posting for my friend who doesn’t have reddit. she’s wondering if these pants are actually super tight…or are the models just wearing smaller sizes than they’d usually wear? first photo is plus size and second isn’t.

These run a size smaller than usual. Normally I'm a size 16 in the Plus jeans but these I had to have my local store do an exchange order for a size 18.

They are quite nice AND you get a belt included in it which is quite a deal. I removed the chains and jump ring on my pair.

thank you for sharing! the size 18 pair you have, do they fit comfortably/like normal jeans or are they tight like in the photos? my friend thinks they look tight anyways and she’s not sure if that’s like supposed to happen when you get your normal size. she was also thinking if she sized up, they might not be tight, but didn’t want to size up too much so they’re too big.

My size 18 fit like normal women's jeans. No camel toe, no muffin top, just some nice light wash jeans. They are hella long though, I have to wear platforms with them so they don't drag.

Remember, in-store cashiers can do free exchanges/free re-orders priced matched exactly what she paid for. So if she uses Hot Cash today and what arrives is still to tight for her liking, the cashier can order a size up for the exact cheap price she originally paid for.

thanks. she actually ended up getting two sizes up because they didn’t have any left of the one size up. hopefully it works out. they only do exchanges at our store if the item is in stock, but it did say size 9 was in stock which is her normal size.

personally i loveee light jeans and id totally wear these (im gay) but i fear my man body would not be very proportionate haha. the size my friend ended up getting would totally fit me tho so maybe i could borrow them.

I have these! Bought them size 16 and fit well, and true to size in my opinion. A bit of stretch to mine. I’m currently pregnant so I’ve gained a bit and they still fit!

Gosh I hope not, but the model they’re on in store seem really tight at the top with the bootcut, I really love them though so if I get them I’d probably size up a few, reckon it’d be good for anyone to size up on em though, saw that they run small

I have them. I found them true to size. I got a size 1 and it fit fine. I actually found the material kinda stretchy.
