I have a pair of NYDJs, and I did have to size down...and they were still too big (they sag after a few hours). I bought a petite size. </p> <p>Or maybe it has to do with body type? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/psa-regarding-nydj-sizing#post-1897799 Mon, 12 Mar 2018 11:42:59 +0000 tulle 1897799@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, April; good to know.&nbsp; I find this to be true in petite-sized pants of most brands, even when they list measurements (other than length) to be the same. It may be the cut of the rise creates that too-small, pinched feeling.&nbsp; I generally size up in petites pants, or just buy regulars and resign myself to hemming. It's in jackets and tops that I find petite sizing to be a boon, because I'm short in the torso. In regular jackets the waist hits right at my high hip--NOT a flattering fit!&nbsp; By the way, that "barnyard odor" from the dye in your new jeans may be a sign that they were dyed traditionally, with natural indigo.&nbsp; Be sure to wash them alone, or with other dark blues before wearing.&nbsp; The smell, if it is indigo, should dissipate over time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/psa-regarding-nydj-sizing#post-1897790 Mon, 12 Mar 2018 10:59:44 +0000 April 1897790@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In case any of you are contemplating an update to your jeans wardrobe using NYDJ, read on.</p> <p>You may know that their recommendation is to "go down one size for the perfect fit."&nbsp; Just an alert that while this seems to work in their regular sizes, it does not hold true in petites.</p> <p>I sometimes order petites from them because the length is right and I don't have to get them hemmed.&nbsp; In a recent NYDJ order, I ended up sizing UP in petites.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>It took much ordering and returning to figure this out, so hoping to spare others the same tedious process.</p> <p>Also, the dye in the jeans I received has that heavy "barnyard" odor that new denim sometimes carries.&nbsp; My hope is that it will dissipate after multiple washings. </p>
