What’s wrong with these jeans?

These jeans feel too tight in some areas (the crotch specifically) and too big in others (really bunched up in the lower stomach area—when sitting). I don’t know what exactly the problem is, but I do know that they are not good.

Can you please help me to determine what exactly is wrong with these jeans so I can try to find a better fit…are these salvageable with the help of a tailor?

For some reference-these are American Eagle Curvy Super High-Waisted Flare jeans in 6 x-long.

I have included a full body pic of me from a few years ago so you have a better idea of what my general body shape is (though I have gained a little since that pic, my body is still that shape overall).

I’ve never bought or worn jeans that are labeled as curvy—but I’m on a mission to find clothes that fit better and are flattering on me, so I figured that I would give these curvy jeans a shot.

I have found that high-waisted flares are the most flattering option for me, and I would typically wear my shirt tucked in, either partially or fully to show off my smaller waist, but I wouldn’t dare do that with these scary jeans on.

Can anyone offer any insight or suggestions?
