I have long been a fan of the Miraclesuit — you know, the swimsuits that hold you in and nip and tuck and make you look 10 pounds skinnier? They are fabulous. They were always my go-to suits post-baby because they held in all that jiggly stuff we new moms love so much.
But until this weekend, I didn’t know that Miraclesuit also makes — wait for it…
No, I’m not kidding.
Last weekend I attended the BlogHer Conference, and one of the most fabulous events of the weekend was Audrey and Vera’s Getting Gorgeous affair (where I actually got to briefly meet Liz Lange, but I digress.) There were makeup stations, hair styling stations, jewelry stations, the list goes on and on…) and there was a Miraclejeans station.
Everyone at the party got to try on Miraclejeans and take a pair home. I chose the Skinny Minnnie Jeans.
At the time, it felt stressful and confusing and there wasn’t a mirror so I wasn’t sure how they really fit me, but when I got home I was pleased to discover that the jeans I chose fit me perfectly, AND they hold in all that post-baby belly flab that we ladies detest so much. Muffin top, BE GONE!
See? Proof!
They have a higher rise than most of my other jeans, and at first I wasn’t sure I’d like that, but it turns out that I love how they hold me in, and you really can’t tell that they have such a high rise when you wear your top untucked, which I always do. My only bit of constructive feedback would be to have more variety of washes to choose from. I like some whiskering and fading on my jeans, but I’m sure they’ll add more varieties over time.

About Jo-Lynne
I would love to try a pair of Miraclejeans as I have a terrible time finding jeans (I am petite, but with hips and curves). I have such a hard time finding jeans that fit that I had wear trousers and cords on vacation this spring because I couldn’t find any jeans at that fit.
I would love a pair because I haven’t purchased new jeans in two years. I can’t find any that fit and don’t want to spend on something that doesn’t look right. Yet the old jeans are getting really threadbare.
I’m a 40 year old mother of a 16 month old who is still wearing some of my old maternity jeans. Help!
I would love to try these! i have recently (Well in Jan) started losing weight i have lost about 93 pounds so far and i havent been able to find jeans i love since i no longer fit in my old favorite brand although exciting it is so frustrating trying to find a great jean!
One word on why? Muffintop. Two kids and too many chocolate brownie sundaes makes Mindy an unsightly gal! I’d love to try a pair of these and would REALLY love them before our family photos September 9th! I’ve been trying to figure out how to get rid of my bulge before inevitable poses that will make me look pregnant w/ my third like last year’s shoot did. Big secret – I’m not pregnant nor do I plan to be! Shhh!
I too have the horrible Muffintop. I’d love it if a pair of jeans could hold it all in for me & not be too painful!
I’d love to have a pair for my post baby body after I give birth in November.
I also am a follower of your blog
Always on the lookout for good looking, comfy jeans!
I would love to try them because I have had three kids and need something! HA! Love the skinny look!
I am also a subcriber.
I’ve been wanting to try some skinny jeans but haven’t been sure they would look right with my curves. But these jeans look like they would fit great!!! I would love to try this brand!
Ummm why would I like a pair??? Can you say MIRACLE; cause that’s what I’m needing!
I would love to give these a try. Skinny jeans have always made me nervous before, but these look perfect!
I’ve been skeptical about skinny jeans, but if I won, I’d LOVE to try the skinnie minnie jeans – cause what better way to go with skinny jeans than with ones that are ALSO going to make me look 10 pounds thinner? amazing!
I would LOVE to try these jeans. I love the Miraclesuit bathing suits!
I would love the Katie / Straight cut jeans. My roommates got the jeans and I was so jealous!
I’m also a fan on Facebook!
I don’t think I could pull off the skinny jeans, even if a miracle were involved, so I would choose the straight pair, I think. Glad you found something you like!
Just became a fan on Facebook.
Not sure how’d I pull off the skinny minnies, but I would love to try them!!
I love the Samantha Jeans .. the detailing on the pockets is so pretty! I wish I had the shape for skinny jeans but really can’t wear them.

I love the Samantha Boot Cut jeans!
and I’m a facebook fan!
I’ve never tried skinny jeans, but I see everyone else doing it. I might pick those, but I think I’d have to go with the standby boot cut. So, I would probably pick the Samantha Jeans.
Samantha boot cut jeans is my style.
I am psyched! Miracle jeans? Yay! I need one!
I am dying to try the Skinny Minnies!
I’m way too intimidated to try on skinny jeans (thanks to delivering 3 -10lb babies oh so long ago).
I think you look GREAT!!
would love a pair, so in need of jeans… i foloow on twitter:)
I would love to try the Skinny Minnie jeans

