More than 10 years ago, Limoges began designing women’s pants with the purpose of creating a perfect fit for women of all body types.
“I believe today we have created a line that not only works for the mature woman, but one that fits women of all ages and all lifestyles,” she says.
Lisette L pants are known to flatter women of every body type, shape and size. They are designed with a tummy control mesh on the inside and come in a variety of colors and patterns.
