Stylish and Durable!!!
I’ve owned many pairs of Gloria Vanderbilt jeans over the years. I added 3 more pairs about 6 months ago – Black, Scottsdale Wash, and Rinse Noir Wash.I like these jeans because not only are they stylish and versatile, they’re also durable and comfortable and fit well.They look great dressed up in heels or boots or dressed casual with sneakers and a T-shirt. There are so many colors and different washes available too. For the reasonable price, I am able to keep adding to my collection.Long term they hold up well to regular washing and don’t seem to shrink in fit or length. I also don’t notice any fading, even in the dark washes or black.I like the gold colored stitching used on the blue washes that I bought (Scottsdale Wash and Rinse Noir Wash). I think it makes a nice contrast.The workmanship is very good and the quality seems to hold up over time. The stitching is strong and the zippers work well.I love the fit of these jeans. I sometimes end up with jeans that have a gap around my waist. This isn’t the case with these jeans, so I can go without a belt. This is nice because then I can wear longer shirts without a lump from my belt showing through.The material of the Black pair is a soft brushed type. It does sometimes attract more lint because of this.I bought my usual size in these and I think they fit true to size. I do think these run a little longer than other brands in length. However, I think they are the perfect length for heels and boots without being too long for flat shoes.One thing that I find inconsistent between the various colors and washes is the waist size. I added a picture to show the difference between the three pairs even though they are all the same size.Overall, I highly recommend these jeans!

Well Made In Pakistan
These Amanda jeans fit nicely, and did not shrink when washed in cold, tumble dried just long enough to smooth out wrinkles, and hung to dry. They didn’t stretch out and sag during wearing. They aren’t luxury denim, but they look nice enough to wear to work, and they stayed comfortable all day.The most important aspect is the seam around the interior of the waist band. These were made in Pakistan, and the thread used was comfortable against my skin. As they fit snugly, this mattered.(I purchased another color, made in China, and the thread at the waist band was stiff and irritating. The cut was also slightly skimpy. They went back.)

Try before you buy!
First off, ignore the “plus size” in the description. I have no idea why that’s included in it. Though there is a wide range of sizes available for these jeans, they are not exclusively plus size!Also…these are *not* tapered, but rather boot cut style. I’ve worn tapered for years. Tapered are cut much narrower to the ankle. While I’d rather prefer it, it seems you can no longer find the actual tapered style any more. I’ve not only searched here, but on eBay and in Kohls. Guess the manufacturer decided the description “boot cut” was less appealing, and now just call the formerly known boot cut style “tapered” (and thus, cut out having both styles, like they have for years). Par for the course on most everything these days, it seems.ALSO…I would strongly use the “try before you buy.” I bought a pair of these in April in size 10, they fit great. Now in November I bought a pair in size 10, too small in the waist, so I had to return and get a size 12. My figure/weight has *not* changed in that timeframe, so it makes no sense. But in recent years I have noticed the same thing in other clothing lines, not just with these jeans. Gotta try them all on almost all the time now to be sure they fit right. That’s the way it is these days.Otherwise, these are the same good fitting, durable and comfortable jeans as always. I wear either a 10 or 12 in pants in general these days. The recent pair in size 10 was a bit too snug in the waist, 12 is perfect. Even though I went up a size this time, they fit fairly well all over, just a tad bit looser in hips and legs than I’d prefer Oh well. (I’m in my 60’s, 5’6”, 160, and have that awful spare tire and then some now that…no matter what I try to do…refuses to deflate or diminish. Really disappointing when you’re used to fitting in an 8/10.)

