They were fine, I just bought another pair last week and they have an awful smell, like you said sweaty socks and old cheese. I have washed them 3 times, and still they smell bad! they make all the clothes in my was smell bad too! I don't want to wash them 100 times before wearing them, because I like the dark jeans look. This is crazy! and I can't get rid of it! Does anyone have any ideas?? OMG, I bought a pair of Lane Bryants Right Fit jeans (dark) in november 2007.

I love it here! Anyhow, about the Right Fit Jeans. I love the way they fit initially. PERFECT. I'm a 2 Red and they definitely work for me. My fav is the dark wash. A dude gave me kudos on those ;) However, after about the 3rd wear or so, they start to loosen up and the fit is definitely not the same! It's a big baggy actually. I WISH I could say it's because I lost weight. I guess maybe that's just the way it goes with all clothes. But I still miss that initial fit :( This is my first time commenting. I love it here!

I will find something I like try it on, and then run to ebay for it. Have done this for years. Quite the savings...so much so that I got my niece several pairs of True Religion jeans for half the price, you just have to read feedback carefully. I got my first pair of Manolos on ebay !! Simple black platforms and I am a 10.5. I consign the right fit jeans I am a 3 red....in love..wish the talls were not so much longer. I am a not wanna look like everyone else type so let me give you some of my fave lines, google if interested Rundholz- deconstructed hotness Sarah Pacini- sweaters, hot dresses, lovely skirts All time fave -Cynthia ashby- www.cynthiaashby.com Neesh- sweaters, tops, skirts Hard to find but very small boutiques carry them and all over ebay too. I mostly shop online for them A big find early this year was XCVI skirts...sooooo wonderful shapely and reasonable. Aerosoles is stepping up their shoe game...their boots have a secret zipper to enlarge the calf of the leg.. Again try ebay for them if you know your size Remix vintage shoes!! Hot John Fluevog shoes Hott Cydwoq shoes -funky!! **Lastly...try the Gap online....they go on sale 6 weeks after it hits the store don't buy it when it comes out..wait and the sizes are better online.

When I first went to the store I thought, more hype to buy some overpriced clothes. But then I tried on the Curvy fir jeans, and I was hooked. The best jeans I have ever purchased. I like the fact that they come in curvy, slightly curvy and straight cuts. Usually because of my full figured shape I have to buy pants that fit my thighs, but have my pants taken in at the waist. These fit like a glove. Oh Old navy's plus size fall wear loooks good. I too thought old navy was a tweeny high schooly like place. But this year's fall items are looking okay..and some items are downright great. I just hate that it's solely online.

There is a beautiful black woman with natural [looking?] hair in a tunic type top...Granted it all kind of plays into the 'ethnic' appeal of the top/outfit...But it is great to see the variety of beauty being recognized by the more mainstream retailers...Hope you are enjoying your weekend...

This is the first pair of jeans I HAVE bought that does not have a gap at the waist. The jeans will always never be as long as I'd like (I'm 6'1) but other than that I love them. I am a blue 5...
