Democracy womens Absolution Jegging Jeans, Black, 4 US

These jeans just might be my new Roman Empire. Where have these been all my life? Lol. Once I figured out my sizing with these, I can definitively say that they fit exactly as described - no waist gap, tummy compression, butt-lifting, great stretch that doesn’t loosen up as you wear them. Great material. They are comfy yet form fitting. My journey to figure out my size in the democracy brand was … interesting. Thank goodness for Amazon’s try before you buy. I am 133lbs, 5’3”. Depending on the brand, I deviate between a 4-8 (27-29) and usually I start by trying a 6 and 8 which I did here. The 8 was huge and the 6 was as well. Also the legs were long. I had very obvious bunching at my ankles and I really wanted a more put together look. Sent those sizes back and reordered in size 4. It was then I noticed that Democracy had short lengths. Snatched up a size 4 and 4S. The 4S is perfect. I immediately ordered the only other color available in 4S and even kept the size 4R because I loved the color. So in less than a month, I ended up owning 3 pairs of these jeggings and I will buy them again if Amazon ever carries them in a 4S!! Take advantage of “Try before you buy” and get these, they are worth the price and when on sale, a total steal!