Great jeans
I was so surprised to find these jeans at this price point. Last year I bought a few different jeans of different brands at department stores and I realized that the Amanda Jeans were my go to, so when I saw these on Amazon and read the reviews I decided to buy two pairs. I ordered the same size as my other Amanda jeans and they all fit the same. I’m so happy. They fasten just below my bellybutton so I guess that is considered high waist, but this is the fit that feels the best on me. The fit is a straight fit which I was hoping for based on other reviews, not sure why they are labeled as tapered. Also the jeans felt a little long at first (I bought regular length and I’m 5’7”), but they didn’t seem as long after washing them. I will definitely be checking back here when I need new jeans again.

LOVED Them So Much I Bought More!
I recently purchased a pair of Gloria Vanderbilt Faded Stretch Jeans, and I must say, I am thoroughly impressed with the quality, fit, and style of these jeans. They have quickly become my go-to choice for both comfort and fashion.First and foremost, the fit of these jeans is fantastic. The stretchy fabric ensures a comfortable and snug fit that moves with me throughout the day. I appreciate that they have just the right amount of stretch without losing their shape. They sit comfortably at the waist and provide a flattering silhouette that I love.The faded design adds a stylish and trendy touch to the jeans. It gives them a chic, vintage-inspired look that’s perfect for various occasions. Whether I’m dressing them up with heels and a blouse or going for a more casual vibe with sneakers and a tee, these jeans are incredibly versatile.The overall construction and durability of these jeans are exceptional. They feel well-made, and I can tell they are designed to withstand daily wear and tear. The stitching and detailing are top-notch, ensuring that they will last in my wardrobe for a long time.The choice of available sizes and inseam lengths is a real plus. It’s easy to find the perfect fit, and the various inseam options mean that I can get the length just right. This attention to detail in sizing ensures that these jeans cater to a wide range of body types and preferences.Maintenance is a breeze with these jeans. They wash well and maintain their color and shape. I’ve been pleased with how they’ve held up, even after multiple washes.In conclusion, Gloria Vanderbilt Faded Stretch Jeans have quickly become my favorite pair of jeans. They offer a winning combination of style, comfort, and durability that’s hard to beat. Whether you’re looking for jeans to wear to work, on a night out, or for everyday comfort, these jeans fit the bill. I couldn’t be happier with my purchase, and I highly recommend them to anyone in search of stylish and comfortable denim. They are a true wardrobe staple that you’ll reach for again and again!

Absolutely AWESOME jeans!!
These jeans are literally fantastic!!! I don’t normally like higher waisted pants cause they are just uncomfortable. These are higher waisted but not in a bad way! I am going through menopause and I have gained some weight in my tummy. The jeans have some stretch to them but not so much that they feel like leggings. They still feel like quality denim!! They hold there shape all day!! They help hold my tummy in a little too. Overall these fit awesome and feel awesome even at the end of the day!! I love them so much I bought them for my daughter and mother too!!

Too long!
These jeans are very comfortable, and I have already worn out a pair I purchased years ago, but these were about 3” longer, even though not sized as “long”. Otherwise, same fit and priced well.

Solid pair of everyday jeans
Bought these for my mother. Says she is one size but she has gained weight and she is really a size larger so they had to look good for her to wear them. They are everyday jeans she wears to do everyday type things.They are about 2 inches too long on her. For reference, average size jean length of say Lee jeans is usually about 1 inch too long on her so these are about 1″ longer than I was expecting. Length was altered at dry cleaners so she doesn’t trip. The stitching is secure and no strings are hanging. The color is true and appears to be lasting a very long time being washed inside out. She doesn’t wear them as often as I bought this style in three colors and she prefers the black as they “go with everything” as she says.

