Laurie Feltheimer started off on HSN with her Hot in Hollywood line.  It seems her jeans were very popular.  I had never ordered any because I'm a hard fit.  I did try other clothing and wasn't impressed at all.  I didn't like the fabrics and thought most of her stuff was cheap.  I think she started on Q with the same name and then it changed.  She gave a reason but I can't remember.  LOL

 

These jeans were a former TSV which is why they are so marked down as the Big Deal.  I keep going back and forth about ordering them but I'm really afraid they are going to be too tight in the legs for me.  I can never size down in bottoms because that is where I carry my weight.

I have a different pair of her jeans...I like the fabric, the fit is a bit large on me but could not go down a size.

 

I was going to purchase these jeans but they must be cut small.....typically I am a medium/or 10-12.  According to the measurents (compared to her other jeans I own)...I would need at least the large...and the waist would be huge.....not buying just to try on.

@skatting44 Take a look at her Big Deal jeans. They are fantastic and are higher waisted enough that you might like. Highly recommend. I have tons of her jeans. The Big Deal $39 price tag is well worth it.

I’m tempted to try them in the petite size. I usually wear a 30 inseam but 29 works with some shoes. 

 

I have no idea what size to order. The recommended size is a size smaller than I usually take. I heard them say that would be “fitted” and to get a size larger if you want it to be a bit more relaxed. 


I decided to try a pair! I got the vintage wash (but I liked them all) and ordered based on her size chart. I’ve been shrinking a bit lately so, I figure, if they are a bit tight when I get them they won’t be for long.


@willdob3 I ordered these when they were a TSV. I'm 5'1" and ordered the petite length. They're definitely not 29", which would've fit me well. They're probably 27", so I can't wear them with a heel. Other people also noticed the same thing. I looked at ordering the regular inseam, but they're out of my size,so it made my decision for me.

The reviews on there are all over the place so no idea how they will fit. If the fit is horrible I can try exchanging. I hope I like them.

@Mom2Dogs, I'm passing too.  I'm not losing $10.00 just to try on a pair of jeans.

Laurie Felt jeans are wonderful and much better fit than Kim Gravel’s or Susan Graver.  I like that she uses very little spandex - 1%.  This is a fantastic price compared to the stores.  I like that these are not pull-ups.
