There will be an IM TSV in January for a relatively recent style of  pull-on jean that Gloria Vanderbilt started and other businesses have started to do. 

 

The GV jeans are of a nice quality material like their Amanda jeans, and stretch considerably. I first purchased an 18W and they were slightly too large, so went with a 16W which are snug but stretching slowly and totally wearable. 

 

I purchased a similar pair from Blair and their 16W is very snug and because the fabric is cheaper and less stretchy I don't think they will work.

 

My question - what is the fabric like in the IM jeans - good quality/good stretch, or not so much. Do you think they run small, large or true to size? So much QVC clothing runs larger than true, but don't know about IM's. There is no sizing available for the TSV but I looked at a chart for his other jeans. It doesn't help me a lot. I am large in the waist and somewhat in the stomach, and proportionately narrower in the thighs.

 

Any help would be appreciated - thanks!

I have 4 pr of IM jeans and love them. They stretch  but don't bag. I sized down, 1 size, because ,they felt a little  bigger, than other  jeans.
