They fit like a glove except for my swayback caused the waist in the rear to be loose.
If you google swayback pant alteration will bring up methods to sew this. It was pretty easy and took about an hour.

Great idea. I have had to take in the waist on pants for the same reason.

I do this alteration on every pair of pants I wear; it's the other part of a full rear adjustment. Your back and your booty are just fine. RTW pants just don't accommodate the curves.
On the other end of the spectrum, my mother had no booty, and THAT alteration is impossible.
Great save. Good luck with the dress.

Yeah, I wouldn't call it a swayback. You just have a bigger hip to waist ratio than what the jeans are normally made for. And actually, a bigger ratio is more attractive than a smaller one (they have done studies that prove this.)
