Any woman over 45 knows that your belly increases in girth with every year you age!  The jeans fit great, are comfortable and easy to wear.  The ony problem I have is that you have to hang them wet or damp - no dryer.  In retrospect though, no dryer will keep the color longer.  They dry overnight hanging up.  I had never purchsed jeans that were this expensive, but NYDJ is my new brand for life!
