While hard to come by, a great pair of plus size jeans are the perfect wardrobe staple. In fact, many women confess that they would live in them if only they could find the PERFECT pair.
According to a new national poll featured in the September 2010 issue of ShopSmart, 85 percent of women typically wear jeans at least once a week, though more than half said they’d wear jeans every day if they could get away with it. And even though women own an average of seven pairs of jeans they tend to only wear four of them on a regular basis.
As much as women are hooked on these weekend faves turned fashion staple, over half of the women polled (56%) said they have trouble finding jeans that fit and flatter, with 8 percent seeking professional help to find a pair.
The Top 10 Things That Make It Difficult to Find the Perfect Pair

What’s your jean complaint?
















I believe the number reason that it is so hard to find a great pair of jeans for most women is because no two butts are alike!
My usually complaint is they ride up to my stomach in the front and down to my crack in the back.
My current fave pair is a right fit jeans vintage from LB.
The butt issue and the length always get me and sometimes the inner thigh and muffin top BUT I found a great pair at AS the only thing is that I still get a little muffin top out of them and if I pullthem up higher then they look too short for me cause I’m tall too.
