Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I think one of the more helpful thing reviewers can leave are measurements, so here are mine: 5'2", 170 lbs, 36-31-44. Basically, I'm short and pear-shaped. I've never been a huge legging fan - sure, they're comfortable, but they're not always the most flattering thing for my body-type/size. I've also found that at least one of the following is true: 1) "short" lengths don't really mean short enough, and I have to get things hemmed anyway; 2) if the hips fit, the waist is huge (and vice versa); and/or 3) "jean"-like leggings look like anything but jeans. By some strange, dark magic, these jeggings are just the right length, fit my hips and waist, and look pretty similar to jeans. I did have to do a bit of a shimmy to get the elastic waistband past my thighs, but once I did, the waistband fit my waist well (not too loose, and not binding). I ordered the large short, and the length was just right on me (at my ankle bone, with no bunching). I will say that these won't look *just* like jeans, but they are very close, and close enough for me personally. Funny story: I ordered these for my Mom for Christmas, and tried them on myself to check the size. She'll clearly need a medium, and I liked them so much I'm not only keeping them for myself, but ordering another pair!
