I'm with the Tropicalminnesota.  The size on these jeans are very different from the other Marilyn series.  Actually I thought that it was even smaller than the Sheri series which usually is a bit smaller but not near as much as these.  In fact, when I first put these on, I thought oh boy, I must've put on some weight because these are feeling much smaller than my other NYDJ jeans and I have several pairs in different series.  I will be returning these as not only are they uncomfortable in the sizing, the color is not quite what it is in the picture plus they're overpriced due to the size factor.
