I wear jeans pretty much everyday and I've been hanging them to dry for over a year. It almost eliminates the grow two sizes each wear factor and keeps the color true. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-plus-size-skinny-jeans#post-579997 Wed, 28 Mar 2012 00:12:14 +0000 Angie 579997@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>100% truth - and I wrote a blog post on that, Christie: </p> <p><a href="http://youlookfab.com/2010/03/15/denim-care-and-tumble-driers/" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/2010/03/.....le-driers/</a></p> <p>NEVER tumble dry jeans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-plus-size-skinny-jeans#post-579906 Tue, 27 Mar 2012 23:00:42 +0000 christieanne 579906@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I told a Nordstrom sales person that I didn't want to try the NYDJ (he was showing me colored jeans) and he said I probably didn't like the pair I had because I put them in dryer and didn't air dry them. he claimed air drying was the secret to not killing the stretch factor. Any truth to that?<br /> Beth Ann posted her red Bandolino's on another thread and that reminded me that I have a pair of black bootcuts from them that are fantastic. I also really like my Jag pull on skinnies - no zipper to show through tops. They make a bootcut as well and if you are not on Team Tuck, no one is the wiser. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-plus-size-skinny-jeans#post-579470 Tue, 27 Mar 2012 15:01:32 +0000 Angie 579470@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh yes! I saw Marianna in her James Jeans and they are KILLER. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-plus-size-skinny-jeans#post-579468 Tue, 27 Mar 2012 14:59:49 +0000 marianna 579468@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you want some premium denim and are willing to spend money on jeans, James Jeans from Nordies are great. The fit is really nice and girdling, and they feel a bit more youthful than NYDJ (although I wear NYDJ too). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-plus-size-skinny-jeans#post-579440 Tue, 27 Mar 2012 14:48:10 +0000 Desmo April 579440@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't do the Gap's, they aren't actually plus size enough for me. My favorite skinnys are Am Rag Cie from Macy's but I don't think they are current. They are technically jeggings but are structured like regular jeans. I rarely find plus size jeans that fit like true skinnys.</p> <p> I also have the Old Navy Rockstar jeggings but I use those exclusively with boots and tunics. They vary WILDLY in sizing though. I have two pair in the same size, style and color--one fits great and the other can barely button.</p> <p>I just got a pair of Kut from Kloth jeans that claim to be skinnys but are actually straight leg. I'm really liking them. They are the nicest denim I've ever had in my size.</p> <p>I had a pair of NYDJ a few years ago that I was disappointed in. I haven't tried them recently but what I've seen on the racks has felt better so its good to hear that they have actually improved. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-plus-size-skinny-jeans#post-579365 Tue, 27 Mar 2012 14:11:40 +0000 Angie 579365@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Michelle, good point. NYDJ's have improved over the last year and I have a few happy clients in those too </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-plus-size-skinny-jeans#post-579307 Tue, 27 Mar 2012 13:35:43 +0000 Michelle 579307@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know some of Angie's clients have disagreed, but I've had good luck with NYDJ's in plus-sizes. Definitely more expensive than the options above, but worth keeping in mind if these aren't working out.<br /> Also worth remembering - if you wind up feeling self-conscious in true skinnies, go for straight-legged jeans. They have the same effect, but help dial down the self-consciousness for me personally. If you need a dressier pair of slim pants, Gap's true straight pants are the best things ever. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-plus-size-skinny-jeans#post-579294 Tue, 27 Mar 2012 13:23:16 +0000 modgrl 579294@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The Always Skinnies stretched out in a minute for me. I had to return them.<br /> I have the Old Navy Rock star jeggings. They've gotten good reviews in the plus sizes. I love mine. They run tight. Size up! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-plus-size-skinny-jeans#post-579292 Tue, 27 Mar 2012 13:21:28 +0000 Lisa 579292@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great question! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-plus-size-skinny-jeans#post-578781 Mon, 26 Mar 2012 23:15:16 +0000 Angie 578781@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>By all means try the Gap. Try Levis and Calvin Klein too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-plus-size-skinny-jeans#post-578768 Mon, 26 Mar 2012 22:57:20 +0000 donna 578768@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Do you still recommend GAP Always Skinny jeans for plus sized apple shapes? And what brfand jean would you recommend for bootcut jeans? </p>
