I love these jeans.  Theyve got just the right amount of stretch and just the right amount of compression.  Theyre very comfortable and flattering.  I normally wear a size 18 pants, but I was given a pair of size 20 to review and I expected them to be a little bit too big, but they fit me perfectly.  I wouldnt really want to go down a size.  I have a small waist but a big butt, stomach and thighs.  They have a compression panel inside the front (kind of reminds me of maternity pants).  They have faux fly and front pockets and real back pockets.  The fabric seems like a substantial real denim  not that thin stuff that jeggings are made of that tries to pass itself off as denim.  I love these and want to get them in more colors.