Trouble finding the right size
I’ve been wearing Old Navy skinny jeans in size 12. I was looking for jeans that flatter but don’t show every curve. I think Old Navy jeans run large (nothing else in size 12 fits me), so I ordered 14 petite short.(Note: I am not a petite woman except in height. I still don’t know the difference between 14 petite and 12, except that it has to do more with height than with weight.)I’m 5’3″, and this size was perfect for me! I wanted another pair, so I ordered 14 short. What could be the difference? Well, quite a bit! The fit was just not right–I think they were baggy in the thighs–so back they went.I looked at the GV website and found size charts. They offer short, short petite, short plus, and maybe more. Then I got a pair that was Gloria Tribute, or something like that; the product description didn’t indicate that. I’ve ordered five or six pairs of these–mostly from Amazon–and I think I have three that fit well enough to keep.Amazon has multiple listings for these jeans, and each has different sizes and colors available. I would have been frustrated enough to give up if I didn’t really want jeans that fit like these (in the right size) and if I didn’t really like the sale price.

Color not same as photo but still a nice fitting pair of jeans
I love this style/brand of jeans since they are so comfortable. I have several pairs (regular blue jean color and a black pair). Unfortunately, the price varies with color and there were a few colors I wanted that were more expensive (still cheaper than the full price). When I saw that the Callisto color was on sale I bought a pair, but what came was a medium blue, not the ice blue that the image seemed to show. I returned them assuming that they had just grabbed the wrong color when sending them to me. The new pair I got was the same medium blue and clearly showed “Callisto” as the color. I will keep them since they are so comfortable, but disappointed that they aren’t quite the color I expected.

Tight waste
I do like these pants as I was trying to move away from the skinny jean phase. However, if your mid section has increased as a 50+ woman, they might seem a bit binding there. I still like the dark color jean I purchased and the straight leg is not too big, it’s just a bit uncomfortable if I eat a meal.

Well made. Good jeans for the money.
I like these jeans! Stretchy and very comfortable. Nice weight to denim and zipper seems sturdy. They do stretch out after wearing a bit. They seem to run large and I should have ordered a size down. They don’t shrink with washing/drying. I would much rather have them loose than too tight though!

Fit is great, continues to look NEW
Great jeans, I have purchased several times. After washing they still look NEW! At 72 it is difficult to find jeans that flatter but these definitely do! Try before you buy if not sure if size is a great feature. These jeans are not so heavy or light that they cannot be worn in ALL seasons. Sizing chart is accurate and true to size. They do not shrink when washed nor do they fade! At 5’5” the short still works for me ending just above my shoe heal. Average requires a 1 inch hem or simple turn up! (Yes, that fashion is coming back for jeans) Enjoy your Vanderbilt’s, I know I do!

Just ok.
I am 5’9” and a very slender build. A pro is these pants were long enough. I knew they were a straight leg, which I wanted but they were very baggy and unflattering on me.

Like these but….
I like the jeans. Good quality. I would not call them “tapered leg”. The leg is more of a regular straight leg. Not boot cut for sure. Just not tapered. I guess for that look you need to go to skinny jeans and go a size up.

I wear a 16, and I’m short… but these are so baggy and loose on me. I got them on sale but wouldn’t buy again. It’s a shame that the size runs so Large

Real nice
Good quality. Straight leg. Uniform color. Only skipped a star because there are jeans that I have liked more for a closer fit or unusual detailing. But for 10 bucks they can’t be beat. They’ll hold up a long time. Also short means everything matches the size it lists,i.e. hips, waist, etc. except the leg length. Petite means the whole pant is smaller. ( Hope I said that right) I’m 5′ 8″. And the short length still touched my shoes.

Gloria Vanderbilt Jeans, style Amanda
The jeans fit perfect, no gaps, length was good, if you wear any heels, buy the tall length. I wear flats, short heels, or sneakers, so no issue. The jeans fit rounder rears without gaps at the waist. Flatter rears should order a different style.The jeans hug my figure to perfection.

God fit!
Bought these for my sister for Christmas. They fit really well & true to size & length. She swears by these pants & are so nice looking that she’s even been allowed to wear them for work instead of uncomfortable scrubs. Packaged well & delivered quickly within a day or 2. Highly recommend, but my only advice would be, is to not throw them in the dryer. They are stretch denim, & the dryer stretches them out, ruining the perfect fit. Thanks!

