Okay ladies, this is the truth! Notice on ads that some clothing lines claim their jeans/leggings go right to the waist. They show a belly button, then on each side of the body the curve area from hips to mid drift and the model weighs like 63 pounds soaking wet. Well, guess what. These go to your waist, your real waist. And even a little above without creating the muffin top! Read: No muffin top! I am 160 pounds. A real woman's body. I now wear 6 pairs of these, no, not all at the same time, duh! And the tops, they are not like rubber bands. Honest!

NOT-just this brand. Ok, maybe Gloria Vanderbilt. I have several pairs of her jeans and they, too, fit!! Read. They fit. The allow for the waist!

I bought thinking I would probably return them because of the fit..I've been having problems getting things to look good on me. I'm a size 18, 216 pounds and this look is difficult to pull off without the right fitting legging. What a wonderful surprise! Not only did they look great, they made my legs look longer and thinner! The wider waistband helps with my muffin top and gives me a flatter look when I put a sweater top over these. The fabric has the ability to stretch without bagging. There is a tummy control panel in these that I did not expect to find. Heavy duty construction and a thicker fabric hides all my lumps and bumps and gives me a smoother appearance. The legs are pretty long and I am about 5'7" and they seem to have a baggy look to them...good with high heels for those fancy nights out! I haven't felt this sexy in years!

Simply the best leggings ever. Period. The waistband is substantial and over in inch in width, lays flat, feels secure at the waist. Fabric very comfortable. I just ordered two more pairs, will live in them all winter. I also have Patagonia leggings, but these feel more like pants.

At the end of the first day I wore this, the waistband started to roll down. When I took it off, I saw why. The waistband elastic stitching was coming apart from the pants. It was then that I saw the quality of the workmanship was really shoddy. I am not surprised it fell apart. But I am disappointed. For that price for leggings, I would have expected a well-made, long-lasting garment. It is a shame, because the material and cut/fit were outstanding.

These by far are the best leggings. I've tried various other brands, Miracle Body just to mention one, the fit is dead on! I took a chance and ordered a size 8 which I wear in NYDJ's, however, due to a medical condition I have gained the dreaded 10 lbs and they fit. The waist is perfect as is the length the material is soft. Overall, these are the best leggings!

I really wanted to like these leggings. At first glance, they seemed perfect -- nice weight, flattering fit. But in direct sunlight the black fabric looked shiny, due to the nylon spandex showing. I know that kind of shine is hard to control, but it can be done, and should have been at this price point. May not bother someone else, but I wouldn't have felt right in them.

These are not jeans at all; they are typical heavy leggings. They are ok but not what I expected. The fit is quite small.

The leggings fit beautifully, not too tight but really just snug enough. Just a little bit long (need to tuck it in into boots or wear heels). It makes me look tall and sleek (according to my friends and co-workers).

Way more money than I wanted to spend, but at least I can say they are really good leggings. They come all the way to my waist and smooth the area very nicely. A sweater dress looked great with them. I'm 5'6" and normally wear a 8 or 10. I got a 10 and I would say they are a tad long, but fine since I wear them with boots. The top of them fit too perfectly to send them back for an 8.

Wow, great legging/pant! Finally someone gets it right! No pockets, very little seaming, nice no-roll waistband and these "hold" you in without constriction! I bought these in multiples! Thank you Zappos and NYDJ!

I do love NYDJ brand and have quite a few pairs of jeans by them. However, I was a tiny bit disappointed in the fit of this style. They are beautifully made, but the stitching around the waist seemed to be too tight and when I put the leggings on, it felt like the seams could possibly break. The style was nice, but even though I frequently wear size 4 (these did fit my legs perfectly) in NYDJ, I sent them back and would have gotten a 6 if they had had them in stock. Nicer look to these leggings than the thin ones you frequently find in the stores sometimes.

These are very nice leggings, but they should be for the price. They are a medium to heavier weight. I feel very good in them, and I like the tummy panel in the front. I have no complaints...except for the price. They are nice, but I also got another pair of leggings for under an amount...and they are nice too, just not as heavy.

I purchased these pants for two reasons. One, NYDJ is an excellent brand. Their jeans have always been excellent quality and fit. Two, because of Janet D.'s review. She is absolutely right about our real waist and real body shapes. Excellent review Janet! Thanks for taking the time to review these pants. I love them and will soon own multiples, too.

