Why doesn't he just do regular sizing? I don't understand.


@RetRN  I was buying  NYDJ years before they ever sold on QVC.    NYDJ were sold at Nordies, Neimans, Saks, and boutiques for years before Q.  They always ran like that. Larger. The jeans  design are different because she adjusts waist, thigh area differently. Then she has the lift panel.  Years ago when they were first marketing them the sizing was explained.  Example.  The size is based more on a real woman size 10, than a regular factory 10 which is based on just numbers .  lol.  Most designer or specific label clothing has off sizing. In fact, try to buy high end tops or pants from Moschino, Dior, Valentino lol. They are so small....and they only go to size large...and a large is like  8-10. lol.  Designers do it because , they can!  All I can figure

I've never tried NYDJ jeans.  All the models size down and ,to me,  the jeans look too tight on them.  They don't look flattering being that tight.  If I tried them, I would buy my regular size.

They'd never fit me.  I have a larger waist, so if I get a pair that fit me in the waist, I have to go up a size or 2, according to the size chart.  I bought a pair, in my normal size, at the outlet, just to try them, and I couldn't button the waist, but the hips were a little big, so I immediately dropped it off at a donation spot.  Maybe, I'll go to a retail store and try them on again.

I first tried them at Nordstrom,  They told me to size down one size.  So I would put on a 0.  They fit,but I asked why when regular size 0 would be too snug.  They said it was extra room in the bottom/stomach area.  Thus the name of the jean. I much prefer regular size jeans to this. But at least I knew they would fit.  So I sometimes order a size down from QVC when they show up there.  I don't usually have any trouble.  Those that haven't tried them, should try them at a department store first.
