Wit & Wisdom Brocade Jeans from Angie's Blog post (sizing?)

Mamapicklejuice

I love the idea of fancy jeans for holiday parties. I particularly love the W&W (and the price tag).

Can anyone guide me on sizing? Are these full length or cropped? I don't mind trying 2 sizes, but would rather not order 3. I'm deciding between 4, 6 and 8. I'm normally a 6 right now...so I'm curious if these jeans run big or small or if I'd want to size up for slouchiness?

I have them! They are full length, although just barely on me. I think the inseam is around 31". That just covers my ankles with almost no scrunch, which is fine with booties (the length on me is like Angie's gold jeans). I got my regular size. I suspect that if you are not as pear shaped as me (big hips) you might be able to size down. I don't think you want to size up.

Jenava has them too. Here is my original post asking about them; she gave me some fit info there too.

Some of my clients have had luck with their regular size in these because they did not want them to look body con. Some even sized up!

Diana's sporting the body con look with hers - which looks fab! Just making the distinctions.

My experience is the same as Angie and Diana's recommendations. They are TTS so I ordered my normal size because I wanted them fitted because I am planning to wear a chunky cream sweater with them. At 5'3" there's even a bit of scrunch at the hem, happily.

Hm, I am normally a 6 nowadays, and my fave Paige jeans are a size 28. HOWEVER, I just had to order size 29s in two different Paige jeans. The "new to me" Paige jeans in 28 felt a size too small. So I thought a size 6 and 8 might be in order. Wonder if I should skip the 8s?

I'm between sizes, and could have done either size in these just fine (I bought mine in store and they happened to have the smaller of the two sizes in stock, so that's what I got). If I'd gotten the bigger size I probably would have needed to take in the waistband, because I'm curvy. They don't have a TON of stretch, which I like because they don't get saggy. I'm 5'6" with short to average length legs and they hit at the ankle. So, 31" inseam sounds about right?

MPJ, I am ALWAYS one size up from normal in Paige jeans, so I'd say go with your regular size in these. The 8 fits me about the same as my size 30 (10) paiges.

Grr, too late to cancel the size 8. Oh well, that's what free shipping/free returns is for, right?

Now I'm thinking, drat, I don't have footwear for these jeans, so they might just go back altogether. I only have black and gray knee high boots, brown ankle boots and no pointy toe flats that I can remember. I'll have to dig through the "archives."
