Jackpot!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I surprised my daughter with these knowing she can be a bit opinionated and she loved them! Yay! They look great on her and the color is nice too. I like that there is a little bit of distressing and the style is fun.

Horrible
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Definitely only appropriate for tall people — they don’t even look like the same jeans as on the model. There’s so much extra room in the crotch and the balloon shape doesn’t taper, just suddenly comes out after the lower waist making the fabric . Very unflattering and of course final sale as jeans so often are from Madewell.

Disappointed
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So I own an old-ish pair of Madewell ballon jeans. And those are my absolute favorite. They fit perfect everywhere! No gap in the waist, hips and thighs looks awesome and length is perfect. When I saw that Madewell selling ballon jeans again I purchased immediately! But this pair has nothing to do with one I own. Huge gap on the waist, they way to tight in bum, hips area, they fit uncomfortably weird in the crotch area. Plus too long(kinda ok, I just cut extra length off). Such a disappointment.

Denim Perfection
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought these jeans just one week ago and have lived in them. They’re soft and the proper thickness (I despise thin stretchy denim). Fit true to my ‘always’ Madewell size. Flattering with a sneaker, a chunky boot or a loafer. No noticeable shrink after drying.

My fav jeans
These jeans are amazing I am 5’5” and got my usual size 26- they are so comfortable and flattering. Not too balloony. Love to wear with bodysuits or a cropped top

favorite pair
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These jeans became my favorite pair! I read the reviews before I hit purchase and I'm glad I did because I sized up, had I not listened to the previous buyers I would've gotten stuck with a final sale pair of too small jeans. These jeans are so comfortable and soft, but definitely go a size up.

So small:(
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am consistently a 27 in Madewell and this is super tight. Size up definitely! Like the light blue color but the fit was just ok if youre not tall or slender. Feels a little bulky.
