Not into the graphic or word tees or too much color/pattern so I know what I like is different than what most do. I definitely see a decline in fit and quality which is more frustrating than anything else. If I saw walls of simple linen or cotton pieces in a variety of colors and silhouetttes (And prints) that actually fit nicely I’d be content.

I got my usual size 4 and a size 6 to try because reviews were leaning towards it running small.<br /><br />The size 4 fits but it's snug around the rib cage. The 6 is more comfortable in the rib cage but way too big in the bust. I do really like it but I'm not sure what to do. Keep the 4 and hope it loosens a bit while wearing it? Or spend the extra money to have the bust taken in on the 6? Or just return them altogether?Miss JRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09202937122241669212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-16344208302452357362019-04-07T18:13:19.653-04:002019-04-07T18:13:19.653-04:00Oops, I missed the email but they have another 24 ...Oops, I missed the email but they have another 24 to send me so I’ll be able to compare.

I was hoping for something to wow me, but everything is so casual, so basic, so extremely average IMO. <br /><br />I keep trying, but I seem to be among the formerly-obsessed J Crew customers who have lost interest. I keep hoping the next rollout willl change my mind. ruffleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01121478944826442351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-65232655138263303482019-04-07T16:29:04.034-04:002019-04-07T16:29:04.034-04:00That is a good point shopgrrrl!

As expected the rise on these is a little higher, and the legs are narrower. It’s a big enough difference that I feel these are much more slenderizing whereas the Point Sur are just comfortable.

I hope you can get an exchange from Everlane when they start getting some returns. However, if they can’t help you, I honestly think you’ll only ever notice the leg length issue when standing in front of a mirror with your feet together. When you’re sitting or walking it won’t be noticeable to you or anyone else.shopgrrrlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05256902910449845128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-81493824005643028032019-04-07T09:27:12.090-04:002019-04-07T09:27:12.090-04:00They both suit you.

I prefer the pair with the uneven legs - I guess you could hope for a return, or see if Everlane would discount enough to pay for a tailor?<br /> <br />I could use a pair of pants with uneven legs, since my one leg is longer than the other. I always think pants are uneven, but it is because I am uneven! pbanoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12600851804646549370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-13819468816299943832019-04-07T07:47:17.411-04:002019-04-07T07:47:17.411-04:00Yes I did post.

My regular Jcrew toothpick size works the best EXCEPT the leg lengths are not exactly the same and at the slightly cropped length it’s very obvious to me, and of course theyre sold out.<br />The size down fits tight and anyone approaching 50 and older might remember lying on a bed to put your jeans up and zipper them, that’s how these are. But the denim is all cotton and sturdy, it reminds me of washed Levi’s (not as stiff as raw denim) so they may give a size with wear. The cut is def reminiscent of the late 70s/early 80s high waisted jeans. The darker color is a traditional blue jean color. I really love them and hope I can figure out the leg length/size issue. <br />I do have to compare them to the Point Sur wide leg crop denim I got this winter. Something about these is more flattering, I think due to the rise and width of the leg. <br />The size up still fits but it’s a little looser around the waist and the leg seems much larger.
