Well, I wish I could score this 1/2 star higher because the quality warrants it.  I knock off 1/2 star because the sizing.  The Sheri series runs smaller in my opinion.  I can still wear a size 16 but in some other NYDJ series, I can wear a 14.  I wish there was more consistency.  Anyway, the jeans fit well, cover up any tummy flaws and are soft.  I've already worn them all day and they held their shape.  I haven't washed them yet so I can't say anything there.  One other thing, the rise is higher than what is shown on the model.
