“I got lucky! Great fit, very minor issues”

★★★★☆

written by rachel.m on 24/09/2014

I was skeptical about ordering from here based on a lot of bad reviews I read, but I decided to go ahead with it because there were just as many great reviews and they all seemed legit - plus it had been reviewed by the New York Times website and a few other reputable sites, so I figured it at least wasn't a scam and I decided to take the risk. And I'm really happy with the result!

Obviously based on all the bad reviews, this company is a bit of a hit and miss, but I seem to have gotten lucky. I ordered a pair of the black Body Hugger jeans, and I customised them to have a really high waist (as most so-called 'high waisted' jeans from stores barely reach my bellybutton). When I first took them out of the package I laughed because the waistband looked INCREDIBLY high, like it could touch my chin. And they also looked like they would be too big on me, so I was preparing for the worst. But then I put them on, and they fit perfectly! They look great and they're just as high as I was hoping, and they don't dig in! The waistband is nice and soft, and the fabric is really stretchy.

The only minor issue I had was that they used the normal khaki/yellowish thread they use on blue jeans, whereas these are black jeans so they were supposed to use black thread. But it still looks great even with the coloured thread, so I wouldn't bother getting another pair made for such a small problem.

Also the fabric itself is a little bit thinner than I was expecting, but I figure considering it's coming into summer in Australia that's probably a good thing!

As for service, I have no complaints. I had no reason to get in touch with them so I haven't really got much to say in terms of customer service - however they did send me an email letting me know once the jeans had gone into production, which was nice.

All in all I would definitely order from here again, they are affordable and you can't really get any better than having jeans that are literally made to fit you!