I read so many positive reviews on these before plunking down the $79 on them. When I got them, I absolutely loved them! Very thick material that keeps everything in, smooth and makes you look lean! A note on the colors: I ordered almost every color. Molasses I sent back because it looks like it is trying to decide if it is brown or black. Charcoal was too dark a grey and brandy wine too dark a wine (I wanted more of a burgundy). I preferred the black and ganache and nightfall and kept all those 3 colors. I have 2 pair of the black, I love them so much. Ganache is dark, dark brown and nightfall is a dark, dark navy (almost too dark a navy). A note on the sizes: I wear a 6 typically in other clothes with an hour glass shape the waist). I'm 5'9" and roughly 150 lbs. In these I ordered the 0, 2, and 4 to see which would fit best. I ended up keeping the 0's because I liked the extra support in my hip and butt area (the 2's and 4's had extra fabric looseness in that area which I knew would stretch with time). I could have easily kept the other two sizes as well but felt even more streamlined in the 0's. So order smaller. Also, I'm long legged and did not like the 31". They gathered too much at the heel. The 30" was sufficient, gathered a little. I do not like cropped leggings as they just feel like they were not long enough for me. The 30" were perfect in these and make you look very long and lean when paired with a pair of heels. LOVE these. My Christmas gift to myself.

These fit very smoothly and are thick enough to wear with both longer tunics and shorter sweaters, unlike some leggings that feel like you're walking around in tights. I'm 5'7", 140 lbs and have a "runner's build" (not curvy) and the size 6 fits perfectly.

Ok ladies these are the real deal. I was not happy about the price tag but read the reviews and took a chance. These leggings are the best ever! I wear or 4 or a 6 and I ordered the 6. They fit perfect! Great for wearing with boots and your tummy, oh what tummy. Unbelievable! I love them! Worth more then their weight in gold! Buy them now so you can be as happy as I am!

These are not cheap, but as I always say: you get what you pay for. The fabric is soft and sleek and does not get baggy. I drove two hours north to see a play, wore them for two hours of the performance, and then drove two hours home. When I got out of the car, they still looked like they were fresh from the laundry. One reviewer said she looks slimmer: true. They wash up nicely. I had to hem them because I'm vertically challenged, but that was easy to do. Only complaint is that I wore them on a 60-degree day, and I felt a bit too warm. They would be PERFECT for travel in a cool climate.

These are the best leggings I have ever owned. And maybe they are a bit more of a legging, nice warm fabric and you can't see through it. I hope NYDJ makes these again and we need navy and brown and a stone color, please. I wear a 6 and all that was left was an 8 so I bought them and they are fine. I would buy another pair if I could find them.

Love these leggings! Not the usual thin, stretchy kind. Fabric is substantial. Fit is close but not tight. Waistband is wide and fits well so you never feel like they are slipping down. It says the length is 29 inches but my pair was longer and had them hemmed to 29. They are so very comfortable. I bought another pair as it's so hard to find comfy, well-made, good fitting pants like these.

I love this brand. I also have jeans and a skirt from Not My Daughter's and I am quite pleased with the fit and quality. I am not sure if there is vanity sizing happening with this company, but the product runs large. I am usually a 10 or a 12, and an 8 fit me best with the leggings and skirt. The front panel really is slimming if you have a tummy like I do. Completely comfortable and stylish with a tunic or a dress, or a tee shirt and hoodie. Have fun and look fantastic wearing these leggings to work or play.

Great fabric weight! It is hard to find leggings that are not paper thin! They hold the tummy in nicely without discomfort. They do run small. I am an 8, but bought these in a 10 and they fit perfectly.

These are the best set of leggings I own and worth every penny! They feel more like a pair of pants which is important at 40 and sit on my natural waist which helps with muffin top, etc. I did go down a size from my jean size and they fit perfectly.

Quality leggings. The fabric is thick and does not bag or sag. Waistband actually hits at the waist, and does not roll. The extra spandex panel in front definitely slims. Takes 10lbs off instantly.

I love these. They're thick (warm), waist fits and is made well. I'm so happy they came up to my natural waist! The leggings are a bit long which is not a problem. I plan to wear them with socks and boots (and a skirt). Now I have my outfit for Thanksgiving. Yeah.

Finally, a great pair of leggings! They have all of the things leggings should have - a nice, high, smooth (no roll) waistband, good stretch, great fabric - substantial but not too thick, matte black, well-sewn seams and easy care (machine wash cold, hang dry). I am 5' 7" and slim, so a size 2 was a good choice for me. My daughter is 5' 4" and curvier, but a size 4 was great for her. These leggings stay up when you sit down and are so comfortable. I plan to buy more!
