These are my fifth pair of Judy Blues; every pair has been different in style. I do like these, but they are not as stretchy as the other pairs I have recently purchased. I am glad I did not size down. I am very pleased with the design of the jeans, the fit, and overall, the jeans in general. They shipped in a timely fashion, and I got a discount, which was a huge bonus. I have no complaints and am very pleased with my purchase.
