ReplyDeleteThose Curve ID jeans all look rather form-fitting. Clearly, Levi's is saying that women over size 14 should wear baggier clothing or maybe dress like men, because no one wants to see that wrapped in skin-tight denim. Though, seeing that they have 22 styles of jeans for plus-sized women, and seeing the explanation of how plus-sized women are all so very different in where they hold their weight, makes it make a lot more sense. I wonder if having only white people in their ad is a combination of knowing that's the majority of their market, and not caring to expand their market at all.
I know when I was size 2 and had the same ass I have now at size 6/8, I would have loved some booty jeans made by Levi's. The booty jeans in the booty jean stores at the mall aren't even remotely my style. I am simply too old to wear that much glitter and bedazzling. But now I just keep buying the same style of low-waisted Levi's I've been buying for years. At the outlet mall because it's cheaper. And low-waisted because then it doesn't matter what my waist measurement does. The jeans will pretty much always fit my unchanging hips.
Yeah, there are a lot of skinny jean styles. But in the past few years "curvy" has become fashion lingo for "plus sized," so it looks pretty bad to have their "curvy" line end at the average size of American women.
