Good fit

I’m super confused by the reviews talking about a loose fit. Do you not wash your jeans? Coming from someone who is SUPER picky about jeans I LOVE these! I did have to size down (normally a 26 but sized down to a 25) but they don’t stretch and become baggy until maybe the 3rd or 4th wear? I can put these on with a cute body suit and chase my 2 year old around for hours on end and they do not lose shape or bag. These jeans are perfect! My only complaint is that they do fade a bit even if you don’t put them in the drier

Incredibly loose after short wear time

While I'd say these run true to size, they stretch out horribly after even half an hour of wear. They look great after being washed/dried and within a short period of time, the seat and hips are loose and sloppy looking.

confusing jeans

Similar experience here as I had with the blue version of this jean. I’ve sized down twice and it isn’t enough. Caught a glimpse of myself in a window reflection while running errands and WHAT? The jeans had bagged out to the point of being entirely unflattering after wearing them 30 mins at home and about 15 minutes to the market. They looked like a completely different jean than the one I’d put on in the morning. These are going back.

unflattering cut

These jeans were super stiff, wide in the waist, and much lighter than expected. They look so cute on the model, but we’re very unflattering on me.

perfect fit

I love Madewell jeans. Perfect fit every time. For reference I’m 5’9” and 143# and purchased a size 27. They’re fantastic!

my favorite off black

I am usually a 29 but ordered one size down after getting this in a 28 in different wash. While the denim is of course more flattering on the model, these are so comfortable compared to a lot of premium denim I own

Not the expected look

It looks perfect on the picture. I was looking for that length that shows your ankles. Unfortunately it was too long. I wish they had different lengths. Disappointing as jeans usually tend to be on the short side to me. It runs a little be large too.
