A versatile yet classic look that attracts and connects with the modern sensibility of consumers of all ages. I was glad to see the fabric content for these jeans was mostly cotton with some spandex. Some manufacturers today are using material made from recycled plastic bottles and while this may be good from an environmental standpoint, I prefer the cotton and think it will prove more durable in the long run. I purchased these jeans in Black and Scottsdale Wash. I like the high-rise style because it fits better at the waist than mid-rise. The jeans fit well but I found them to be a bit looser through the thigh than I expected. I am 5 feet tall. I was in a hurry when I ordered these jeans and inadvertently ordered one color in a 12 Short and the other in a 12 Petite.
When they arrived, the 12 Short was the length I expected but the 12 Petite was a regular length so I had to return them for a 12 Short. For me, the terms “Petite” and “Short” usually mean the same thing from an inseam perspective. So, you short ladies out there who need a short rather than regular inseam, be sure to choose “Short” rather than “Petite” when ordering these jeans. 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.
For reasons I do not know, Amazon suggested I buy a size two sizes larger than I usually buy in pants. I am so glad I did not pay attention to that recommendation. My usual size is perfect. These are an incredibly good deal for the price. I'm ordering more right now.
When you're selecting your size, if you are in the 5'4"- 5'5" foot height range, you should be aware that the regular in one size will fit exactly the same as the petite in the next bigger size, except they will be 2 inches shorter. I ordered both and held them up together; exactly the same size. For example, a size 6 regular fits exactly the same way as a size 8 petite. I found this anomaly in other Brands as well; for some reason, the petite size chart measurements are called bigger sizes. You may have noticed this brand did not give you a petite size chart. I mentioned this because different sizes are different prices in the same colors. Hopefully knowing that will help you save some money.
Gloria Vanderbilt is the only brand of pants that I can wear. They fit to my body without being tight and there is plenty of stretch for my curves. I find that they last for about five years or so before I need to purchase new pants. Other pants will have a huge gap at the back or the waistline will dig into my waist when I sit. This brand doesn't do that. Also, while the pricing goes up and down, it isn't hard to catch it on sale for about $20 a pair or less. Which makes it affordable. (I do not buy unless they are on sale).
The downsides of this brand is that the sizing varies widely from color to color, which is very odd. I would order a lot more colors if I could, but every color fits different and I don't want to deal with the hassle of ordering and returning. Even within the same color, the sizing will vary a bit. For example, I ordered three pairs of the same pants (I need four, but the seller won't let me purchase more) and two of them fit perfectly. One of them is significantly tighter than the other pairs, fitting more like a size 18 than a size 20, even thought the label says "20". But I can still fit in them, so I'll keep them.
I'm upset about not being able to order more because of the quantity limit. I figured if I waited a few days, I'd be able to order again. Nope. Not the case. They don't tell you when you can order more.
I especially like that the pockets are deep enough to hold my phone - unlike many many pants nowdays where the front pockets (and usually the back too) are about 1/2 to 2" short to hold a phone, and the top of it peeks out where it might get caught on something, or merely fall out. I hane an iPnone 11, and the pockets were just tall enough I could first angle the phone, then straighten it up inside so it was tucked in. The pants did not seem especially high-rise, however; in fact, they just barely came to my waist and I had to add a belt to keep them at the waist. That may just be my own size/shape, though..
First off, I want to start off by saying at first, I was EXTREMELY skeptical, primarily because of the price, these jeans are extremely cheap when compared to other jeans, and usually, in my experience, that's not a good thing. But HOLY HECK am I glad I bought them! These pants fit like they were made for me. Ladies, if you're big/tall, BUY THESE PANTS. THESE ARE THE ONES. I wear a 26W L, and I usually have the worst time finding pants because I'm wide, with a big butt/hips, AND I have big calves. My pants are always either too tight on the calves, or too tight around the thighs/butt, but these pants fit so well, that I had to write a review. I booted my laptop, just to write this review, because of how much I LOVE these pants. To my bigger ladies out there, do yourselves a favor, and stop looking, because these are the ones.
