Every year I go on a hunt to find a pair, and every year I'm disappointed. I am a size 16-18, and all I want is to be able to buy the same pair of denim 3/4 jeans than if I was a 12-14 (just made a bit bigger), I don't want daggy and old-fashioned cry1.gif I'm only 40 and want to be able to dress like I'm 40!

Can anyone suggest somewhere I might find what I'm looking for?

Actually to add to my vent - I fit nicely into a size 16 jeans at Target, love them, only the size 16 denim 3/4 jeans are way too tight rant.gif

try Autograph or even Millers. I bought a 3/4 pair from each last season and well I think they look good - not too daggy.

also Autograph is having a sale at the moment - mght be something available for a good price.

Millers - I bought 3 x pairs there last year, made out of stretchy black denim, so comfy it almost feels like you're wearing tights! (and no they aren't jeggings). I think they were less than $20 each and Best & Less wanted $35 for one pair!

I agree, Millers or Rockmans... Millers by far better value
I find Target stretch denims really poor quality - the few things I've tried fit well for an hour then go all saggy and baggy which I think is a poor quality stretch fabric thing
Perhaps they've improved things but once bitten twice shy
It's a real down side of plus size - not being able to grab great clothes off the rack

I got a black pair at Big W for $12!!!! a few weeks ago and they are really good. I Do have to roll the bottom cuff up once more though because I'm short.
The target ones I bought last year rubbed my stomach raw where the stitching was. Plus had to go up a size or 2 as well. I'm on the lookout for blue ones now though.
