I'm torn on this jean... At first, I was ecstatic. These fit great, definitely made me think thinner and were so freaking comfortable it was shocking. Like so comfortable I was just as happy wearing these as lounge pants. I understood what all the rage was about and the pricing. Then they got looser and looser and... I washed them. You have to wash pants of course! I followed instructions. Now suddenly the pants are too loose and aren't making me look thinner like they did before. (No sadly, I haven't lost weight!) Now that they are too loose, I'm constantly tugging at them, shifting around in them and they just fit oddly. Therefore, they are no longer comfortable. When I look in the mirror they aren't cinching in/firming up the places I need them to. I'm planning on getting another pair in black, but I think with those I will get one size smaller. It will be tough to wear a size smaller at first, but within a month I think they will then be the correct size long term. I'm hoping by changing up my sizing it will fix the problem of it changing from first wear to long term wear.UPDATE: 7 months later and there are holes on the inner thigh... :( BUT in the end, I've decided I still love them. I think the key might be to catch them on sale.
