"My new black jeans look fabulous on and when I washed them they came out perfectly black and fit me perfect. They retained the perfect shape and when I modeled them for my husband he loved them. I did have to have them shortened. These are a winner!"
"They are a nice pair of jeans. . . . a little too much stretch which makes them loose after one wearing. Go back to the original way they were made. They cost me more to tailor them than it does to buy them. . . the waist needed to be taken in and they are too long. Why don't you make lengths like the way men's manufactures do?"
"NYDJ is the best! I wear the same size of all the styles! Straight from the store or at garage sales. The quality is there no matter how many times they have been worn or washed! The best!"
"All good. A little long in keg fir me. Wish there were a way to customize lk length without shortening inseam which is perfect for me."
"They are the only ones I wear, even to the office, and People are always asking what brand they are."
"Pants are fantastic, as always. And I love ordering less than my usual size. But shipping from this website is awful. It was listed as "preparing to be shipped" for ten days, and finally arrived three weeks after I ordered. Meanwhile, I bought the same NYDJ pair from Amazon and they were on my doorstep less than 24 hours later. Same price too."
"As with all 30 plus pairs of your jeans, pants and shorts, I love them all. I keep buying them even though I have at least 10 plus pairs off jeans still with tags on them. Besides purchasing directly from you, if I am at Nordstroms, I cannot stop myself from purchasing more NYDJ Products."
"I love the Marilyn jeans; just a little too long."
"Marilyn jeans are my most favorite pants!! I know they are always going to fit!! I love them!!"
"Love them. I do need to have them hemmed. But I always have to do that."
The Marilyn Straight has a slightly higher rise and a clean straight leg that elongates the silhouette. It's cut true to size for most customers, with our signature Lift Tuck® Technology panel built into the waistband and seat to smooth and support without changing the fit through the leg. If you're between sizes, size down for a more fitted look through the hip or size up for extra ease.
Lift Tuck® is NYDJ's proprietary inner construction — a hidden shaping panel sewn into the waistband and seat that lifts, tucks, and smooths the tummy and rear without the bulk of external shapewear. It's built into the jean itself, so there's nothing extra to wear underneath.
Check the size chart on this page for the exact waist/hip measurements for this style. As a general guide: size down for a closer, more tailored fit.
The Missy/Regular Marilyn is cut for average height (typically 5'4"–5'8"). If you need a shorter or longer inseam, see our Marilyn Petite or Marilyn Tall collections, which use the same silhouette re-graded for different heights.
Machine wash cold, inside out, with like colors. Avoid high heat in the dryer — tumble low or hang dry — since excess heat breaks down the elastane fibers and reduces stretch recovery over time. Skip fabric softener, which coats the fibers and dulls stretch performance.
Yes. The Marilyn Straight is produced using earth-friendly methods that reduce consumption of water, chemicals, and energy compared to conventional denim processing.
