This is my third pair of NYDJ. In the mid-seventies I enjoyed the 3" zippers in my jeans, but two children, surgery, and decades later, the tiny zipper that needs a plier to pull it up does not do it for me. These jeans are cute, perhaps a little higher and larger in the waist than I'd like, but at least you can sit down without worrying about where your pants are in relation to your top. Yes, I've come to the point where it is comfort over beauty, but these jeans let you feel like you have both.

As this is probably at least the 14th pair of NYDJ I have ordered I was very surprised to find them very small. I ordered the same size I always do but this particular pair does not fit. The blue denim in this same cut fits as I expected. I will try ordering a size larger in the black to see how they fit.

These are my only NYDJ crops that are cotton/spandex only. They are very very stretchy. They went on tight, and now I'm sitting writing this, and they're stretching out. I ordered my usual size and they're fine. Hope they're as great as all my other NYDJ jeans. So far so good. Simple, plain, jeans styling. I like the slightly wider pant leg (16" at the bottom of the capri.) In a size 18 it's much more flattering to have some width! I have thin calves, as well, so I need some pant to balance my hips. This works fine.

These gloves look and fit like those "magic stretch" gloves you can get for a couple of dollars. I wear a ring size 4 so I got the S/M and they were snug, but I wasn't interested in trying the larger size.