A bit big.
These are wonderful but they are a bit big. I decided to keep mine as they are not big enough to fall off of me. Those purchasing them should keep in mind that they run big though.

Good pants but I received the wrong size
I like the pants and have several pair of these Gloria Vanderbilt jeans. Only issue is I ordered a 14S (short). All the removable tags showed the correct size 14S. I noticed they are longer than my other pants. Then I saw the waistband tag says 14. I kept them and wear with a heeled boot. Not an Amazon problem since they were incorrectly labeled.

That awkward stage
I seem to be lingering in that awkward postmenopausal stage where a 14 is too small but a 16 is just slightly too big. In hope (when you know, you know😉), I ordered the chocolate 14.The 14 fits, HOWEVER, the waist IS a bit snug around the belly. This will be problematic for someone who sits all day (as I do). I work in a call center. If I exchange them for a 16, the belly area will definitely fit better but then they’ll be way too big in the caboose and leg area.The jeans are mostly true to the material in the description: 98% cotton and 2% spandex. Because of bouts with folliculitis, this is important & imperative for me; I need minimal synthetic materials in the materials of my bottom clothing.I’ll pray and decide if I’m going to keep these or return them within this next week.

Perfect fit for me!
I tried these Gloria Vanderbilt jeans based on a perfect fitting old pair of GV corduroys that I love. I’m 5’2″, 30″ waist, 37-38″ hips. Weight 112-115. These claim to be tapered legs and I wanted straight leg but I took the chance since I’m slender through the thighs, legs and hips. At age 71 I have a bit more tummy than I want though. I bought the black jeans in 8-petite and the length is perfect. Rides just over my shoe tops. The waist is good, sits AT my waist and I won’t need a belt. They fit like straight leg jeans on me which is what I hoped. Sturdy denim with just a bit of stretch makes. My fear is that they will shrink a bit when washed/dried and they fit so perfect now. I’ll come back with more info and a photo after I wash them. Very comfortable!

Great fitting jeans
These jeans fit me perfectly and are so comfortable with just the right amount of stretch. After wearing all day they are not stretched out, they are as they were when you put them on. I am 5’8 1/2″ , 150 lbs and the regular fit with a 30 inch inseam fit me just right. At $20, you can’t beat these and they are NOT made in China for a change.

Perfect Fit for Me!!
I’ve been wearing GV Amanda jeans for years. I am usually pleased with the quality and fit either purchasing retail or online. But, I must say these jeans fit me perfectly (5’ 4”, 135), with just enough stretch to feel comfortable. I washed before wearing and there is no shrinkage or wrinkles. I love the color as they don’t look brand new which I also like.

Great jeans except for length & stretchiness
I’m 5′ 5″ and ordered size 8S, my normal size. The 29″ inseam was as listed, however this is too long. After wearing the jeans for a few hours, they had stretched out considerably. They fit perfectly when I put them on, so disappointed in the purchase. I should have known not to purchase a fabric blend!

NOT AS PICTURED SO PLEASE READ.
These are straight leg NOT skinny jeans. I love the Gloria Vanderbilt high rise jeans. I’m between a regular and a long so it took me a few tries before I found the perfect size. I feel like the long is the only size that is really a high rise. So I’ll have to get the hemmed.Amazon has the best price on these jeans.The sizing is odd. I’m a 14 but the longs run large so I ordered a 12 and it was perfect. Size 14 in the regular length is true to size but again they’re not as high rise as I would like.Now that I found a size that works, I’ll be ordering more. Even with hemming, they’re worth it. Great stretch and not to tight. LOVE THEM.

Cute but awkward.
I’ve had these for a few months now and they are very stretchy but the fit is just awkward. Almost too much space in the crotch area and awkwardly “straight legged” but other than that I love how stretchy they are.