Ooh, I love the Samantha jeans (bootcut, Aquarius pocket)! They are the perfect cut and color! Wow, do people really spend $110 on jeans, though? Thanks for the opportunity to win a pair.
I am still and always will be a boot cut girl. But making me look skinny while wearing boot cut is awesome!
I would love to try these. I like all the boot cut styles.
I went to the site and ordered the Samantha boot cut jeans in Riverwash! Had to order them in two sizes smaller then I have been wearing for the last few years before I started WW! Yeehaw!
Awesome!!!! You looked AMAZING when I saw you this summer. You will love these jeans. I was going to tell Mom to order a pair too.
I love the look of the Samatha boot cut jeans. I have a hard time finding jeans so I would be inteterested in trying this brand out!
oh sign me up!! Me belly needs as much help as it can get.
I seriously need these, I have uh…a LOT that needs to be held in
I would like the Skinny Minnie jeans too because I have always gone with bootcut and need to try some skinny jeans.
okay 5 months post baby over here – i could sooo use this. i would choose the skinny minny that you have on, because they LOOK HOT!
thanks
also a fan on facebook!
OK, so, I have not bought any skinny jeans because once upon a time I WAS pretty skinny and I don’t need to see the difference after 3 kids in such stark comparison, thankyouverymuch. But I’d be willing to give the Skinny Minnie a go if it’s promising to hold in the muffintop.
And I now like you on FB. Hugs.
I love the dark wash on the skinny minnie jeans! Thanks for telling us about this. I, too, love my miraclesuit!
I like the Samantha, my son turned a year and July and I could use all the help I can get.
I would choose the Katie jeans
Ohhhh it’s a tie I love the Samantha and the Katie style! I need these!

Definitely boot cut (the samantha) pair are so cute! what a great idea!!

I’d love the Skinny Minnie Jeans in Ebony.
I LOVE the Skinny Minnies…I have been too scared to buy skinny jeans yet, but these would be great if they really hod in the flab! (Not sure if your contest is open for Canadians…)
Thx

If I got the chance to pick a pair, I would chose the straight leg “Katie Jeans”.

First you look great! I would love to try these jeans because I have been wanting to try a pair of skinny jeans for a while. But budget and not being close to a mall stops me from doing so. I hate shopping online for clothes because you can never tell if you will like it or not.
But back to your giveaway I would love to try the Samantha or Skinny Minnie.
Thanks for hosting the giveaway. How is your running going?
I like the straight-cut Katie jeans. If I win, I’ll have to wait until after my pregnancy to wear these. I imagine they would be a great postpartum pick-me-up.
I’m now a subscriber.
I like the Samantha jeans – classic pocket. I am a boot cut girl and I really like these!
I would go for the Katie (although I am tempted to try the skinny minnie, just because no skinny jeans have ever worked on me!)

I LOVE the Skinny Minnie! I have been holding out trying a pair because of that fabulous baby weight that never seems to go away…and these would solve that problem!
I love the Samantha boot cut with the aquarius pocket.
I love the skinny minnie

I love the Samantha with the classic pocket and the Katie straight legs. Cool looking jeans!
One extra entry for getting the emails.
And I think the reason those jeans look so good on you is because you have a cute figure. Let’s see what they do for my California redwood thighs.
I like the Katie and Samantha. So cute!

I would totally go for the Skinny Minnie style, in the dark blue wash. Cute!
Probably the Katie, but if the skinny ones would work for me, I’d love them. It’s hard to tell!
Subscriber!
Oh I love the straight cut, classic pocket..
I’d probably get either the skinny jeans to tuck into my boots or the boot cut. Cute!
I’m so glad to see they come in black!
I think I’d have to go with the Katie straight cut. (although those Skinny Minnies look great, too)
Also I’m a subscriber.

Samantha Boot-cut, aquarius pocket. I would love to try a skinny jean some time but I would need to lose more than 10 lbs. to do it!

katie jeans, straight cut, size 6 in lagoon…i am a die hard fan of the miracle suit, and have full confidence that their jeans would be just as miraculous!!!
i think you make a lovely model of the “skinny minnie” jeans. since i haven’t dared to try on a pair of those yet, maybe these would do the trick…
i subscribe through google reader…
Bootcut jeans are most flattering on me because they make
me appear to be in proportion even though I’m not! I’m totally smitten with the

I like the bootcut jeans. I would love to have these. I think that these might be the answer to my problems.
I would get the Skinny Minny jeans. Having had a baby 12 weeks ago, I could really use them…
I subscribe through Google Reader and I’m also a Facebook fan
Skinny Minny all the way!
I would have to choose the Samantha boot cut style. How awesome is this? I thoroughly enjoyed looking at the site. My question: how true to size are they? For example, does an 8 in an Old Navy or Gap jean translate to an 8 in Miraclebody Jeans?
Please give me a second entry for being a Chic Critique subscriber. Thanks for the giveaway.
I might try the Skinny Cropped. I agree about increasing the washes they offer.
Thanks for the answer to the question. Please count this as my second entry for subscribing to Chic Critique. Thanks.
I would try the Katie jeans – boy do I need these!
Boot cut, classic pocket, although I love the pocket with the bling on it and would choose that if the jeans made me look 50 pounds lighter!!!

I would love to try the Katie straight leg jean.

I’m scared to try skinny jeans (they DO look cute on you though!) so I’d have to go with the boot cut jeans.
I, too, hope that Miraclebody comes out w/ jeans with more washes, embellishments, etc. Also, ‘ve been wanting a really great flare or bell-bottom jean lately…
Oops. Typo. I meant, “I’ve been wanting…”
