NYDJWomen's Marilyn Straight Denim Jean

Wow. I just looked and the price went up to $129. I paid $78 and I thought that was high. But just keep an eye on them, the price fluctuates a lot.I really want to help people decide whether to get these jeans or not. I pore over the reviews first, and at this price, as much info as possible helps. :)Here goes... I'm 5'7" about 135 lbs. with a long torso and a thick waist. I literally have no bum, thanks to a recent surgery, so I pretty much live in leggings with long shirts. I used to live in jeans (Calvin Klein-always fit perfect) and now the material just hangs there. Bummer! Anyway, a friend told me to try NYDJ as everyone she knows loves them. I decided on the Marilyn, because I like a straight leg. I chose the Lombard shade, because I like a medium shade of blue that has a grayish, acid-washed tint. This shade also has whiskering. I have to say, I LOVE this shade! I ordered a size 8 after reading the company's advice and most of the reviews. They are right. DEFINITELY go down a size from your normal one. I usually wear an 8 or 10. I thought about going down to a 6, and if I wanted them tight and form-fitting, I probably could have, but I like my clothes loose-fitting. That being said, the 8 was a little more loose than I like. I almost needed a belt, which with my thick waist, I almost never do. The fabric is a thicker, heavier jean material than I like. They also are kind of stiff. They probably would get softer with washing and wear. I don't think they would shrink, even putting them in the dryer, due to the stretch of the material. The length was just a tad long, probably a 32", but I was barefoot. They probably would be fine with a small heel. I have to admit I really liked them. They checked off all the boxes.EXCEPT... remember my lack of bum to fill it out. I SO wanted them to work. But realistically, at that price, I just couldn't keep them. I'm probably stuck with leggings and long shirts for the rest of my life.SO... if you can get past the price, I think most women would love these. The fit is flattering to most figures. They're casual, yet you could easily add a nice blouse and heels or boots, to dress them up. Don't forget these are straight-leg, not skinny or bootcut. There are a lot of shades/washes to choose from. AND DEFINITELY SIZE DOWN!I hope this review can help you make up your mind. Cheers!

They fit great and they feel very comfortable. They were a little bit long so I had to hem them. Otherwise, I love them.

I am 5’6 and weigh about 175. Curvy in the hips. I’m usually a size 12 but I went with other people’s suggestions and ordered a size 10. I’m glad I did. They fit well and not tight or short. They’re nice jeans, good quality but I feel it lacks any of the body shaping.

NYDJ is a brand you won’t be disappointed. I was introduced to NYDJ from a salesperson at Lord and Taylor’s 25 years ago and I haven’t looked back. They keep with the times and so do I: wide leg, straight, skinny, bootcut, etc.. They fit nice and you will look good in them. It’s worth the price.

I love NYDJ jeans and have worn them for years. They're super comfortable, shape flattering, and hold up very well. I was ready for a new pair and ordered these without a second thought. When they arrived I tried them on right away, they fit perfectly and I put them away. I finally decided to wear them yesterday and when I put them on, once again I was very pleased with the fit. However, for the first time I put my hands in my front pockets. Or, at least I tried to put my hands in my front pockets. They are so tiny that a tube of lipstick would not fit in there. What the heck were they thinking when they designed this particular style? I should add these are regular full length jeans, nothing fancy, not capris or leggings, etc. Unfortunately for me, I was so used to getting these jeans and loving them I never thought to try the pockets. By the time I decided to actually wear them I missed my return window by about two weeks (my last day to return them was March 14). So now I am stuck with jeans that I can't even stuff a tissue into the front pocket. I'm sure I'll persevere and there are certainly worse things that could happen to a person, but it's just another annoyance to put up with when you expect better.

Really size down!!! I wear a 14. I ordered a 12 without believing they would fit...and they do! And they look really good on me! For reference, I am 5'9, 200lbs. I love these jeans!

This is not a NYDJ product and is a scam. I have bought at least 20 pairs of NYDJ jeans over the past 10 years, most in the Marilyn Straight cut jean style (size 8 in this style is a perfect fit for me), all are great quality, and all have between 2-4 labels/tags sewn into them. Normally, I buy them direct from the NYDJ website or department/clothing stores. I wanted to get a new pair for an upcoming trip and since Prime shipping would get to me quickly - and they were a good deal (probably should have been a clue), I decided to order these. It was a mistake. The jeans I received have none of the NYDJ labels/tags, are extremely poor-quality, and are very short/poor fitting --- having a lot of experience with this brand and style, what I received is absolutely not a pair of NYDJ jeans.