Great Jeans!
For reference, I am 5’9″ and 195 lbs and I bought these in both the 10 and 8 in black. I recently put on significant weight due to medical issues and needed new pants in the interim. I bought these both on sale and I think I paid $30 for both. I hope to be in the size 8 soon as I take the weight off so currently I can only review the 10 from wear.The denim is nice and thick, the stitching is great, and the the length falls just around the ankle on me (something I often struggle with given my height). The pockets and rise are flattering, and I actually feel good in these despite my weight increase – these jeans are very flattering without being too trendy or plain.I’m so glad I took a chance on these jeans. I now understand why they’re the most highly rated! I will most likely buy these in my regular size too when I get back down to it. Highly recommend!

Too large
My size is pretty consistent. I typically am an 18, which is what I ordered. The jeans are to large. I will have to size down to a 16 for a better fit.

Comfortable. But wrong size.
Got my wife two pairs of these for Christmas. Size 10 regulars. They are black. However only one pair was actually size 10. The other was two sizes too small. Definitely did not fit.

Excellent quality, might run a little big and tall
I’m 5’2″ and I weigh 160 with an hourglass figure with somewhat short legs. I can fluctuate to 165 and back down again. My weight is presently on a downward trend overall again so who knows. I tried these on just after they arrived today. I absolutely LOVE the quality of the pants. They are so soft, a true white, and not a thin material so any colored underwear could be worn and not show through. The stitching is nice and I have nothing to complain about except that the process to determine my size and fit was confusing. I bought a size 16 short. It was long in the torso. I know I wanted high waisted and they definitely were. They came higher than my waist. It was almost fine in the waist as far as circumferemce but it had extra, and the jeans are made of a soft stretchy material so if they were already baggy, then by the end of the day I’m sure they would have been worse. If they got a little bigger while fitting snug at the beginning of the day or if they started out fitting just right, then it wouldn’t be an issue. Being these are already ridiculously big, I have to return them. If I wore them like this, it means they would appear to add on weight.It had extra room in the hips and too much room for me in the bottom and a ridiculous amount of extra room in the legs starting in the upper thighs to the point of being baggy and I do in general like length in pants for taller shoes but this was too much. I was afraid by the look of the model in the picture they would be too short. I was wrong. She is not my height and is much taller. “Short” pants did not make up for it. Maybe the next size or two down would. I don’t know how many exchanges I will need to do.I wish they would be more clear on whether people like me should get petite or short. I was under the impression that petite was more of a thinner build and not necessarily based on the length. I’m not sure if I’m supposed to wear a 16 but in a petite? I don’t want to keep sending pants back and forth. Maybe I’m a 14 short? Maybe the pants vary from pair to pair within the same brand, style, and size just like other brands in the stores do? I know in another brand I wear a size 12 short and they fit just like they were made for me, but I went on what the size chart for Gloria Vanderbuilt had when I ordered these. I’m still confused on what they call short and petite and why I can’t have a petite short. If you can figure out your size or you luck out, get them! Maybe my body is just odd, lol.I’m knocking down a star just for how confusing the size chart is with the lack of communication about the difference between short and petite and not being able to choose both though they are listed in the two categories.

Flattering – a few wrinkles
This color (hazelnut) shows wrinkles a lot more and needs a touch up after taking out of dryer. I still love the color.Fit great and fabric is stiff enough to hold tummy and butt in and not show body wrinkles/fat. Flattering. But not too stiff, and not too hot.No shrinkage. . I pull them right out of the dryer, don’t let them ‘sit’ in dryer, and still look wrinkled (this color only) okay to wear, not super noticeable, but not ‘crisp’ like the blue and black colors.To avoid fading, I was in cold with a laundry detergent for “colored” or “dark colored” fabric.

