I also found the black jeans to be very tight across my tummy, and I realized they have a non-stretch pocket stay across the front. I removed this by cutting out the area between the pocket edge and the zipper it made these jeans so much more comfortable! Its an easy fix if youre not into pocket stays like me. The fabric frays, so I serged the raw edge, but you could also use a zig zag stitch on a sewing machine or handsew a whip stitch around the raw edge.
