I went to the Lane Bryant store in Queenbury NY, asked the sales lady for guidance in purchasing jeans that don't stretch out of shape. She steered me to the mid-rise jeans saying they held their shape, etc. Well... after trying on, purchasing, (they had to order size 22 petite and send them to me) washing and altering the hem, I put them on and within less than 2 hours they were stretched out at least 1 size larger! I had to keep hiking them up so they wouldn't fall down. Why on earth are they making these jeans? They are supposed to be skinny jeans and there is at least 4-5 inches of room in the legs, seat and hips, nothing like the pictures on the website. Of course, they say you can't return after washing or altering, etc. I bought 2 pairs so wasted over $100. Don't rely on the photos, they are very misleading. Not happy at all.