Classic fit
These are not your daughters jeans. They are fit for real women (imo). No bells or whistles- just a basic classic deep black jean. I’m medium tall- 5’7, and they are not too long for flats but even better with a medium heel if you want to dress them up a bit They are high waisted and have a looser straight leg so they won’t tuck in a boot well. But for the quality and value they can’t be beat. I’ve paid more for used jeans on Etsy or Poshmark! Recommend.

SIZE DOWN and will fit great
Plus size woman with average cylinder shape. The fabric is well made and has a nice stretch to it. Order one size down for a comfortable (not tight) but doesn’t fall down fit.I can pull on and off without using zipper. With the stretch I could even go down one more size if I wanted a light fit.

Not for men but should be
I took my girlfriend up on a dare to try these GV Amanda jeans. At only $14 for this particular pair I said why not. Especially since it was a try before you buy. Anyways, I nervously tried them on. Wow! Why can’t they make men’s jeans like this! They fit and feel amazing! Way better than my men’s jeans. I can’t believe the freedom of movement in these. I’m not sure if I’ll follow through with this, but these may become my new go to jeans from here on. Fit better and cheaper. Most of all, there is no way to tell these are women’s jeans by looking at them!

I have been buying Gloria Vanderbilt Amanda, extra long jeans for years. Decades. I am currently a size 8 but have had them in 10, 12 and 14 when I was heavier. I used to be able to get them in certain stores and in a huge variety of colors. Now there are very few sources of long sized pants other than Amazon. I keep them on my Honey app droplist and that’s what prompted me to get this pair. I’m glad I did. They are stretchier than my other current blue jeans (I also have black, grayish and tan). I have notice over the years that sizes vary by what country the jeans are made in but there’s no way to know that in advance.

It’s not the true size.
I love Gloria Vanderbilt. I remember they were some of the first pants I wore back in the 80s being tall it was difficult to find pants that were long enough angle and gloria. Vanderbilt actually provided that for me. I had purchased a size 8 previous to this and it felt like my size maybe four or six now I’m in the size 10 and it it still doesn’t feel like a 10 it feels like it’s still kind of tight so I think it’s kinda like Asian style where it runs a little bit smaller so if you want it to be a little bit looser, you may want to go up a bigger size or size, then you know what you normally would use but other than that the pants are great, they feel terrific in the legs And you know it’s nice to have another pair

Love these jeans!
As a 5’8″ woman, I always have trouble finding jeans that have a long enough rise between the crotch and the waist, so while they may fit in the hip, they are snug when I button them because they don’t come up to my natural waist. Additionally, if I go to a “long”, then there is just too much fabric and they don’t look nice. These fit me beautifully, feel great and are long enough in the leg without dragging on the ground. I purchased a size 10 regular and I am going just continue to make these jeans my go to from here on out.

Sizing is weird
I read other reviews that said these were huge and stretchy and I’m between a 14-16 so I went 14. Bought 3 pairs and the dark blue 14 avg fit. I’m 5’3. The 14 short dark brown could not zip in the waist. The black 14 avg could have zipped but uncomfortably & the avg was pretty long. My mom tried the 14 short brown & it was way too long & baggy yet the 14 short black fit her perfectly. 16 avg fit but I think it’s tummy tucking therefore expect a tighter fit in the abdomen.

Measure your inseam before buying!
Measure your inseam before ordering! I see that it’s true that these jeans run big. I am 5’7 1/2” and weigh 220, and people consider me “tall for a woman.” I am in my late 50s. I used to be 5’8” when I was younger, haha, and a size 10, but I digress. First, I ordered a size 18 regular. My legs aren’t short, but the regular length was way too long even wearing shoes (I don’t wear heels), and I should have checked the size guide for leg length. However, going by the size guide for hip/waist measurements, size 18 is what I came up with, but it was a little too big, and I figured they’d be slipping down. I chose the “try before you buy option,” and exchanged for 16 short—which arrived very quickly, before Amazon had even received the ones I sent back! These fit well. The top of the cuff touch my feet just right. These jeans are easy to move around in! When I first zipped them up, they were a little tight (which in my experience, jeans that fit me usually are when I first try them on). But they have some “give,” and that’s great! These jeans were what I was looking for, and you can’t beat the price for the quality of them.

