"The Marilyn style works well for me. I like the cut and the style. I also love this faded blue color. I have one pair but wanted another. NYDJ are the only jeans I buy anymore. I have never had a problem with them fitting well."

"I recently lost weight and had to replace some jeans. I love how NYDJ jeans fit my new shape. I am quite tall and they actually fit! I had my old pairs for more than 8 years and would still be wearing them if not for the weight loss. Keep up the great work making us ladies look great."
"Excellent fit, leg length needed a slight fix adjust but the jeans fit my waist, hips looked fabulous. Also the style went with my boots and sandals, either or. I think the Marilyn jeans might just be my favorite pair even if they needed a tad of adjusting!"
"These are great too. This is the second or third review I’ve done, so I’ll tell you about the rinse on this. I wasn’t sure I’d like it but these have become my favorite rinse. No idea why, but I’ve worn these most all summer. I’d love to know what it is, but the fit is great and they go well with most everything. I grab this pair first!!"
"Comfortable & stylish jeans. I love the color of the denim & it's a great place to get good quality jeans for a great price."
"LOVE the color of these jeans and fit absolutely perfect everywhere on my body--i don't wear heels anymore but they look great with sandals and/or loafers"
"Your sizing is off. I'm a size 4, 5'4". . . my pants arrived and the legs are WAY TOO LONG. I did not see on your website that I had a choice. Nor, sadly, was I able to reach you by phone. I left a number & no one called me back. I had purchased a pair of NYDJ jeans years ago in a department store and loved them. Now, my great deal because they were on sale, will cost me dearly to have the legs altered."
"As always, I love the Marlyn style and have worn it for years. But next time I order Ill try one size smaller. I've lost some weight, and now I'm happy to say my usual size doesn't fit anymore. 😄"
"My favorite pants! I have worn them fo years! I love all NYDJ clothes, I won't wear any other brands! NYDJ clothes last forever because they're so well made!!"
"Material is a little thicker than expected. Colour is good. Leg opening seems to be wider than my other Marilyn jeans. Length is 32 ins and is barely long enough. Not very flattering cut overall."
The Marilyn Straight has a slightly higher rise and a clean straight leg that elongates the silhouette. It's cut true to size for most customers, with our signature Lift Tuck® Technology panel built into the waistband and seat to smooth and support without changing the fit through the leg. If you're between sizes, size down for a more fitted look through the hip or size up for extra ease.
Lift Tuck® is NYDJ's proprietary inner construction — a hidden shaping panel sewn into the waistband and seat that lifts, tucks, and smooths the tummy and rear without the bulk of external shapewear. It's built into the jean itself, so there's nothing extra to wear underneath.
Check the size chart on this page for the exact waist/hip measurements for this style. As a general guide: size down for a closer, more tailored fit.
The Missy/Regular Marilyn is cut for average height (typically 5'4"–5'8"). If you need a shorter or longer inseam, see our Marilyn Petite or Marilyn Tall collections, which use the same silhouette re-graded for different heights.
Machine wash cold, inside out, with like colors. Avoid high heat in the dryer — tumble low or hang dry — since excess heat breaks down the elastane fibers and reduces stretch recovery over time. Skip fabric softener, which coats the fibers and dulls stretch performance.
Yes. The Marilyn Straight is produced using earth-friendly methods that reduce consumption of water, chemicals, and energy compared to conventional denim processing.
