Levi Strauss Signature Gold Women's Totally Shaping Pull-on Skinny Jeans (Available in Plus Size)

Let's face it: when you're a voluptuous goddess, buying jeans is almost as bad as buying swimsuits. I loathe it. Every company has a different fit, a different idea of sizes, etc. I weigh 230, I'm 5'7", and wear a solid 3x, usually a size 22/24. I have an apple body, and long, more slender legs. Usually my waist is a size larger than my legs, so when I find jeans that fit in the waist, they're usually too baggy in the legs. I ordered these jeans in a size 22, and they fit perfectly! Comfortable in the waist, fitted in the legs.After wearing these for a while, they loosened up, probably due to the spandex/stretch in the fabric (which is great!). They don't bag at the knees! I have not washed these yet, I'm hoping they'll shrink just a bit, so they'll go on tight and loosen up a bit with wear. I will edit this review after I've washed and worn the jeans again.The dark color "mascara" was a dark, dark blue. I like it, but I'd love to see some lighter colors in this jean. I wore them with uggs and a casual tunic; I also dressed them up with a nice top and blazer, and menswear-style brogues.After purchasing these, I've since tried other Levi's signature jeans, including tall lengths (I have long legs), straight-leg jeans in typical blue, etc. When you find a company that makes jeans that look good, you buy more! The best part is how ridiculously affordable these jeans are. Until I was wearing these, I had to buy jeans from a pricey department store, spending more than $100 a pair.I highly recommend these; given the stretch, if you're between sizes, you could possibly go down a size.LONG STORY SHORTPROS* Great fit for plus size women* Fashionable skinny jeans not just for skinny girls!* Comfortable, sturdy fabric with great stretch without bagging at the knees* Versatile style, can be dressed up or down* Reasonable price* Fashionable dark "mascara" denim* Jeans you can wear all day without dying to take them off when you get homeCONS* Stretchy fabric can make the (unwashed!) waistband feel loose after wearing a while* Possible slenderizing effect could leave you with potential partners fighting to get a view of your buttI don't receive products or services for my reviews - I write them because I read and use *your* reviews!

I bought these (Bae, standard size 14) before reading the reviews. I was a little nervous. But they fit like a dream. I have hips but very little booty. These make me look like I have one! And the stretch is perfect. They are also so comfortable. There is a slight gap in the waistband in the back but I am chalking that up to me being sway backed. I will be buying more!

