I just bought two pairs of jeans from Asos Curve, as they were on sale. So I decided to review them and compare them to other jeans which I bought from other brands.
So when it comes to size when comparing the same size to New Look Inspire Range and Yours clothing, Asos has a smaller waist, however, according to the size charts they are wider at the hips. So I decided to go a size up in order to be safe since the waist is smaller.
Now the black jeans (1) it didn't fit properly around the waist even though I usually wear jeans with slightly smaller waist. However, the usual jeans I wear always have a slight elasticated fabric, and this pair didn't have any stretch to them. So be sure if you intend to buy these, go a size up as they are slightly small.
The second pair (2), as the description says it is stretchy. The fabric is thinner than the other pair, and very comfortable and they are what they description says they are. Around the waist they fitted well and also made my legs look slightly thinner.
Both jeans have the same length. I am about above average in height and they were both still very long and so if you are going to buy these, be sure to either wear heels or if you are going to wear flats then roll the bottom cuffs.
So in conclusion; read the description carefully and be sure to check their size chart as compared to other brands when it comes to pants they seem to fit smaller; so if you are going to be a non-stretchy fit pant go for a size larger, if you are going to buy a stretchy fit pant then go for your usual size as they fit perfectly.
My tip for Asos Curve, add different leg length options like New Look Inspire and Yours have as not every plus size girl is the height of an Amazon Warrior. Also after closely examining their catalog when it comes to jeans the majority are skinny legged which in my opinion if one has huge hips/thighs they shouldn't wear them as they look awful on such body type and don't help to enhance one's figure at all, unlike flare and bootcut jeans/pants. Also the jeans in the catalog which aren't skinny legged, the majority aren't of a stretchy fit, in fact there are barely more than two in the whole catalog; which is a pity as at Yours and New Look such jeans sell within two months so it is clear that these sell well among the plus size community. So when it comes to the jeans department Asos Curve still needs some slight improvement in order to compete better with other plus size clothes manufacturers; although they still do have the advantage that they are the most fashion forward and don't provide plus size grandma clothes like other companies.
Hope you enjoyed this review and feel free to add your thoughts when it comes to your jean purchases.
