I recently purchased the Sherri Skinny Jean and loved them. I'm 5'2" and the Sherri was just short enough that I could avoid hemming or rolling the length. It was a little larger in the waist than I expected, so I assumed it was due to the stretchiness of the fabric and purchased a size smaller when I ordered these Marilyn jeans.The color is great, the Marilyn jean is well made, and the fabric is soft with the right amount of stretch. However, these jeans are several inches longer than the Sherri's so I've had to roll them up. Despite ordering a size smaller than the Marilyns, they are still too large in the waist.I don't know if it is a design or a quality issue, but I'm not sure why sizing and length would vary between models? There's nothing in the description on the Amazon site to indicate it. One star off since the length is inconsistent between models and the description doesn't describe those differences,If you are tall and want to order these comfortable pants, definitely drop at least 2 sizes down from your normal size. The waist runs much bigger than expected, even when considering these are marketed as "Mom jeans".These jeans are very attractive. I knew the fit would be superb because I buy NYDJ "Marilyn" style, exclusively. I love these jeans and they fit me perfectly. Since discovering this brand and style, I wouldn't buy anything else. I hope these jeans are made forever!This pair is a little different than the usual "Marilyn" style. First, the fabric is much lighter weight. They are more appropriate for Spring/Summer, than Fall/Winter, unless you live in the southern or western US. I live in Canada and these jeans are not heavy enough for Fall/Winter wear here. Secondly, the back pockets are embellished with a series of crystals, in a band about one inch wide. NYDJ has supplied a few extra crystals for repair, so clearly they are anticipating some loss of bling, likely during the laundering process. I'm pleased about getting a few extra to replace those that may become lost or damaged, but some instructions as to their application would have been helpful. A few laundering tips to minimize their loss would also have been helpful.These jeans are made in the USA, which is great. Not all of NYDJ are, if you read the tag inside the garment. These REALLY are "Made in America"!These pants do fit great, as the other reviews state. My only issue with them is that they are way too long. So be aware that these pants are great for long legs, but not short legs unless you're going to hem them. I can usually get away with regular lengths only being a bit too long, but these are really too long for me. They are comfortable and the back pocket detail of black beads is cute (not stitching as the description suggests). Just be prepared to hem. I wish they sold pants on short lengths.Fit better than expected. I usually have a problem with jeans because the waist is too big. This one was less of an issue. However, I do wish that the waistband in the front would be lower as I felt it was much higher than my waistline. The back was fine. But the front of waistband I could bend once to bring it to same level same level as the back.Down to 3 stars - was 5 until this year. Wonder if NYDJ has a different manufacturer or maybe it's just that my body shape has changed. I've been wearing & living NYDJ jeans & slacks now for years. I'm up to 20W, which is now too small, but 22W too big and 24 W way too big. Long story short - order NYDJ pants one size smaller than usual, as a general rule. However, I'm finding out that past a certain point, better lose weight and exercise to tone up - or try to find a brand that fits your body shape - one size or one brand never fits all.They seem really nice, and fit quite well. I will be very pleased as long as they don't stretch out to much or shrink up to much. I'm kinda on the tall side so length really matters to me. So I guess we'll wait and see. I live in Texas so long pants don't come out until the end of October, November, or December; in this state we have nine months of summer.The pants fit fine when you first put them on, however they grew as the day went on. I would buy again just in one size smaller.Pants are good quality and material was heavier than expected. The trousers fit perfectly and were a great value. They are excellent work pants for my technically orientated job site. They are pretty utilitarian and not recommended if you need pants that are dressier.They are very comfortable and they fit great. They are very well made and the denim looks and feels very nice. Just the right amount of stretch. I am very happy with my purchase.
