Elance French Cut is cut larger than the Classic French Cut but same quality!
Reviewed in the United States on June 9, 2015
I like the looks and the quality of the garment (have been buying the Jockey French Cut undergarments for 20 years!), but this particular cut (the ELANCE French Cut) is cut roomier than the CLASSIC French Cut which is cut more fitted.I also think the CLASSIC French Cut is more flattering because there is less material on the side of the garment, so it makes the upper thigh appear longer; and on the CLASSIC French cut, the elastic band around your tummy lays flat and is uncovered. By contrast, the ELANCE 's elastic around the tummy is a little smaller and is covered by fabric so it's looks more uniform.Both the CLASSIC and the ELANCE are very similar in looks, but I would say if you have a more generous bottom, get the Elance, and if you have more of a boyish bottom, get the Classic cut.For my particular body, this garment is a 4 star garment, while the CLASSIC French Cut is a 5-star garment.WORTH NOTING: Jockey's customer service is absolutely *** stellar *** and I wholeheartedly recommend them. Yes, the quality of the garment has changed a little bit over the years (same as everybody else) but if you are looking for an all cotton, comfortable, durable garment for active wear, or just to be comfortable in all day, look no further.
I love my Elance French Cut underwear and here are a few tips about shopping for underwear on Amazon.

Finally I found a style and fabric of underwear that is exactly perfect. That is Jockey Women's Underwear Elance French cut. The waist and leg bands are covered in cotton which is so soft and nice. It feels good to have underwear that works for me. Saying this, I want to give a bit of advise about shopping for clothes such as this on Amazon. It might take a few orders that do not fit or work for you to find the perfect fit for you. Amazon has a good return policy regarding this, so take the time to test a few brands that you think might work for you. For example, I ordered from other companies and could not get a good fit and made with 100% with the cotton fabric that my doctor recommended I use. I then ordered classic briefs from Jockey in my size and these did not fit at all. I set them all back for credit and decided to try the Elance high cut. Perfect. I now have exactly the underwear that feels soft and comfortable. Driving around from one place to another shopping takes time as well. Read the return policy, and if you find the policy flexible like I did try to find a brand and style that works for you.
Disappointed

I have bought Jockey for decades and I've seen the decline in quality over the past years. I've loved them up to my last couple orders. I see it's about profit for the company and not quality and comfort of the product for the customer. I will gladly pay more for a brand that gives the customer what they are paying for.
Disappointed. Inconsistent quality and sizing.

These run big. I have bought several packs of these panties and usually I absolutely love them. Although the most recent purchase last week, I got the same size as the ones I bought in November, but they were quite larger. Also the material was very thin. They are still very soft and comfortable but they are not the same quality they were last time. I am very disappointed. After a few hours they were way too baggy. I have never had that problem in the past. They are still 100% cotton and that is extremely rare these days. So I guess I will just have to go down a size and just deal with the thinner material.In the attached photo:The black are the ones I bought in November and the white/dot is the one is I got last week. As you can see in the last photo, they are both the same size.
These are super sized. See my photo I uploaded

These are really big. I mean really sized large. I normally wear a 9 or 10 depending on the brand. I have other jockey items in a 10 so I thought i was safe. These are super sized. See my photo I uploaded. The white pair are elance panties I previously ordered in a 10, the black is from this listing. The legs and everything are at least 3 sizes larger. They say 10 on them but I'm feeling like this may be mis-sized or packaged wrong because they are that much bigger.
Get These!!

I love this brand of underwear. I don't wear anything else. #1 - I love that the elastic is covered both around the waist and around the legs. I live in Florida and during the summer the heat and humidity are brutal. There's nothing more uncomfortable than raw elastic bands around your legs and irritating all day long. #2 - These are ALL cotton! I refuse to wear anything but cotton, especially in the summer. #3 - Complete coverage. These really do *cover the rear* and there is no slipping, sliding or tugging to keep them in place. Once they're on, you don't even think about them, they're THAT comfortable! #4 - They wash and dry beautifully! #5 - Durability is outstanding. These aren't so flimsy that you're going to have to replace them in 2 or 3 months. They are good, quality cotton and they retain their softness, wear after wear, wash after wash. #6 - A variety of colors - I love that these come in other colors besides the ordinary black, white or nude. And the quality is consistent from color to color. All in all, these are an outstanding everyday panty, especially if you live in hot climates and prefer cotton undergarments.
... and the package of black I bought fit just fine and are the same size

The package of white and the package of black I bought fit just fine and are the same size. But this package of the cream, pink, and beige are too small. They are not the same size. Terrible quality control.
These are NOT the same quality as what Iâve purchased in the past.

I am very disappointed. I LOVE this underwear and have not been able to find it in stores for about 7 years. I had also bought a pack of white. When the arrived, I opened them, put them in my laundry basket and a week or so later I washed them. Imagine my surprise today when I finally wore the pink pair to discover the crotch was not sewn on one side so they are not wearable. I feel at a little over $7.00 per PAIR this is totally unacceptable. Jockey is known for their good quality. I no longer have the package but I do know it said Jockey and the tag says Jockey âMade in Indiaâ? Please inspect carefully if you purchase. I still have some old ones I purchased in 2010 and still wear. Thatâs 8 years. I will be lucky if these other pairs I purchased last 8 months.

Jockeys in good shape, colors shown, but nowhere near the size advertised I double checked, and saw they are continued to claim "plus" size when sent Size 5.

Jockey is my favourite brand for undergarments - it is regretable that they are so expensive to buy from Australia!
