"Good quality denim. Fits perfectly and retains its shape. I am a curvy petite and the 4 has enough room in the waist and thighs. I had the have the pants shortened as expected. Both petite and regular sizes are too long on me."
"I love the attractive look of the Marilyn jeans! Especially the high waist, straight leg fit. The new brown shade is just what I have been looking for, & will be perfect for Fall through Winter months . After washing once, I do have to have the size 6 shortened a bit ; but well worth it for the great overall fit & look ! It does not run large !! I hit the wrong circles below . After washing , the size is very good."
"Lovely color. Lovely fabric. Made well. Marilyns are my favorite fit. I’m 5’9” 120 lbs and size 4 fits perfectly. I do prefer the high waist cut. Thanks for offering it! Am happy to see there are now more colors to choose from as well! Yay!"
"I am 5’7” and weigh 159 lbs. I ordered the size 10 and these pants fit very well. The color is also exactly as pictured."
"The color is exactly what I wanted. . . not bright, not orangey, but a deep red with life to it. I've never owned a pair of red pants before. The sale price pushed me, and I am very happy with the fit and color."
"I love these jeans. I know exactly what size to order and how they will fit. I get excited when new colors are released."

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.
