Hi Terri. I wouldn’t ever wash my jeans in hot water because it’s not good for the other fibers besides cotton like Lycra and Spandex that most jeans have these days. That will actually harm those fibers and cause the jeans to stretch out more. I’m not trying to encourage you to spend more for jeans than you’re comfortable with, but I will say that the jeans that tend to stretch out with wear usually are the cheaper ones. I’d look for jeans with a composition of about 90–95% cotton, a small percentage of polyester and 1-2% elastane. I also never put my jeans in the dryer because it also damages the elastane fibers.

It’s frustrating buying jeans especially with the vanity sizing. I’ve always been a 4 petite. Now I am having to go to a 2p. Another problem is the stretching out. I don’t have a lot in the rear so if it stretches out it looks like I have a dirty diaper. Lol. I ordered Macy’s NY &Co wide legs jeans and I have to return them because they stretched out a lot while trying them on. Yet a bootleg jean from same company is great. No stretching out. The thing I like about Macy’s is they do make a 28 inseam.

I have been wearing straight leg jeans forever. I wore skinny leg jeans but didn’t really like them. They made my thighs look bigger. Lately I am loving bootleg jeans and want to try a wide leg if it’s proportioned to my body. I ordered a wide leg from Loft. Hopefully it will be a keeper.

Do you think it’s a good idea to try to shrink jeans in hot water? I have two jeans I wish I could shrink because I like them. One is expensive NYDJ and the other one cheap. I’d like to know if anyone has tried it

I am a jeans junkie, and I like all styles. But I know I can’t wear all of them well! I have all different priced jeans, but I always keep the better quality ones and end up getting rid of the others, But to save money, sometimes I go to a consignment shop and find a better quality brand. Thanks for the printable sheet – having those measurement will be very helpful.
