I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE these pants! NYDJ are the most amazing jeans/leggings/pants I have ever purchased. I have been in a weight loss patter and have purchased them from 18, to 16 to 14 and now 12. They consistently make me feel better about how I look...no matter the size. I can always count on NYDJ. The funny thing is.... now I am buying them for my MOTHER. So they ARE her "daughter's jeans"! ~Susie L
