Any experience with the Limited jeans?

PalmFronds

Hi Ladies,
I am still trying to wrap my mind around the investment of buying some premium denim but can't yet do it. I ran into this pair at the Limited:

They fit fantastically well and feel great, soft denim with a perfect rise. However I don't know how well they will fare in the long run after wear and washing etc.Any experience with Limited's denim regarding stretching out and more importantly shrinkage after wash?

Thanks!

I haven't purchased jeans at the Limited in over a year (they are not close to where I live anymore), but really like the ones I had. I am curvy, and the fit was perfect. I usually have to alter the waist and didn't with my jeans. I purchased the Cassidy or Lexie brand, but I see the jeans are now denoted by number. I suggest purchasing them on the tight and long side as they did stretch a bit and shortened in the wash (even with air drying them).

I hope they work out for you.

I really really like Limited jeans! I bought some quite by accident a few years ago and they are now my favorites. Stretch is fairly minimal especially compared to other brands. I experienced no shrinkage. They have really stood up and seem very much like 'premium denim' to me. I have the straight fit, maybe it is the Cassidy, cannot remember, but I am a curvy hourglass with apple tendencies and they fit me great. Good luck!

I had the Mia skinnies last year, but the dye rubbed off the knees when I crawled around the floor with my kids. Other than that, I thought they were pretty good in terms of holding their shape.

Hey Ladies!Thanks for your input, I am hoping I get a few more opinions too. I have never owned any of their jeans before and was pleasantly surprised at how well they fit, almost no gap along the waist, perfect rise and quite soft. I am a somewhat slender hourglass so this waist-hip issue is usually a big problem for me, but wasn't in these which is why I am interested in them. Plus the rinse was devine.Based on your input looks like I may give the a shot, but stay on the long side based on what Eva said

I will have to check these out too. If I recall correctly, they are a little lower in price than Gap jeans which I also like. Glad you mentioned them!

The fabric content of only 1% spandex and the rest cotton seems to indicate that they won't stretch out. On a thread some time ago there was a discussionon the amount of spandex and bagging. One or two% seemed to usually work.

Thanks for the info Joy, I didn't know that about the spandex %.
JeanGray, Limited has a 40% sale going on today so you can try those jeans for an even lower price I went to the store to buy them(actually sent my husband to seek them as a Christmas present) but they were sold out in most sizes.Even online I had t order them as backorder, but atleast it is 40% off, and also free shipping for orders over $75. Good luck!
