lee jeans on oprah

lee jeans on oprah associated information that I have just been scanning.







I had wanted the Lee jeans that have been advertised as slimming. When I saw them in a store for $25.00 I thought I was getting a great deal. As it turns out you can buy them online at Lee.com for the same price.

We were not around in the mid 1800s but it seems that it was during that time that slimming products were the rage and that need for slimming items has continued since. We've had corsets, girdles, control top panties and of course Oprah Winfrey's favorite slimming product, Spanx.

Lee Jeans has made the Natural Fit line that has an inside construction with built -in slimming features. Lee makes a variety of types of jeans and pants. I bought the Extended Tab with tummy control. All of the products have two pockets but they aren't on the sides. Side pockets instantly add weight. These are just below the waist band and are straight across. The pockets on the inside go across the entire pant giving an extra layer of fabric (mesh) that holds in the tummy. Lee has moved the side seams forward a bit to create a look of slimmer legs. The waistband has no gaps and is very comfortable. The pants have two back pockets with buttons. They are totally flat and not like the usual pockets on your jeans. The line starts at $25.00 and goes up to $35.00.

According to Liz Cahill, the Director of Advertising and Public Relations for Lee Jeans "A recent leejeans.com poll revealed that 40 percent of women said their tummy was the first thing they looked at in the mirror when trying on a new pair of jeans."

Research by Kurt Salmon Associates (KSA) showed that 90% of apparel manufacturers use out -dated sizing systems. The information from this research helped Lee pinpoint our (women's) challenges.

The waistband is wide coming in at 2 inches. This helps the leaner look I want. They come in khaki, black, string, and navy although JCPenny who has them for $29.00 also lists light khaki (which is the string) and khaki plaid.

The sizes run from 4 to 18 however on Amazon.com you can find larger sizes for $29.99. The pants are made of 98% cotton and 2% spandex. (What would we do without spandex?) They are machine washable on warm and can be tumble dried on low. The inseam on the misses is about 32 inches; the petites are 29 inches; the misses long are 34 inches and the women's are 32 inches.

I bought the brown in a medium length. If the store had the long I would have tried them on. The medium just fits me and I'm 5 feet 4 inches tall. If you are any taller you will have to go with a long. I am an 8/10 and in spite of these being slimming I took the 10 in them but overall they seem to run a bit small so if you are buying them online I'd go with the next size if you are in-between sizes.

I really like them. I find them comfortable to wear and they are slimming. I love the waist band which buttons to the right of the zipper with two buttons. That flattens the tummy as well.

At $25.00 they were a good choice for me.
