Tummy Tuck Jeans – "For Real Women with Real Curves"
Beauty Cred on Feb 7, 2007
Tummy Tuck jeans make quite a hefty promise: to flatten your tummy, lift your butt, and make you wear one size smaller.
Rachael Ray and Diane Sawyer are among the celebrities who rave about these jeans, which boast " a secret 'crisscross' front panel design and extra stretch in the rear." The jeans also have double the Lycra content of standard jeans, 4% as opposed to 2%.
The founder of Tummy Tuck Jeans is a woman named Lisa Rudes-Sandel, the first Latina woman to create her own line of denim. Of her inspiration, Rudes-Sandel offers, "Nobody was making jeans for (average sized) women. I am in pretty good shape and I couldn't wear anything out there. Everything was very young. They were either made small or were running small or they were shapeless. I didn't want to show my underwear every time I bent over."
Check out the Tummy Tuck jeans online showroom for a wide range of styles and colors offered.

It's an interesting idea. The origin of the corset is lost in remote antiquity.Uplifting brassieres and corsets were used at times to emphasize the feminine shape and flatten the tummy.I think tummy tuck jeans are an option for every women who cares about her body shape and you can have great results using them.Thanks for the tip!

Yes, I own a pair and they did as they promised until after 2 washes. Now the 'tummy tuck' panel is too relaxed and the jeans stretched out too much to hold any of my flesh in place. They're still quite attractive, but does anyone know how to restore the stiffness in the 'tummy tuck' panel?

I am a size 8, I had to buy a size 12 in the black tux with rhinestone jeans. I love them, they fit well, but, somewhat expensive. I would buy more if the price was lower. I have never had to size up 2 sizes before.

Love my jeans I have 4 pairs of them. 2 are denim and 2 are black jeweled. They are without a doubt the best fitting pairs of jeans I've ever owned.I will buy more.

i love my NYDJ's too, I own 5 pair now, but at $115 (roughly) per pair, I'm disappointed that they stretch so much and the cuffs don't stay flat. I have to iron the bottoms every time I wash them. Plus some of mine have gotten so short that I can't wear them anymore. (Or maybe I've gotten rounder... haha)
