It bothers me that the spiel for this brand is to go down a size. How about just sizing it correctly so that your regular numeric size fits? The pants look too tight on the model showing that she’s down from her regular size.

I've often posted here my one and last experience trying to "fit" NYDJ online....

Bought a pair during Covid that I still can't wear. When I finish taking off my "unwanted" lbs this winter...about 8 more to go...I'll be at my "fighting weight" and see if they fit now. If not, they're getting consigned! Anyway, IF I'd have just bought my normal size 4 that day, instead of "MAKING SURE I SIZE DOWN!! as they drill into you, I'd have been wearing these jeans all this time. For reference they were just a Marilyn straight leg.

@amyb - that was the exact style they happened to be showing. It was the Marilyn straight leg, only with a cuff.

I have never been able to wear this brand.  I've tried it a couple of times, just ended up donating expensive jeans that don't fit.  Lesson learned.

  I look at the sizing chart specific to each jean in NYDJ as I found sometimes you may not wear the same size across the board in  various styles in these jeans .

 I do not go by the generic QVC sizing chart either .

I'm actually the opposite and NYDJ are now the jeans I wear the most.  In my experience, if I buy my normal size, they usually fit well but stretch out by the end of the day.  If I buy one size down, they're a little too tight when I first put them on but fit perfectly after about 15 minutes and stay that way.

@marsha-ca I just mentioned this in the am style thread.  I love her jeans and own several pairs!  Great price today.

I don't wear anything from any designer with "compression" around the waist. I won't wear Women with Control with the blue tek technology. Can't stand anything fitted around my waist.

I LOVE this brand. Bought the tsv a while back(not the Marilyn--they didn't work for me at all) and loved them so much that I ordered a second pair at full price. I like how they sit AT THE WAIST. Sizing down worked for me on this particular pair. Wish I could recall the item number.
