Jeans, they are a mom’s uniform. We dress them up. We dress them down. We wear them to work. They are de rigeur errand running garb.

But, while much of the designer denim is stylish, it is actually not designed to flatter women with lumps, bumps and other hard-earned badges of parenthood.  A few brands stand out in the jean pool. They have harnessed cutting-edge technology to  shape, lift and compress your body into nothing short of a denim dream.
