Q: Sizing. Is there any stretch to these ?

submitted by Tmm - 6 months ago
  • A: I ordered these in white and medium wash both in size 8. They were 2 completely different sizes just by looking at them. People weren’t joking when they said size up. Im usually a size 6 in general. The white fit me in 8 and the medium wash were way too tight… I would need to try a 10, if not a 12. (Both have button fly closure) Hope this helps.

    submitted byXpertsGirl - 1 month ago
  • A: Size up. I'm a size 4 and I sized up to an 8. I thought I bought a kids size at first.

"LONG" isn't long enough

3 out of 5 stars
Thumbs up graphic, would recommend
Jo - 13 days ago, Verified purchaser
These looked cute and were on sale and came in long, which can be hard to find, so I jumped on it. I ordered up, as suggested by reviews, and they fit well other than length. I was surprised that they barely hit my ankle and had to go look at the product specifications. I clearly should have done that before ordering, because their version of "long" is only a 31 inch inseam. If you need a 32, like me, and like most "long" jeans actually are, don't buy these. Otherwise, they are cute and well cut. For reference, I am 5'8" and 118 lbs, usually a 0/25 long, got these in a 2 long.

rachel - 13 days ago
Was looking for a pair of straight-ish jeans that weren't too baggy – these are perfect. I do think it's strange these are labelled as mid-rise. I typically need the highest of high rises to get jeans to fit at my natural waist, but somehow these worked perfectly. I would prefer a zipper but these jeans fit well enough that I don't mind the buttons.

I haven’t had much luck with Universal Thread jeans but, these worked! I took the advice to size up and the fit, there is just enough stretch for comfort and short girl friendly! I just wish they had all color options available non-distressed for work!

I googled cropped jeans and these came up. Based on the pictures alone these jeans look cropped or at least above the ankle. Fortunately I was already placing a target and bought them. Unfortunately when I got them they weren't cropped as expected. These are regular skinny jeans. Avoid these if you're looking for cropped pants for the warm weather.

Really cute if you can get the sizing right, I'm usually an 8 in jeans and a 10 was a bit tight. Didn't want to go up to a 12 as I a worried that might be too big, try on in store if you can but plan on sizing up 1-2 sizes. Button fly is manageable but a pain and not ideal, adds bulk as another poster mentioned and I did notice the buttons coming open on their own - would prefer a zipper. Ultimately I returned these jeans, too fussy.

I am 5’ tall and 105 lbs with an hourglass shape and longer legs (for how short I am). I bought a size 2 Regular and they fit me perfectly! Loose enough to not be considered skinny jeans and very flattering on my hips, butt and waist. Perfect length as well. I’d say they run small because I usually wear a size 0 or 00.

These are a cute fit and I like the rise and the way they fit the booty. I needed long lengths and I found they run a little bigger than regular length. So if you're getting a long, stick with your normal waist size. In regular you may need to size up.
