Delores - Wide Leg Denim Jeans in Mid Wash Blue

The sizing on these is ridiculous! I went for one size larger as other reviews have said but realistically need to go up 2 or even 3 sizes for them to fit, at which point there would be no way they'll fit on the waist. Absolutely gutting from l&y with sizing again!

I brought a pair of these jeans several years ago and loved them, so when those pair were finally worn out, I was excited to buy some new ones, this time getting both blue and black. However, I was left very disappointed when I received them because although I had brought the exact same size that I was wearing a week ago, they now no longer fit me. This is despite no changes being made to the size chart to reflect the fact that they have made their sizes smaller. As a midsized tall girl that has an incredibly had time finding any jeans that fit me, I am extremely sad that I can't even buy a pair of jeans that I have previously owned and have them fit me! And to make matters worse I now have to pay $40 AUD and drive 10Km's just to be able to return them. I will likely just have to buy them again a size up because my options are already so limited, but think you need to update your size chart to reflect the fact you have shrunk the sizes, because I now can't even zip them up. I now have to purchase these at the non-sale price, so it's going to cost me even more. Also, l love how the the review rating is stuck on 5 stars and I can't even change it!

Just to open that L&Y is where most of my wardrobe is from. I love the brand and most of the clothing but my experience with these jeans was not a good one!

I bought these jeans in year or so ago and they were too long for me, so I wore them a few times and then decided they needed to be professionally shortened. I didn't get around to it straight away and finally sorted them to wear a few months back. The 4th time I wore then they split down the pocket, like they'd been sliced and also tore in the crotch area. I was out and about at the time so wasnt ideal. Went to a L&Y store as (after a back and forth via email) I was eventually told I could swap them out but the sizings have definitely changed on this style of jeans, totally different fit to the ones I already had so decided to get a different style and to get my Delores repaired. Paid to get them repaired and they have torn in a totally new place. It doesn't make any sense why the fabric is tearing so easily. Maybe that's why the sizing has changed but I definitely wont be purchasing another pair of the Delores and would go for another pair of the Carter or Cole instead.
