Marilyn High Rise Straight Leg Jeans

I generally like the look and fit of NYDJ. I purchased a 16W that fit. However, this particular style, Marilyn, has a panel that cover like an upper belly pouch. But I have a lower belly pouch and it seems like panel accentuates it, not lovely. But if you are lucky to not have this issue, these jeans are nice in usual NYDJ form. I generally get the Alina or Ami style, preferably high waisted in NYDJ jeans.

Love these jeans-I am in between a 16W & a 18W & the 16W was perfect in these. Love that they're a true 'straight jean-hard to find ones without a little flare to the bottom or that are 'skinny'. The dark color lends itself well to dress up or down. An evening out with these jeans, heels & a fitted jacket is my new 'go to'.

Pockets in front and back. Hopefully, these won't shrink or bleed in the wash. I'm 5'7" and had to have them altered about 3". This is a first for NYDJ. That said, they are a very welcoming 18+ and the 20 were way too big. I love these so much before alternations, that I'm tempted to order a few more pairs to have altered when I pick my alterations. This is from a very frugal adult who RARELY IF EVER buys anything that's not on sale.

Although I love NYDJ Plus Size trousers, I thought I'd try these Marilyn straight leg jeans. They fit light leggings, and I do not wear leggings on my plus-size legs. I usually wear a 16 Plus, so I took a chance and ordered an 18 Plus, figuring that since they were not cut as trousers I'd better be on the safe side. They were not straight-legged on me, and sadly I had to return them.
