Unless you find some on sale they are over $114 and up and they are supposed to give and stretch with you...........now I don't mean wear two or three sizes to small and expect them to stretch but they usually say one size smaller but I don't even buy that and they never NEVER EVER stretch..............does this happen to anyone else?  I have put along story about them on Beauty.............just wondering if you ever just balloon up with not eating different and or has your stomach every just gotten huge in two weeks?  Do you Like NYDJ and do they give on you because I can wear mine 10 days straight and they don't budge.  Thank you

NYDJ or Not Your Daughter's Jeans is a line of jeans made for a baby boomer's body. They generally have a higher rise in them. This line used to be made in the U.S. too but now a lot of it is made offshore. Thiis clothing line has also expanded into non jean pants as well as tops.

 

The jeans are/were more expensive than some brands. I only own one pair of their jeans and 1 pair of black ponte knit pants. I think they are OK but I wouldn't pay full price for them. I think I bought them at Winners. Since Winners is owned by TJX, the parent company of T.J.Maxx and Marshall's, that's where I would look for them.

First of all, Suggest you have Doctor test your thyroid and hormone levels. Second, NYDJ owned several when they first came out. Now! No way. Quality isn't there since brand moved to China. Others might disagree, Having experienced both styles. Difference is obvious. Best wishes to you. Health is most important. As women we often experience issues connected with menopause.

Confused??

 

You wear your jeans ten days straight and they don't budge? Meaning ..?? You don't wash them for ten days or what??

 

Sorry if you meant something else.

I own two pairs of Not Your Daughter's Jeans; a dark wash bootcut and a black straight.  They are my "dress up" jeans.  I did not pay full price for them, I got them at TJ Maxx for $39.99 each.  I think they are a great stretch jean but no better than any other good quality stretch jean.  I'd never pay full price for them...never.  I don't quite understand what OP is asking.  If she has them in her NYDJ size then they aren't going to stretch to accommodate a big belly.   That's not what stretch jeans do.   I size down in all stretch jeans, it's good for the ego.  Most jeans with a lot of stretch "loosen up" a couple of hours after I wear them so that's why sizing down works.

I don't understand .... what is the fabric content?   Some jeans don't stretch at all, but they certainly wouldn't cause you to "balloon up".   How are they supposed to budge?    I don't understand what you're asking.

The jeans fit when I buy them and mabye a tad loose in the waist but they never stretch any at all on me..........we don't know why my stomach has ballooned like I am 8 months pregnant in  13 days..........had blood drawn yesterday.  Yet the jeans never stretch  at all...........being made in china no wonder they are not as good as they were 4 years ago, and as for the do you wear them 10 days............yes I put a pair on for 10 days straight to see if they would stretch and give something and they do not but my body is clean and I am in my home just seeing if the jeans stretched it was a task to see do these jeans give as they are what they say. I am clean it is to wear a few hours each day for ten days and they did not stretch out at allll........soi they do not give on me..........thank you to all that posted.
