Anyone buying DG2 new jeans?

I just bought 4 pairs! I love, the fit of her jeans.

Hi Forrest. I love the fit of her jeans too, but I am passing this time. Enjoy them

No, I have enough bootcuts and wish she had put the skinny stretch on special. I do like the white color shirt but would never wear it with the white jeans like the model and Diane. Very 80's, and Britney and Justin in the Canadian tuxedo. I see the white and another color of the shirt, being $10 less with the jeans, is now supposedly sold out. Wow, this sure seems successful so far.

I really like the material she uses but the waist is way to high for me and uncomfortable. Also her boot cuts are not real boot cut. I did, however, order the vest.

I'd love to give them another try, but I can NEVER get the sizing right.

They are huge in size. I normally wear a 12 or 14 in most brands but I had to get a 10 in hers so they would fit. Sent them back anyway because the waist is too high for me.

I actually canceled my order when I found out the inseam is 32 for average. If I go to petit the rise is all off and I don't like the waist low. I spent an hour measuring the inseams of the other pants I have of hers, and just went back to the skinny jeans. I can't imagine why she has an inseam at 32 for average!

Nope. I've got enough of her stretcy-stretch jeans. When I'm in the mood to wear jeans, I want them to look like jeans. Plus, all that stretch feels like a mess on me by the end of the day.

I haven't bought anything for a couple of years. I liked her boot cut jeans but I had to size up and then have them tailored. Gilman jeans are not made for fuller legs. Also I'm not sure about the thinner, stretchy material she uses now. Someday I'll get a pair on clearance just to check them out. Today's version doesn't interest me at all. I don't like the wash. Too "busy" for me.

It's a spring/summer Jean and the length is meant to accommodate the higher heels we wear in summer.

Definitely, not my taste.

I bought 3 pairs. I tried many pairs of regular jeans and either the waist fits and thighs are too tight or the legs are good, but the waist has a large gap. These fit w/o the elastic waist. There is a lot of stretch.

I was just watching and saw those jeans. I never heard them give the measurements for the inseams, so had to look online (grrr). I'm tall and happy to see that the inseam for the talls are 34", however, I've read on here that they have lots of stretch in them, and that is a huge turn off for me.

I have too many NEW jeans, have to curb my thinking I need another pair.

I cannot resist her jeans. They are the only ones that fit me( a 74 year old). They look good.

Every one has opinions and different tastes, but the TS looks like jeans from the '80s. I know fashions usually end up "coming back around", but I personally don't like the look. I know what I'm talking about...I WAS a child of the 80's...graduated high school in the 80's. I guess they just remind me of some of the styles we wore back then...and I don't want to revisit them now!! Some of her other jeans look okay, but the acid wash look is not appealing to me. Enjoy them if that's your taste!

I read this somewhere (but can't remember the source!)

If you wore a fad the FIRST time around, don't wear it when it becomes popular the second time.

I think those are words to live by!

I just bought curvy skinny and slight boot cut DARK indigo jeans from the Gap. They look fantastic and I'm almost 60.

I would NEVER consider re-visiting acid wash!

I just purchased two pair of Levi's. One slight boot cut and other straight legs. Fit me great and love Levi's. When they have a short in my size I grab them. Petite doesn't work well for me and the shorts are better and the correct length and not too short. Sometimes petites are too short and the rise if off on me.

I too graduated high school early 80's and college in late80-'s also and that material is straight out of that decade...and in my opinion should've stayed there.
