Does anyone have any pictures of them in the cigarette pants or other items? I'm trying to figure out what the fit considerations are for the size XL and up. I know the new ones are stretchier, so how are they on? 

Thanks!

I totally agree. I'm borderline plus sized- 16/18 ish, and when I go to conventional stores (most at least) I feel like anything in the plus sizes are what i refer to as "sails" -colorful and pretty, but pretty much big pieces of fabric with holes cut for arms. This can look awesome on some ladies, but the awesome fitted waist I find on vintage inspired clothes is SO much more flattering for me. And now I'm thinking of buying a pair of cigarette pants, because after those photos, I know I could pull them off..

I own 2 pairs of the black trouser pants, 1 of the red, and 1 of the blue. I don't currently have photos but just like I stated in another post about the BL shorts applies for the BL pants. They have an empire cut to suck in your tummy and the back zipper lifts your booty. 

Can anyone tell me if the cig pants in twill stretch much. Also, do they loosen over a day of wear and do they shrink much after a wash? I bought the black twill ones and they're a bit snug in the waist but perfect everywhere else. If they stay as they are or loosen a tad I'd keep em, but if they shrink much, I'm afraid ill have to return em. Thanks
Miss Vivian,
I think you are good. I've had my black twill DD pants for a year. They've held up really nicely. I was at the top of the XL range and have gradually healthfully slimming down in that time. I'm between sizes now...I can squeeze into a L, but I'm not happy for long- just for size perspective. My XL still go on fitted but after a full day of wear and sitting/ standing I have a little over an inch of room! I just bought two LB pair of pants in XL have a little extra room (because of the back gathers) but I prefer a looser fit.

Overall for fuller figured gals the LB black lable high waisted pants are a more flattering fit... in my opinion. I have the plaid taffeta and the royal blue. I feel sexy classy and I don't feel like my tummy or backside needs constant checking or taming! Besides if you don't want to belt your Dd pants the right top is necessary to finish the bottom off( to tuck or not to tuck... that is the question!)

Good luck! Enjoy! I can post pictures if anyone wants to seebub fit in xl for both
pants!
