Egg Jeans

I was posting my rant in the Dec mums2b thread, but thought I'd see what other's experiences were.

I bought some Egg Jeans last week and the lady said that although I was between sizes, if the smaller size felt more comfortable, I should go with those as they would give (the smaller size is QUITE firm, but the bigger size was quite loose).

Well the elastic inside the black casing keeps folding over and I can't seem to fix it no matter what I do. I rang the lady at the shop who said they'd never had any comments about them, but it's really irked me. They were fine in the shop but they haven't stretched yet (despite my efforts ) and every time I move (ie. bend down, get up) the elastic just folds in half. Either she told me to get a size that was obviously too small for me (although they would fit fine if the elastic didn't fold) or they're faulty.

Has anyone else had problems with Egg Jeans doing this? I got them after a friend recommended them but I don't think she had this particular style (I think they're the boyfriend jeans?)

Need some ammo of other people's experiences so I can take them back to the shop and complain next week. I just find it really annoying because I can't afford another pair and I doubt they'll refund me seeing as I've worn them a few times.

No its not buttonhole and yep I had the same problem!
It drove me crazy when my tummy was smaller but when I popped out properly I actually found it more comfortable to wear the elastic folded down under my bump anyway.
It did give as I grew as well.
If you're not happy though, I'd go back and get store credit or a refund if you can. You bought them to wear now, on the advice of one of their assistants and they're not doing what she said they would. I think you've got a fair complaint chick, good luck!

Heres my comments from the Dec thread too Emz, although you've probably already read them!

I find that I cannot wear them for very long as the waist band digs into my tummy and pushes the baby up so high that my ribs hurt so much and I end up really uncomfy. I am quite disappointed actually as I love my Egg jeans, but they just don't work for me now Hopefully I will get some wear out of them after the baby, cause they cost me a fortune!!

Interesting to see a lot of people have the same problem! I think I'm just going to have to be brave and ask for a store credit and try on another pair, I feel bad cos I only tried on that pair, but they were comfy enough until I actually wore them and bent down etc and couldn't fix the elastic.

I'll let you know how I go once I finally get the courage to go and talk to them about it!

I bought a pair of the cargo pants and have the same problem with the elastic folding inside the black band. Perhaps not good design or maybe they can sew the elastic into the top of the pants?? It does get quite uncomfortable and a little embarrassing when trying to readjust the elastic in public.
Did you get into the shop to see what they can do about it?

Oh, I just emailed them to ask if its worth coming in to ask for an exchange/refund/store credit, and sort of bagged the product.
