DG2 TS Sunday

Lipstickdiva — Thu, 11 Feb 2016 15:14:56 GMT

If anyone is interested, Diane is having a TS Sunday and they are doing a presale of it now. It's a pair of superstretch skinny jeans. These are a jean with a regular button front waist with a zipper, not a pull on of any type. They come with a subscription to Vogue magazine.

The price is $49.95 plus s/h. These are not a new jean because there are already 977 reviews with an average of 4.1 stars.

I have never tried this brand. I do not see the inseam measurements for writes on the hsn website does anyone know what it is? Are these jeggings or jeans?

@Squirrel Lover if you go to the hsn site and search gilman superstretch, the first thing that comes up are the TS jeans on presale. If you click the details tab, it will give you more info. The average inseam is 29, petite is 27 and tall is 31.

These are a regular skinny jean, not a pull on jegging or legging.

@Squirrel Lover Her sizing is very inconsistent, but under garment measurements it says the lengths (P,A,T) are 27, 29, and 31". I'll caution you that she increases the rise an inch or so as the lengths increase. This is a problem for me because I have very long legs for my average height, but I don't need extra room in the rise, so her jeans in the tall look like a wet diaper on me.

These are definitely a no go for me because I can't do anything from her line but pull-on styles. Everything else is too big in the waist by the time I get the hips, butt and thighs to fit me.

I also have the same problem with lengths. I would need the 31" inseam but I don't want the waist under my breasts and that's what would happen.

These jeans are getting really good reviews but I'm not even tempted because I know it would be a return.

Not tempting for me either, been there done that. The Talls fit like mom jeans. I do have one pair of her ponte stretch jeans from a couple years ago that didn't get donated. That is the only pair of her jeans that I would try again.

The thing I don't like about her skinny jeans is that they bunch on my leg. They look great when you first put them on and then they start creeping up the leg and bunch. None of the other leggings or skinny jeans that I buy do that. I wear them bare legged, too. By the way, check out Nordstrom and look at the Wit and Wisdom stretch jeans. They fit so well and don't bag anywhere, especially your bottom. They are under $70.00.

The last pair I took a chance on was probably 3 years ago...prior to that I had given up totally for several years...inconsistent sizing and sausage casing "skinny." My "skinnies" do the same thing as @GSPgirl...they stick up on my legs when I get up from sitting...I have to do a little dance to get them to fall back down...lovely.

I still own and wear approx 6 of her old fabric jeans in various styles. The last pair (3 yrs ago) was in one of her newer fabrics...wasn't impressed.

However...

The other day I was browsing HSN's site and came upon these...last pair in my size...baby bell not sausage I mean skinny...color I wouldn't normally try at a regular price, but these were $17 total...if I hate them, or more likely if they don't fit, I won't feel too awful donating them...ordered Tue...should be delivered today...I got red (shocker!)...

395-792

I am amazed that people still buy her jeans. Inconsistent quality and sizing are part of doing business with Diane Gilman. Be prepared to spend a fortune returning inconsistently sized jeans. I gave up on her a long time ago.

How is it that the shopping channels don't do something about this after all the complaints? LM

I can't wear her jeans. Her 2's are like b and m 6's. I'm not skinny, but her jeans just don't fit me . I love stretch but not that much stretch. Diane takes a 4 in her jeans, and she looks to be a size 10.

Lipstickdiva — Thu, 11 Feb 2016 19:54:36 GMT

@MacDUFF, I had pretty much resigned myself to the fact that her bottoms weren't for me. My first pair I bought years ago were horrible. The material felt like rubber and 2 of me could have fit in the waist. The crotch was all bunched up and I looked like I had reverse poop droop.

Then for some reason I decided to try her superstretch 5 pocket jegging that are the skinnies. They pull up so they work for me in the waist. I have no problem at all with them riding up or sticking to my calves. In fact they are one of my favorite pair of jeans. I've not had any problem with them stretching out or bagging.

I loved them so much I went for the superstretch comfort waist bootcut jeggings. What a nightmare. They slide down all day long. I rarely if ever wear them and should have returned them.

Hope springs eternal though so when she came out with her flex stretch jeggings, I had to buy them. Another nightmare. They have some weird slippery backing on them and they too slid down so bad, I took them right off and packed em up for a return. I cannot stand having to yank up my pants everytime I stand up from sitting or bending over.

I have vowed off anymore of her bottoms with the exception of the one style that fit me. Because of my shape (pear), I am also one that cannot size down. I stick with my normal size, otherwise I look like 2 pounds of sausage in a 1 pound casing.

Thanks, Lipstick. I happened to run across the presale this morning, and will order probably 2 or 3 pairs. Her jeans are all I wear. I used to wear D&C modern waist jeans, but when the discontinued them, I had to find something new. I own about 6 pairs of the superstretch jeans now (same ones being offered Sunday), and it's time to refresh my white and chambray. They fit me perfectly and make me look much slimmer than I really am (which is always good). My husband always comments when I wear them, about how skinny my legs look, and I wear a regular 16. Looking forward to some new ones. Might even try one of the fashion colors.

What else would it be except super super stretchy skinny jeans....lol Probably in spring colors. But not new by any stretch of the imagination. Still, she'll see a million of them.

I have a pair of her superstretch - way too heavy of material for me - her sizing is all over the place.

If you need a lower rise or or don't like a mom jean rise these are not for you. The rise is so high that they go about 2-3 inches above my waist.

Half a million will be returned, then sell for $20 on clearance.

@Lipstickdiva

Y'all will get a kick out of this...

I received my red $17 DG2 jeans today. I thought I ordered my usual size (which is anything from 6 to 12 tall, I kid you not) 8T, but they arrived and they're a regular 10, but...shocker! (or maybe not LOL)...they fit like a glove. The rise is lower than normal (no mom jean look), the red is not screaming (I'd call it a tomato), the length is perfect even rolled for summer, they fit like a straight leg...how does that happen!?? Whatever! I'm happy! Bonus = I have at least 3 summer tops that go with and a red scarf to wear them now with a black sweater...

Go figure!!!

her last two jegging pull ons that were the TS really worked well for me and i have bought multiples of those. i buy them in my regular hsn size. i cannot size down.

i cannot wear her regular jeans because she doesnt really cut them for pear shaped figures. my mom can wear them well.......she has a tummy, no hips or thighs or booty.

I like her Super Stretch. I go down a size, material is soft. I'm happy, but yes, sizing can be inconsistent.
