Belle jeggings that are listed as TSV

DAD — Sat, 05 Oct 2019 13:50:30 GMT

They must be on another day. I do not own any flexibelle jeans. I have been wearing a 14 in regular jeans, but a few styles in a 16. I really think I need the 16 in these as I don't want skin tight jeggings. 16 from the specific size chart seems to match me best in the 16 in the waist anyway. I have a little bit bigger hip than the size chart. So should I go with waist or hip? I know they have stretch & going to a womens size I think the hip might be too big. I mean the worst that can happen is I will have to return. But talls sell out so fast! Any answers? Thank you! I love these forums!

Appreciate your dilemma.

I look at all pants like this:

As long as I can get them up, over my hips, that part is ok. But I have to be able to sit, bend, eat a meal without being miserable, so the comfort has to be there at the waist.

- I have a favourite pair of pants I usually wear to Dr appointments. I recently realized it's the tightness around the waist when I'm sitting that's been driving up my blood pressure readings!!!

Go for comfort at the waist.

Edit: Paging @Imaoldhippie

Didn't you say you have a dozen pair of this brand?

My first thought would to go with your biggest part----but----i usually go up a size especially in leggings or skinny jeans--do not like skin tight no matter what hype the vendor spreads----they ALWAYS fit me too tight and you can see all the "stuff" I have . Maybe order 2 sizes and send the one that doesn't fit back--may be worth the return fee. I am a firm medium but go to a large for a more relaxed fit in jeggings, leggings , skinnys----

Those jeggings don't have belt loops. I need them to keep my pants from sliding down. Easy pass. Why do all these pull-on style pants and jeans have no belt loops?? Frustrating for me.

@x Hedge ...........I have 6 pair and I was just thinking what I would tell her as to her size.

@DAD ............You will love your flexibelles. In my case I went with my waist size. Im not an apple or a pear shape but a beer keg shape. My stomach area is where I carry my fat. The rest of the jeggings fit just perfect. I hope you like your jeggings as much as I do.

@SilleeMee ......flexibelles do not stretch out or slide down so belts are not necessary. They are not like other stretch jeans that grow when you wear them.

I tried this brand about three months ago, Finally after years and years, I found a pair of jeans that will fit my body without stopping my circulation. I'm in between sizes and carry my weight in my front tummy and muffin top. I ordered by my hip size. I sized up one because there was only a small difference between the two sizes . I didn't want to hear stitches popping trying to get them past my hips. I've ordered the crops and the cropped leggings and I'm very pleased. I wear them every week. So comfy. I noticed it when I was driving the car that it didn't dig into my middle. That may be TMI but this search for jeans at an affordable $ has been a "quest". LOL

I don't buy any clothes here, but over several posts about this, you've nearly talked me into buying a pair of these Belle's, @Imaoldhippie .

Thank you for your advice! I was a pear most of my life, then after menopause my thighs don't have saddle bags but all my weight goes to my stomach! I don't drink beer often! LOL But that's the shape I guess . When I see Kim on lately she says she's wearing a 12, used to be 14. What is she wearing underneath? Three pairs of spanx?? I also am not well endowed on top. If some of my fat would just go there!

@SilleeMee ,

The Belle's are somehow a knit that's constructed on a weaving machine.

(no idea)

But the resulting fabric has made me very curious, due to the remarks from posters who've tried them.

I do have some other brands (knit) I have to constantly pull up, so appreciate your desire for belt loops.

Thank you! I just can't handle being squeezed into pants or anything else. I really do want to try them so I have decided to try two sizes and exchange or send them back "my way" if my size isn't available. It seems like she has tweaked these from the last TSV that had the zippers. Measurements are just a little bigger. It's my Christmas present for me. My husband said give them a try! He liked the look!

@DAD ...........Kim has lost weight so she went down a size. She also has said to go down a size because of the stretch, but I buy my regular size 14 and they fit great.

Imaoldhippie — Sat, 05 Oct 2019 15:40:43 GMT

@x Hedge ..........If you buy a pair I dont think you will be disappointed. They fit me so well and look nice. I am in the process of replacing all my regular jeans for flexibelle's.

I saw Kim when she was first able to squeeze into a 12. She is losing weight and was just in a 12 (standing up only) for that hour to reward herself. She was clearly still in need of a 14 or larger for allaround wear. But if I lost enough to get into a 12 for an hour, I would too! 😁

I am a big fan of the Flexibells. I have a few pair in crop length, but I am ordering these in the full length. I carry my weight in the tummy area and these cover that. They are a bit snug going over the hips, but once up they fit great and are comfortable. I have been pleased, hope you are too! P.S. I order an 8P which is what I am in Susan Graver pants. Mine have not shrunk. I am 5'1" and 128 lbs. if that helps.

I just bought a pair a couple of weeks ago, they are a little tight in the waist but they stretch a little and are so comfortable. They are a little big for me in back and in the legs but I didn't size down because of the waist. I paid $49.98, don't really see how this is a specail value, only 29 cents cheaper

Good point about the 12. I want to wear them all day & not feel like I can't wait to take them off. I really don't understand why they put models in sizes that are too small. It's obvious to the viewer. And the ladies needing belt loops must not be getting the right size. It defeats the purpose of not having a zipper & button sticking thru your tops. I have a few that are pull up style and everything just glides over that area. The style I got was not from QVC & the legs are wider than I like. I will have to get the sewing machine out when it's snowing!
