wrap your behind into a juicy bundle, pack in your post-partum pouch, and slim your thighs into legs you won’t recognize as your own.

You see, unlike some of the other high-end designer jeans for the severely food deprived, Red Engines are forgiving of our mortal sins. You won’t have to stuff yourself into the package. The jeans mold to your shape.

Oprah put Cambios (www.cambioamerica.com) on the map . She was right, except those flattering high-waisted jeans put comfort before style. No teenage daughter would not be caught dead in Cambios. Not so, with our little Engines that could.

You will have to search for your new jeans, and pay the usual designer price. ($175+ a pair). They were not in a sea of designer denim at Neiman Marcus. The clerks at Nordstrom had never heard of them. None of our other favorite department stores carry them.

We found our Red Engines at Finishing Touches in Denville, a great boutique where they always know what fits. With a twenty percent discount to boot. There is a list of other local retailers carrying the brand on the company’s website.

Ladies, start your engines!
