"This was a poorly made item size 8 and very tight in the waist, the end to end waistline does not meet, and very short, the inseam not 32" as stated. I will not be ordering agsin from you, you did not send me a return label to return your product, extremely disappointed, I feel I am stucked with your merchandise."
"Highly recommended to buy from NYDJ!!! Once I found my go to size and style I buy in multiple colors!!! They are my favorite place for jeans, slacks and even outstanding tops!! Try them once and you will fall in love!!!"
"i think i ordered the Marilyn but now looking there are many different Marilyn's and with different stretch. overall, they are very good quality but all to hard to send back. I think i could have gone down a size I am usually a 10 or 12 so ordered a 10"
"The jeans fit very well, but I knew when I ordered them that I would have to pay to have them hemmed. I typically buy the ankle jeans since they actually are almost long enough. I needed a longer length jean for the fall and winter season."
"Extremely disappointed. I've ordered a couple of pairs of Marilyn jeans over the years and been very satisfied. However, this pair is definitely a lesser quality fabric and poor fit. These also do not have the front panel and do not seem to have the fit and tuck. I've noticed a decline in quality and fit in the 3 products I purchased this year. Sorry to say after so many years, I'm done with NYDJ."
"I am not happy with my Marilyn jeans. I have bought NYDJ jeans for years from Dillards or Anthony’s and have always been pleased. These appear to be seconds. The zipper gaps. I am 5 foot 7 inches 127 pounds and these are a size 6. If I had known you were selling seconds, I would’ve been happy to pay the full price and get first run product"
"I order exclusively Marilyn cut. The fit is all over the map. These jeans in cooper are SHORT in the back creating serious gap. Each new pair I order is a surprise how it’s going to fit. The color is great, material awesome but the overall fit of this cut is inconsistent."
"I’ve never found jeans I like as well as NYDJ! That’s all I buy! They’re comfortable and look nice! I’m glad I got them!"
"they are ddarker them i thought,,,,and the style im ised to has not as big leg diameter. also 5 inches longer than i need. i ordered shert slim leg jeans on qvc last nigth. ill roll the, up. and deal with the full leg diameter. im not real happy with them. nothing wrong with the, they just arent my style. sorry i got them"
"Denium in my previous pair of same style was much softer. After two washings, this new pair is still stiff. However, fit is fabulous."
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.
