why does everyone rave about the fit of dream jeans.  The fit is horrible. A 1x is skin tight and the 2x so huge in the waist you could fit 2 people in there.  That is how they fit me.  I have tried and tried different styles of dream jeans pants and none of them fit properly.  Can you make a 1X 1/2? That is a rehtorical question, no response needed I know they can't make a 1X 1/2. Just curious if anyone else has the same issue I have with the way they fit.

I've never tried the jeans you mentioned, but I find jeans in general a tough fit unless you can try them on in person at the stores.

I love Lori Goldstein's jeans, but the rise is never high enough for me, why do the jean manufacturers make such short rises? Not interested in hip huggers! Lol

Candace Bure made high rise jeans that fit just right, but now she's out of the designing business. Gloria Vanderbilt makes high rise jeans of decent quality also.

I do better trying on jeans as well.  I did find Candace jeans fit me well. Glad I have  the ones I do.

@eibbed 78 I have to say, I have never been a fan of any QF pants. Their theory that some people are just short, not petite, whatever that means, does not work for me. I am short, and petite. I actually find her rise is much too high. The fit is awkward. I tried a pair many years ago. Not sure how they fit these days but I won't ever buy them since their measurements are so off from my needs.

 

As others mentioned, I love CCB jeans. I actually have jeans from many different designers on QVC and HSN. It's important to read ALL the garment measurements. Most designers have different styles of jeans so one pair may work whereas another pair won't.

 

I think I have about 15 pairs of jeans that are from all different designers but I love the fit. I never keep any jeans that I am uncomfortable in.

Just like many others I have great difficulty in ordering jeans with out trying them on first.  It is very challenging for me.  Good luck to you in finding your "dream" jeans!!

Perhaps these are just not cut to mimic your body.  Some brands have various ratios of waist to hip sizing.  Check around for a different brand.  

I like a zipper close with a waistband and there are some brands that never work.
