My daughters are built similarly (and I used to be, though I was also only medium height and plumper than you or they are). But they tolerate spandex better, and I think modern clothes designers rely way too much on various forms of elastic, rather than cutting their clothes to fit properly.
I know people with small waists who swear by hip-hugger jeans precisely because they need not fit the waist. I also know some (one of my daughters among them) who have switched to high-waisted jeans of the type that used to be decried as "mom jeans" and are now marketed under that description. Presumably the roominess that is meant to be for a middle-aged belly also works for accommodating hips, but I suspect an all-cotton version, if there is any, would be baggy in the legs for you.
makeyourownjeans.com has custom fitted 100% cotton jeans for $79. Not in most people's jeans budgets but not a completely unthinkable price.
