Jeggings. They have their place. I've been dying to try a pair for months now, especially the black denim jegging from Evans. One thing about my figure is that I often don't fit into plus size bottoms. I have thin legs and small hips/rear compared to my wait size, so most PLUS bottoms fit too wide in the hips and thighs to wear. I usually end up looking like I have deer haunches from the sagging fabric. I'm not a total apple shape, but I'm more apple than anything else. Anyway, I always have to approach plus-sized bottoms carefully. I ordered a size down (a UK20) from I thought I may be after I saw they had a promo for an extra 20% off. I was really pleased with the fit! They're a tad roomy through the hips and legs, but I wouldn't classify them as being too big. They just aren't skin tight, which is fine. The fabric is stretchy, but firm enough, and thicker than others I've tried (::cough::Faith21::cough). I love that they come up to the waist, cause let's face it, in today's clingy knits, our chubs look smoother in higher-waisted pants. Don't worry, they don't come too high in the rise (and I have an especially short torso, so I would bet on most of you, they would fit right below bellybutton) and the cut is still very modern.
Overall, I give the quality 4 out of 5 stars, and the fit 4 out of 5 stars.
Would be great for pear shapes, apples who size down and hourglasses who breathe (aka, all of you). Skip it if you're a strawberry or an orange or a banana... or a kumquat. Okay I'll stop.
