Customer Reviews Levi's® Plus Plus Size 512™ Perfectly Shaping Straight Leg

I love the way these jeans look but for some reason this color runs smaller/tighter than the same style Levi's in the lighter blue which means I can't rely on my sizing experience. That said, I think they are nice looking jeans but I cannot fit into the pair I got since they fit too tight.

Well being 5 feet tall and a size 16/18 with an hourglass shape, it's hard to find jeans that fit and look great..these are pretty good, my only issue was they were too long as usual..they will need hemmed, but are comfortable and the waist does NOT gap. :) I also recommend the Levi 525 straight leg in size 16 short..they fit like a glove and also do not gap at the waist...if I could find the 512 in an 18 short they may be the perfect jean for me, alas the search continues.

My go to everyday jean. I love the dark wash and slimmer fit that's not too tight. These are cut a little smaller than most plus size brands and the rise is a little low so beware if you have a long inseam. They do stretch out after a day of wear but hold up better than other brands I've had.

These jeans are a plus any fluffy woman's wardrobe. They appear to slenderize and elongate a bit. The darker wash is complimentary to the fluffy figured. I did not give them all fives because they take a little work getting into and sit a "smidge" low for the front. But once on you will be so glad that you did it! I Recommend getting your size or maybe even a size up as Levi's were not originated for fluff. Bottom line, they make some effort for us. For that, I am grateful. You will not go wrong with these. Go ahead and give them a try.

I needed a new pair of jeans and I really wanted a pair of Levi's. I haven't had a pair in years and these seemed to be what I needed at a good price. The hips and thighs fit great, but the waist is not properly sized. If you're thick in the middle, size up. I'm a size 18 pretty universally and this is the first 18 I've ever bought that is tight in the waist. A 20 might have fit better in the waist but been too loose in the hips and thighs. I supposed what I'm interpreting as too tight is just their "Higher waist with a specially cut, slimming tummy panel that shapes and smooths your curves", but it's just a recipe for unsightly muffin-top. I wanted a dark wash without 'faded' or 'whiskered' details, but this style does have manufaturer 'fading' on the thighs and seat, which is not described or apparent in the product images. It also has gaudy gold thread in the rear pocket detail. At a size 18, my ass is big enough without calling attention to it.

They run small. I am not returning them because they feel like great jeans and I have been loosing weight hoping that they will fit better, but if you are used to plus size store sizes (Avenue and/or Lane Bryant) like I am these run small. I would need a size or two larger to fit the same. I gave them three stars because I cannot really review them until I can wear them.

I got these in petites regular, fabric thin, I went one size up not to make a return, i wear a 8 petite, I ordered a 10 petite, and to tight. I needed a 12 petite in these, so of you don't like them skin tight to were they are pulling on your private parts, think about going up two sizes, would any one agree?

I usually wear a regular size 18, sometimes a 16, and in plus sizes, a 16W is sometimes too big for me. I was surprised that an 18W in this jean wouldn't fit -- most of the time, 18W pants are too big. These jeans were incredibly tight and uncomfortable, and I sent them back. I've found over the past few years that Levi's sizing is very inconsistent and their quality is going downhill.
