I'm trying the NYDJ jeans for the first time and am torn on what size. I actually have at home the size 10 & 12 of the Marilyn Straight Leg jeans that I ordered from Zappos through Amazon. I need to return one and am trying to decide which one to keep.
My normal pant & jean size is always a 12. In the NYDJ, the 12 seems to fit really nice and feels good and the 10 also fits but are skin tight. I'm not used to wearing skin tight jeans but they say they stretch out. They would need to stretch out quite a bit to not look skin tight. On the flip side, if they do stretch a lot, I'm worried that the 12s will get too loose. I got the Presidio color that is 70% COTTON, 13% POLYESTER, 10% LYOCELL, 5% ELASTOMULTIESTER, 2% ELASTANE.
So ... with that said ... I'm wondering about shrinkage. If I keep the 12s and put them in the dryer, will they shrink a lot so then be more form fitting without being skin tight? I know they say not to put clothes with elastane in the dryer but I'd only do it once to get some shrinkage then air dry after that.
Your input is greatly appreciated as even though I got them on sale for $79, that's still a lot so I want to choose the correct size. Thanks in advance everyone!
