Lane Bryant Right Fit Jeans —

I have a totally hard to fit jeans-type - I'm 5'4 (the very tallest you can be and still be considered "petite," or as they put in plus-sized clothes now, because we ain't petite... short) with a LONG torso. This means that most "short" fit pants have too little "rise" for me, along with the fact that I carry a lot of my extra weight in my tummy. So right fit has proven to be an awesome solution for me, in that I can get a petite jean made for a really curvy waist, which hugs me in all the right places.

On the plus side, you have:

Cute styles
Nice dark, fashionable rinses
Stretch, for comfort
A quality, durable product

On the negative side, you've got:

Stretch - in plus sizes, this tends to "bag-out" after a few wears, leading to the need for more frequent washes
A fairly expensive price tag, at around $50 per pair. Sometimes you can catch them on sale. I'd love to see these go for around $30 regular price... I know that at as high of a level of retail as Lane Bryant is, this isn't going to happen, but I think good jeans should be accessible to everyone, and since Right-Fit is more about flattery and "basic, every day wear" (to me), I think it should be made a bit more reasonable.
