the perfect jeans?

I hate to be an agent for the dissemination of advertising - but I have to sing the praises of the new Lane Bryant jeans!! For us ladies with some curves, chub, and what have you - it can be very difficult to find the right kind of jeans! I have some pretty serious hips and quite the Buddha belly as well.....I have never fit well into Lane Bryant's jeans and was distraught when I no longer fit into the Gap ones I liked so much. So, I haven't been much of a denim wearer for the last couple years.

So, I was in Lane Bryant yesterday to get some jogging shorts - and saw their new jeans line in stock. I figured I would see how they worked - since it was a huge launch and I had heard a few things about the new sizing. They have 3 different body shapes and then a number of different cuts within the shape and then of course sizing within each shape/cut......I discovered a pair of jeans that actually sit on my hips like a glove! woah! No more buckling material in the back, causing the plumber booty!!

The only thing that keeps these from being the "perfect" jeans is the fact they still use stretch denim, which I don't like - though they are using a new fiber mix, which doesn't have the same elasticity as the old ones. I like my jeans firm and rigid - not all stretchy.....they aren't perfect. But, they are close.

I have to say - if you are in the plus size range and you need a good fit in your denim....go and try some on. The rest of the fashion industry needs to catch on. We ladies are not all shaped the same! Hallelujah Lane Bryant! They aren't your mother's Lane Bryant anymore.....remember when all they had were old lady clothes? yeeesh!
