Democracy "Ab"solution review

Democracy built its "Ab"solution line around tummy control. On its "Ab"solution page the brand lists slimming power mesh panels for tummy control, a hidden elastic waistband for a no-gap waist, premium stretch denim and placed pockets, and its company history describes the same mix of slimming panels and mesh. The High Rise Out There Flare we checked has a rise of about 10 inches, a 32 inch inseam and a 22 inch flare, in 63% cotton, 23% polyester, 11% viscose and 3% LYCRA spandex, and Democracy says it fits true to size. The size chart covers missy 0 to 18, petite 0P to 18P and plus 14W to 24W, and the line also comes in mid rise and a taller Skyrise. That range, plus the elastic waistband, makes it a good match for a fuller lower tummy. We could not confirm a USD price because Democracy's store showed Polish zloty from our location. We compared documented features and published prices and did not try the jeans on.
