SGparks - 24 hours ago, Verified purchaser
I got these in the medium wash in my normal size. They were VERY snug but after wearing for a bit fit perfectly. I love that they hold me in and don’t have much stretch to them. They are super comfortable. I am a size 16 and have a larger booty and have a hard time with target jeans. These were a win for me!

(*I received these in the mail with security tag left on, annoying*) I love the fit the these. However I wish they were available in a longer length. I followed reviews and sized up one however the denim does have some stretch so I would recommend going with your normal size. I’m 5’9” and 160lbs, wearing a size 12 however I may return for a 10, they hit right above my ankle.

Lolo - 4 days ago, Verified purchaser
I really like how these fit. Have them in two different shades. My only complaint is with this specific color the bottom is unfinished. I did see they were unfinished before I purchased but I didn’t realize how sloppy of a look it would give. Idk it’s hard to find a show that looks good with it. I think once I can wear sandles again it’ll be fine but it looks a bit goofy with almost every show I’ve tried.

Rochelle - 5 days ago, Verified purchaser
I agree with everyone else, they run extremely small. Im always a 2 in target jeans and I had to size up to a 6 ( they’re still slightly tight in the waist, but not uncomfortable). I originally got a long, because I’m 5’8. However, I wish I got the regular because it’s not quite an ankle jean and not quite long enough. Long story short, they’re just ok, I say save your money.

Perfect everyday jeans!!

Jennifer - 5 days ago, Verified purchaser
Loved the potential of these jeans. I’m 5’3 125-130 lbs and the size 2 fit me like a glove!! Hit me right at my ankles, and loved the straight fit. Hope they can remake them into a better quality material. Mine had a hole by the back pocket after a couple of washes. :( I’ve had jeans from universal thread that have lasted me years. Not sure where the quality went with the brand or just the ones I got?? Will repurchase to see if it was just the ones I received.

Sydney - 6 days ago, Verified purchaser
These jeans are cute but run way small. I'm usually a 4 short in jeans but ordered a 6 short in these because I was told to go up a size. When I tried them on, I couldn't even button them all the way up. The length was great but I'll definitely have to go to an 8 if I want these to work.

Purchased the medium wash and looks nice like a more expensive brand. I’m 5’3”, 137lbs and got size 8R. I normally buy the short length bc of my height but i was surprised it wasn’t too long - it ended maybe 1” from the heel. The waist is a little snug but i am 5wks postpartum and the jeans do have some stretch.

Had an old clearance tag

Spring13 - 17 days ago, Verified purchaser
I ordered two pairs of the same size in different colors- this pair fit totally different than the other, had a different deception on the tag (different wording) and had the remnants of a clearance sticker on it (you could see the yellow sticker pieces still on the edges). This was annoying because I paid full price for them. The other pair fit well but these were not right.

Love these jeans! They are high waisted jeans so they fit really true to size maybe even size down if you are not sure bc they have a button fly too (vs zipper there is no give at all) but they look so flattering on! I’m 5’2 and the length was ok finally on a pair of stock jeans, I purchased size 2 and I wear size 2 in Express jeans so that’s typical but I can fit in 0-2 in other Target jeans.

These look so flattering, but after one wear they began to rip in the seam of the butt. Horrible quality. I only noticed the back of the jeans after I questioned the fraying at the seam of the front crotch area. I’ve never had this happen before, but I’ll be returning these.

Cute Butt

Powers - 25 days ago, Verified purchaser
These made my butt look cute! It’s tight in the butt but loose foam from cheek to leg. Which is the exact fit I look for for these kids new style of loose jeans. I’m 5’0” and weigh 120 lbs. I wore size 6 because I don’t like things super tight. They are long so I have to hem them myself. At 5 foot nothing I’ve learned to do this myself. I highly recommend these for those with a butt and thin ish legs. They’ll flatter your shape. I am not a stick figure anymore after kids but I am still thin. It’s hard to find jeans that don’t look overly baggy and therefore, make me look ultra skinny.
