Customer Reviews NYDJ Petite Petite Marilyn Straight Leg Classic Overdye

For context for my size comments, I am 5'4", 107 pounds and typically wear size 2 or 4 in other manufacturers, 2 needed for hips, 4 for waist. In NYDJ I typically wear a 2. But this Marilyn style in the overdye fabric (black) was not a good fit for me. Just a little higher waisted than my other four pair of NYDJ jeans and pants. Just a very little bit larger in the thighs. Great quality fabric though and color. Also, the left leg of the pair I ordered, and returned for fit, also seemed a little "wonky" at the front thigh as though the fabric had been cut a bit on the bias...which with a stretchy fabric like this would create the "wonk" for sure. Thanks to Zappos for making the order and return so easy. I just ordered a different style and color of NYDJ jean via Zappos to replace these.

Great looking pants; flattering fit. Then there's the quality of the fabric: I don't know if this is my imagination, but black pants always seem scratchy compared to any other jeans material. These are a a bit scratchy. However, they're so great fitting that I'll just hope they soften up with wear. If they had not been scratchy, I would have given them 5 stars in all categories.

These felt great the first time I put them on, but they started to sag after one wearing. I did go one size down, as the manufacturer suggests - perhaps I could have gone two sizes down? I think they just have too much stretch for me. I do not like to wash my jeans after every single wearing. That being said, I wish that I could exchange them for the next size down, but I did wash them. The color is great. I love that they are solid black with no fading or whiskering.

These just arrived. I've lost a little weight recently so, per instructions, "I went down a size". I'm now going to have to return them and go back up. They barely button. They are too short in the crotch. I don't get this, "you're a size smaller" when it has never worked for me, especially in petites. BTW, at 4' 11' I am a real petite and I always have to shorten NYDJ pants. Also, you used to have a wide selection of cotton/lycra jeans. Now I can barely find them. Everything has polyester in it and polyester makes me itch. BIG DISAPPOINTMENT.