Inseam is short
Has been very hard to narrow down a size. I have tried size 10, too big everywhere but the butt area, still feels like there is potential for an all-day wedgie. Went up a size to 12, same problem except even bigger in the areas i dont need it bigger and no butt room. Have ordered a size 8 long, hoping the long part will add to the butt room and fit good enough to wear to work and be comfortable.

Gloria Vanderbilt Amanda Jeans
I love these jeans. I bought from Amazon because of the price. I have bought many pairs from department store for a much higher price. Received them today fits perfectly the only issue I have is why do they put the clear label down the top of the leg???Now it is all sticky and the adhesive is on the jeans, hopefully it will come out, if not they will be returned. The manufacturer needs to omit using the leg label they are not necessary!!

Value even at $30.00 is a steal ! Fit is perfect. & they wear forever.
W ho would know you aren’t wearing Expensive designer jeans? I never have to worry about how these fit, they always do. I have had a few pair over the years (10?12? years) they just do not vary much if at all. They wash beautifully and shrink minimally also they do not stretch out so much that they get too large by the end of the day. BUT they have give to them so you can eat too much pasta & still feel comfy. I love these jeans !

Better than I thought for now..
I tried them on as soon as I bought them. At first glance they don’t look like much but once I tried them on they fit perfectly! Great for women with fupas lbvvs comfortable at the waist as well. I think I will def buy more. What I am looking out for now is how long will they last aannnd… how bad will the color bleed. Black jeans don’t stay black for long unfortunately

Nice jeans
I like these jeans. I do not love them but I really like them. For the 12 dollar price I would order them again. Nice stretch which is good. They were a little snug but have plenty of stretch.

Gloria knows what she was doing.
There is a jean strength coupled with the right amount of stretch. I have them on now at work. I love the high waist, skinny or boot cute are both great. Order your right size even if you don’t like the number. You will look better and feel put together. I have ordered for about 6 years now and keep coming back for more as my weight has changed. LOVE THEM.

Fit to size!
I happy with this purchase. Many clothes ordered seem to run VERY small!! I ordered 2 sizes, one fit great and was able to easily exchange the 2nd pair! Very happy. And I am short, so the short was a good length.

The fit is perfect!
I ordered a sz10 as I’m currently losing wt and in a sz 12 (started above a sz 18). These fit perfectly! So possibly they run large as I haven’t been a size 10 since high school. 😊 Love them. Thinking of ordering a sz 8.

Love my Gloria V. Jeans!
These jeans were part of my birthday order from my boyfriend. Tan and beautiful. When I joined Amazon 4 years ago, I ordered size 16. I turn 60 next month and find I can eat as I please and maintain a size 10! Don’t be too angry with me. My butt has shrunk. Once I had a big bottom and flat stomache. (all thru my forties) now I have a puffy tummy with no butt. Life is good when you find jeans to fit. For two years, I was wearing baggy size 12 as I still have wide hips. Happy birthday to me! (Note; I bought the tan colour. This review put wrong colour. I previously bought dark blue size 10.) Also. The best thing about Gloria V. Jeans is that they fit comfortably on my thick calves. Many brands I can’t wear because I have huge legs.

So soft and comfy
I was skeptical, but when I received them and put them on, they are honestly the best jeans I have tried in a while. I am 5’4 and 175lbs, and got a size 12. They’re perfect and comfortable, and so stinkin’ soft.

Well made jeans at a great price
I love these jeans because I find the fit to be very predictable and they hold up well. Interestingly, at different times, the prices vary widely and the colors that are available vary at different times too. I don’t know if there are actually several different sellers involved in supplying the inventory. In any event, I buy them when the price is lower and when they offer a color I need or like.
