Martha Stewart patchwork jeans

faeriemoon — Mon, 05 Feb 2018 13:19:53 GMT

So what's the real sizing deal on these? Some reviews say they run large, some true to size, and some small?

Anyone have them? I missed the boat last time and would like to try to grab a pair today.

Please and thank you.

I have them ,and for me, the petite fit true to size. They are a skinny jean, and that might be the problem for some. They wash well, don't stretch out, I throw mine in the dryer, and it is all good.

@cherry. Thank you. Is the waist kind of average, or to they pinch in at the waist?

NO ,I am short waisted and it is comfortable, not tight or too loose...just look at the garment ,size to be sure it's how you want it to fit

@faeriemoon Can you call customer service and ask for the garment measurements?

They are very comfortable, they have stretch in them. They are also super cute, so are all of her jeans. I have 6 pr and not one is a cluncker

@dex I think they will just give me the on line measurements which seem a bit off to me.

Look at the description and click on the click here measurements. Those measurements are the actual measurement of the jeans. Compare those with a pair you own providing the spandex content is the same and you should get a perfect fit.

@faeriemoon@That is why it is so difficult to get a good fit without trying on.I read that garments are cut out in huge stacks so that means size variables too.I usually take a few of the same size into a dressing room and choose the pair that fits best.I wish that someone would come up with a body scan that directs you to the size you need for each garment and manufacturer.

I know what you mean. I used to spend hours trying on jeans in the store. And even if you had the same jean in the same size and wanted several pairs, each one seems to fit differently. It was exhausting.

i have had great luck with the click here measurements, I wish all on line retailers provided it. I buy all my denim on the Q now because it’s so much easier than trying on so many in the stores. However I have been purchasing clothing from catalogs since I was high school. Never liked shopping in the malls. I am in my mid 60’s. So the measurements the Q provide are the best thing since sliced bread and more times than not I get a perfect fit.

@faeriemoon

I wish I knew too. I have 2 sizes in my cart, trying to decide.

I first bought her embroidered jeans in a size 2 and they fit well everywhere except they were too tight in the waist.

According to the 'click here' measurements the waist should have fit fine.

So I returned the size 2 and got size 4. The waist on the size 4 was fine, but they were a little loose in the hips, thighs & butt, but I kept them hoping to shrink with washing and drying.

When her tuxedo jeans came in, I ordered those in size 4 since they show the identical measurements as the embroidered jeans and they were huge all over!

There lies my delimma with these patchwork jeans!

@KingstonsMom I bet those measurements are what q sends out to the factory and then the variables occur.

@KingstonsMom

I know! I also know if I order the larger size I think I might need for a more comfortable fit in the waist, the legs are going to be too baggy.

@faeriemoon

IMO, with the 6 pair I've tried, the waist runs small.

I just don't think the 'click here' measurements are correct.

@faeriemoon I think sometimes the actual cut and design doesn't work for your body type.I hope that you can find a style that works for you.I think most of the Q cuts are for curves.I have curves in some spots and lacking in others so it is a struggle to find a brand that fits my needs the best.

Brilliant! That's what I did; they actually have the same waist measurement as my Calvin Kleins.

Ordered.

Thanks for your thoughts on this. I have taken the plunge on this based on other jeans in my closet. The waist measurement seems to be the same. I'll report back. I'll either be elated that they fit great, or I'll be griping that I have to make a return. And it will definitely be a return and not an exchange because this particular jean will look ridiculous with baggy legs.

Good Luck. I hope they fit. One of the measurements besides the waist that I pay great attention to is the thigh circumference. That for me is usually more important than the waist for a proper fit. I really look at the thigh and the knee measurements along with the waist and hips of course. But for some reason the thigh measurement is the most important as to how the legs fit.

@faeriemoon Hope they work for you.I think the fabric has a lot of spandex in it so they will feel heavy.I don't like that feel.If they don't fit well they seem to slide off me.
