Not quite as stretchy as the blue Lipsy jeans but they hold me in better. Would definitely recommend as they look and feel lovely on. Sizing wise, I have a 6 petite in Next flared jeans which are just right and perfect length but Lipsy come up a bit smaller so I bought size 8 petite, fit really well but they are too long in the leg so need to cut about an inch off which easy enough to do. Very happy with them.
