I like that these jeans fit well without a lot of stretch. I also like that they hug my body without being painted on. They sit higher on my waist so do not slide, and I am not constantly pulling them up. They have the rougher feel of "real" denim without being uncomfortable. I am 5'4" 117 lbs and ordered a 26 which is what the size guide suggested. I have shorter legs, so they fit right at the ankle when normally I would have to hem them. So if you are taller, keep that in mind. I bought the ... black first then went back and bought the rinse. They shrank ever so slightly when washed but not enough to affect the fit.
Love this jean!! When they had a sale, I decided to buy 2, sizes 27 and 28, for different fits/ moods/days, medium wash so I can wear in summer without getting too hot. My waist is right around 27+/-, hips 37.5. The fabric is very soft. I'm 5'4", so it fits longer than on the model (at bottom of ankle), but that's what I wanted. Fitted without being painted on, the behind seems to get a subtle 'lift', and what I love is that the waist is more tailored, so the pants don't slide down on your hips ... after wearing a while - they so have stretch, so that naturally occurs.Washes well on hand wash cycle, inside out, then dry extra low.You do need 2 washes or soaks with oxyclean or similar since they do have a strong smell, probably from the dye process.
These are the most flattering white jeans I have ever owned. I bought these because I bought the Nora crop jeans and I love them. The waist comes to a perfect place so that the jean is sliming, the denim is a good quality so you don't see any dimples through the fabric (as has happened with thinner, lower quality denim), and best of all, no muffin top!!! Definitely order a size down, these do run big. I'm 5'8, about 160lbs and curvy. I usually wear a size 10, I bought an 8.
I wore the pull-on jeans this past weekend and I am very happy with them. I ordered down a size as mentioned by other reviews. (from 4 to a 2, 5'7", 122 lbs.) They fit perfectly and feel great. What I like is that they don't require a belt and there is no buldge where the waistband metal button would be on other jeans so that I can wear fitted tops. I was worried they would be too short but the length was perfect also. I have not washed them yet but as with all my jeans, I plan to air dry vs ... placing in a dryer.
