Plus Size Denim

Last year Lane Bryant introduced it's Right Fit Jeans program and is what enticed me back into a pair of jeans. Specifically their Stretch Book Cut Medium Vintage Sandblast.

When you visit the Right Fit Jeans section at Lane Bryant you'll be asked to choose from four styles of jeans: Stretch Classic, Stretch Bootcut, Stretch Flare, or Houston Pant. Bear in mind the style you pick will also affect how the jeans will fit. Once you pick a style you'll need to click on the link to figure it out your size. A new browser window will pop-up explaining the right fit process. At this point you will need a soft tape measure to get your waist and hip measurements. Waist measurement choices range from 34" - 52" and hip choice ranges are on a sliding scale of three options depending on the waist size you enter. When you're done entering the information press go and a Right Fit Size is given to you.

These jeans come in sizes 12 - 32 (but these numbers go out the window once you figure out your right fit size) for $39.50.

I know! I was shocked to learn about Hips & Curves new Rhinestone Denim Jeans too. But here they are and they look fabulous.

I've never been a big fan of embellishments but they have a simple and understated pattern with just a hint of attitude.

They are also a comfortable price of $38. (free shipping in US on orders of $100). They can be found under Hips & Curves apparel section. Available sizes go from 1 X all the way up to 6x!

What I like about these jeans is that they are not overly dark or overly washed. Of course they have 3% spandex to give them a little stretch both for comfort and to give a bit of a comfie hug.
