Looking Slimmer: Not Your Daughter's Jeans (NYDJ)
I'm a jeans junkie, having owned hundreds of pairs of jeans in my life.
I love the look and the style, the softness of the denim and the way in which jeans simply go with just about everything. They can be dressed up or dressed down, and have a way of making a woman feel good about herself. After age 40 though, jeans don't look quite so terrific on us aging gals and tend to accentuate parts of our body that are best left a little less noticeable.
I had read an advertisement about a new line of jeans called Not Your Daughter's Jeans (NYDJ), which described a patented criss cross feature that not only tucked in the tummy but lifted the rear as well. The ad boasted that women who bought these jeans found they could actually fit into a smaller size pant. The whole concept sounded intriguing, and on my next shopping trip to Dillard's, I asked the store clerk to point me in the direction of the Not Your Daughter jeans display.
The jeans were priced between $90 - $110 which rather took me by surprise. I don't mind paying good money for good clothing, but this price point was twice what I ordinarily paid for jeans. I grabbed my usual brand of denims, and on a whim, picked up a pair of NYDJs as well. The rest is history.
The minute I slipped on these jeans, my whole body profile changed. The baby belly vanished, the old tushie had regained a shape that I hadn't seen in several years, and I looked a good 20 pounds lighter. And even more amazingly, I could fit into a whole size smaller than my usual brand of jean. I bought 3 pair on the spot and didn't even waste my time trying on the cheaper jeans.
NYDJ jeans are fitted at the waist, and have extra large pockets that stretch across the tummy. In a rather clever design, the pocket liners themselves have a criss cross stitching, which is what tucks the tummy in and gives the body a fabulous shape. The rest of the jean is expertly sewn as well, with double stitching in a style that resembles "real blue jeans" and not those stretchable denim slacks that some of us have been forced to wear until now.
