Quite by accident too :) I was in a hurry and grabbed the wrong pair. I thought I must be retaining some serious water or gained weight since yesterday because these size 16's were snug!! But then I looked and they were the 14's!! I couldn't even zip these things before, not even while laying down on the bed and praying LOL!!! I can't wait to report that they are loose, trust me I really can't wait to report that :) These are snug, but I can breathe and I'm leaving these bad boys on!!!
