I was sure these would be the holy grail of NYDJ, because I've tried the Alina, Sheri, Ami, Rochelle, Lorena, and Millie pull-on with varying degrees of success.  They ended up being just okay---they seem to run large, which I guess is fine if you like the totally slouchy look, but it slightly defeats the purpose to have NYDJ jeans if they don't hug you in the right spots to streamline your body.  As per usual, I ordered one size down, but these were noticeably big through the thigh area.  It's a shame, because the hip slenderizing power is not bad, but the thighs looked huge in comparison.  I could grab loose inches of fabric from each thigh region.

The denim is a decent weight, not too thin and stretchy like some of the Ami colors I've tried.  Everyone please take note:  the fit varies wildly depending on the COLOR of the denim you pick.  Some of the colored denim (random colors like Currant, and some standard colors like Black) is too stretchy and thin, if that makes sense.  So instead of streamlining your body, the denim ends up creating more lumps than you really have.  And even worse, you get "front panty lines" around the leg holes of your underpantaloons.  Unfortunately, its a bit of a crapshoot, because I never know which colors are likely to have this issue.  For the record, my best successes have been with "normal" denim fabrics, like Rinse and Enzyme, which seem thicker.

The Uzes color in these boyfriend jeans is not terrible, but less cute than I would have expected.  The patches and wear marks are a little too neat and contrived, rather than authentic.  This, coupled with the huge thigh bagginess, is why I sent these back immediately.

I'm hopeful NYDj will come out with other distressed washes, though.  Denim should look lived in!
