Tummy Tuck Jeans WTF?: A Review

[lonely_highway]

The other day I decided I needed some jeans as I've outgrown my standards (SJB Bitten jeans, I will miss you). I was at Cargo Largo, the GREATEST odd lots/salvage store in the Kansas City area. After trying on a dozen pair of jeans in different sizes and brands, I ended up with two. A pair of Diva-cut Old Navy jeans for $15 and a strange pair from

Maybe it's just the photo, but those jeans seem like they maybe should be a size larger -- those deep creases at the top of your thigh makes it look (to me at least) like you're a bit shrink-wrapped in them. Just my opinion. For what it's worth I have a few pairs of NYDJ -- come to think if it, I am wearing a pair right now -- and I usually go up a size from other jeans brands.

And, hello -- $15? I am jealous!

Most of my jeans have that crease because my thighs puff out, but then I go in at the abdomen/pelvis. When I first put them on this morning I was thinking maybe they were a touch too small, but now that I've worn them most of the day, I think that if I found a larger size (keyword: found), they probably would be too loose.

And yeah, when I saw the retail price I was shocked. But then again, my previous jeans have been SJP Bitten, which I paid $10 retail for. So you have an idea of my budget.

Off-topic, but Bitten jeans are the shit. I wear mine all the time. I'm sad I didn't buy more than two pairs!

For serious. I almost exclusively wear the two pairs I have, and lately I've found myself cursing inwardly about only buying two pairs. SIIIIIIGH.

What I mean about the bagginess in that area is that in high-waisted jeans that creased area is the baggy part.

That's what I thought too- that the jeans were way too tight and terribly unflattering. However, I'm assuming OP took this photo before they stretched out, and as she stated below they stretched significantly.
