I enjoy her, but have never bought any of her items.

I have been buying her clothes for at least 10 years now! Love her tops, jackets and jeans. I have gone through many sizes..wish I'd kept them because now I'm back in the smaller sizes, who knew??{#emotions_dlg.biggrin}

I used to really like her jeans. BUT...after I wore them 2 times, they stretched out 2 sizes too big. I don't think her sizing is consistent either. Her 2's in some styles are like a 6/8.

The new fabrics she uses are supposed to hold their shape - not get stretched out. That is why I am interested in trying them now after avoiding them for years. If you liked them in other ways you might want to try the styles with the new fabrics.

Thanks.

Does she still use ramie? I don't want ramie? I love a cotton/poly or cotton/rayon spandex blend. I did like the jeans, but I knew they would not fit me well. I am not tiny, but I'm slender. I think they would stretch out too much as I wear a 2 in jeans. Her 2 is a 4 or 6.

Sized up? Unless you have worn her jeans before and know how they fit, for heaven's sakes, don't size up. The average person will have to go down or risk bagginess.

I'm not sure of the content. Someone mentioned that the TS twill ones have different content than her superstretch ones.

Those things are the skinny tee of jeans...... She could stretch them across the street! No wonder they sell......everyone can wear a size zero! Not crazy about how they bunch up on some of the models' legs.

Over 100,000 jeans? In ONE day? Good grief!

Re: Diane Gilman has sold 85,000 jeans today!

I thought I had snagged a pair this morning. I ordered a pair in the petite length, then had worries that they might be too short, and went back to the site to also order the same thing in the regular length. My petite pair was still in my cart!

Ugh...both pairs are now on waitlist. Look forward to reading your reviews, since I may not get anything for a long time to come.

Good for her! Personally I need to try jeans on before buying. She is a marketing genius!