Do not go by the Amazon-page posted size chart or the Levi one in the image array when you place your order. You're going to have to make your best guess between the two as they are both off by a couple of inches (in waist, hip, and length).This confusing issue with two different sizing charts was at the time of my purchase. It is possible this information could change in the future. For now, this is my experience.Assume the numbers the post has listed are short (27), medium (29), and tall (31). These numbers don't accurately reflect the actual length of the jeans. For example, because I was so confused about the sizing information and lost weight in recent months, I ordered two sizes, both the same length. I opted for the 31 as I have a 31-inch inseam, thinking that is what I would get. Now, everyone is physically different. I've known men who were 6 feet tall who have a 31-inch inseam and super short people who somehow have a 33. To clarify, I'm hovering at 5ft4in, weight ~140lbs, with ~30-inch waist with 33-34-inch hips and, as I said, a 31-inch inseam. I have more butt than I do a gut, full thighs (no gap), and an hourglass shape (equal shoulder to hip ratio with a slimmer waste). While others give some details about their proportions to help guide others to a size that might work, they neglect to mention other things like their actual inseam, waist, weight, or body type.I order two colorways (darker wash story-sky and lighter harmony) in two sizes (4 pairs of jeans total) in 10 and 12. I selected the 31 on the Amazon page, thinking I'd get 31-inseam. No. Again, very confusing information regarding inseam ordering. Both the 10 and 12 fit, but I opted to keep the Harmony 12 since these are skin-tight jeans and somehow fit better than the darker wash in the same size.My only real issue is with the length. I received two pairs in 10L 30x32 and two pairs in 12L 31x32. So the 31 on the sale post means 32 long. Why they have them listed: 27, 29, and 31 makes no sense to me. Just assume the 27 means short, the 29 means medium, and the 31 means long regardless of the number. They don't represent the actual length. Again, I requested the 31 and got 32, which doesn't even match what the image sizing Levi provided. Had it, I would have ended up with a 30x34, as 34 is their long measurement.I was only able to keep one pair out of the four I ordered. The lighter of the two shades in the 12Lx32 fit better than the darker wash. I returned the rest and retried ordering using their wacky method.This time I opted for the 29. I got the 30x31 this time around. It is like jeans-lotto. At least I know what my overall size is. Even though it too didn't match either sizing chart. The one on the sales page says 10 = 32.25in waist, and 12 = 31.50in waist, which is obviously a mistake, and on the Levi sizing chart, 10=32.25 and 12=33.5. My 12L was 31Wx32L.I have no clue who to trust or which chart I can go by. So I just went for the next size down (29) and crossed my fingers. Thankfully, they fit.The jeans themselves are like wearing a stretchy corset but for my legs and butt. I look fantastic in these jeans. They are something of a labor to get in and out of if you're not accustomed to wearing skinny jeans. I'm certainly not. I tend to lean to boot cut, but I have some cute sweaters and wanted something with a flat front I could wear them with. There are no buckles, buttons, zippers, belt loops, or even pockets on some of the jeans. Your sweater or shirt will lay flat and not get rubbed by a protruding button or hard edge corner where your jeans meet, assuming you get the jeggings style. These are completely flat and make your tummy appear flatter with the design. The pockets on the front are fake, unless you get the pants with the loops. Some of those have pockets. Ladies are pretty much used to having near non-existing pockets anyway. Which sucks. But for this style of jeans, it makes sense. The two back pockets are generous in size. I have a place for my phone. These are incredibly stretchy and form-fitting. The material feels good, though I'm not sure how it'll hold up after they're washed a few times. I can only hope they keep their shape.

I already own a size 8 in these jeans. I have gained some weight so when I went to put them on, I could but they were too tight for me. I decided to go up a size. I am 5’4” 170lbs (trying to lose 20) and the size 10 were much better. So much give in them. I was not uncomfortable with a long shirt on and these should do perfect while I lose those pounds. Highly recommend!

LOVE these jeans! They are soft, fit perfect and are very comfortable.

These jeans are comfortable, but they do not fit me right. They fit like high rise, but there is too much material in the front making it look like I have a pouch. I own 3 pair of these jeans and Ive never had this problem until now.

Love the style and quality of these jeans. Has stretch and fit perfect. I am 5’4” so I ordered the short jeans and they were the perfect length. Would recommend! AAA+++

Love these jeans! Stretchy fabric makes for a great fit. True to size. Levis rock!

Love these! Light and form fitting. I'm losing weight, one jean size at a time. This is a new size for me. Even though they are SNUG they are so comfortable. My next size down will be the same brand.

I always avoided the “legging style” skinny jean because I thought the waist would pinch.These do not! They are actually more comfortable than a standard pair of jeans!! Very pleased!!

El pantalón era hermoso pero lo tuve que devolver ya que me llego un numero 6 que es una talla mas chica que la que pedí

These jeans are amazing. I find it hard to buy jeans that dont give me a muffin top as I dont have a six pack (have a normal, soft mid section). I dont like tight waists that squeeze my middle. I am 5' 3" and 136 lbs. I bought size 10 Short and they fit amazing. The length is perfect and so is the fit. They are very comfy in the waist - no muffin top. I probably could have gotten an 8 Short too but that might be too tight in the middle section for my liking and I dont like that at all so Im sticking with a 10. Excellent fit from waist to ankles. I ordered 2 more colors. Love them!!!!!!!
