Amazing Jeans!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love the fit of these jeans. The length looks fantastic with boots and I LOVE the dark wash! They look and feel really high quality.

Too small
I didn’t read reviews before purchasing a final sale item and I guess that’s on me. But these are no where near fitting me. I have so many pairs of Madewell jeans, and I bought my most common size. I have jeans in a smaller size even but I decided to go with my most common Madewell size. Oh boy. These are so small. I could barely get them up my hips without a wiggle. I am so disappointed that I bought these. Madewell failed us being “true to size” on this one!

Great jean
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have three pairs of balloons. Curvys fit me way better than regular fit. I like the green dale wash

Great
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like these. I am 5'8 and the tall are the perfect length. I think they are pretty true to size.

Flattering and comfy
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love the wash and fit of these jeans! I did have to get them hemmed a little (I’m 5’ 3”) but cannot wait to get them back and wear them!

Love the look, fit is a little off
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought these in a size 27 and the Rinse wash, I love the color and length of these at 5’8. They have a great shape and are quite flattering. I think they are great for winter and transition months, good to wear with boots or loafers. The fit is a little odd, as the waist seems on the smaller side but there’s quite a bit of extra fabric in the crotch area. For reference I am ~122lbs, with a 29” waist. I’m hoping they will tighten a bit after washing, as I bought them as Final Sale.
