Gloria VanderbiltWomen's Amanda Classic High Rise Tapered Jean Plus Size

I've looked everywhere for these. I had 1 pair years ago and lived then- wore them until they were threads.I LOVE that these come up to my belly button so my midriff bulge is more hidden. I love they are smooth to the touch. I love that they aren't still like regular jeans and bend and move easily with me. I love that the button hole is perfect size and easy to button because I have trouble with my hands. I love that they aren't saggy butt.Now that I have found them here, I WILL be ordering again. I didn't know they came in so many colors! Woohoo! No more old lady elastic waistband pants with gathers.

The jeans fit this new mama perfectly. I’m currently 9 weeks postpartum and ordered these jeans in hopes that I wouldn’t feel like a frumpy mom when I go out with my family. The waist is pretty high which is nice because it currently holds in my belly. I’ll be ordering these again, hopefully in a smaller size after I attempt to lose the baby weight.

I was very excited to receive these jeans because I figured the fit would be perfect because I had bought them at a local store in the dark wash. The Amanda Jean details were exactly what I had purchased so I believed that it would be a perfect fit. No way are these the same jeans. They are wide all around. NOT tapered at all. Almost 33 1/2 inches in length. So disappointed. Back they go.

First of all, this item, the Classic Fit Straight Leg Amanda is actually a tapered-leg jean so if you are expecting the straight leg, fit, it's not quite the same. The fit is as close to the original Chelsea Wash straight legs Amanda as I have found this year.Secondly, whatever has happened to the GV Amanda line of jeans? They used to fit beautifully, the Chelsea Wash had a lovely cut and weight to them with a little bit of stretch for movement, but mostly the fit was in the cut of the fabric, not in the stretch. Now, it's impossible to find that jean- everything Amanda is a thinner, flimsier fabric, and has too much spandex. The fit is now made by stretching the jeans around you, so they cling in a very unflattering way. Spandex stretches out while you are wearing it and stays stretched out, does not spring back. Eventually, these jeans begin to sag in the behind and waist, so after two hours of wearing, they aren't the same jeans you put on! I'm not sure what is going on with the seat- it doesn't fit like a pair of pants, it fits like those stretch jeggings that have no rear shaping and look saggy.And- the black pair I ordered had the higher waist, but the identical size indigos had a lower rise. A change of color should not be a change of styling...So, in sum- cheaper fabric, stretch but not that sharp fit Amandas used to have, and saggy after an hour or so.You will probably need to wash these a few times, then do some alternations to get a nicer fit. At least these aren't skinny legs- they do more or less fit like jeans.

These pants!! What can I say about them except THANK GOD they exist. I bought my first pair randomly (and cheaply) at Costco. When I got home I was surprised to find that they fit perfectly. And now I know I can order them from Amazon and get that same perfect fit, any time I want. The length is right, the waist is not too low, they're well made...I love these pants!!

Im 5'5" a little over 35.5" in waist, 45" hips, 24" diameter thighs and 16" diameter legs/calves, no thigh gap.What drew me to these pants were that they were high waisted and on a lightning deal for like 20 bucks. I didnt think much about the cut beyond the waist but figured tapered legs would be attractive.I think the deal breaker for me is the style. They look kind of like straight legs on me, and since I have large thighs it's just more fabric than I want in the leg area. I dont like how the fabric bunches behind my knee and though this isn't entirely on the jeans I don't think they're doing my bum any favors.I did go a size larger than i probably should have with the 16, I just hated the idea of the top of the jeans pinching my stomach. I also got the regular instead of the short but I dont think the tapers sharp enough for the extra length to make a difference here, meaning to give shape to my legs.I think the taper's only really attractive if your thighs arent super disproportionate to your legs. Maybe like 2 or 3 inches max wider diameter in the thighs in relation to your calves. At least for the fit I want. I was gonna send these back in exchange for some 14's but I think I'll have to go with one of the other cuts to get the fit I'm looking for.Besides the fit I think these were a good buy for the price. Nice stretch and color. not as thick as some denim blends, a bit thicker than like denim leggings. Comfortable to move around in, liked fit at the waist. Better than most things you'd find between 20 - 30. If I had to recommend based on fabric and comfort vs leg fit I'd recommend.

Muy buena calidad. Orman muy bien. No tienen un corte skinny pero tampoco muy ancho, son rectos. La talla corresponde, no hay que pedir una más arriba ni abajo. Son súper cómodos por su corte relativamente alto, el botón ya cerrado llega al ombligo o quizá un poquito arriba. Los tengo en varios colores. La relación precio calidad es muy buena porque duran y duran. Los colores son exactos a como se ven en las fotos. Los súper recomiendo.

They have a waist that is smaller than the hips. They aren't too tight round the posterior. They don't slip down and they wear well.I don't understand why this is so difficult to find in UK jeans but it is, even the really expensive ones. I usually buy some when I visit my daughter in Florida but obviously not to be this year.A word of warning to UK buyers - check your actual measurements before buying, US sizing is different. If there is a W after the size it means they are for the fuller figure. Usually if you're 18 in UK you'll be 16 in US.Still my favourite jeans!

If you want perfect fitting jeans it is Gloria Vanderbilt. No gaping at the waist, snug fit over the bottom, enough stretchy and great look. You may wait a couple of weeks for them to come over from the USA - but the wait is worth it. I don't know why but the USA trousers always fit so much better than the ones that are available in the UK.

Love these jeans which I first found on a trip to Florida and for ages I couldn't source them in the UK. However, bear in mind they are in American sizes. The first pair I ordered (thinking they were UK sizes) was a huge 14 so I had to return. The size 10 is a perfect fit. I'm just pleased I don't have to pay the air fare to get them now.

I bought a pair of these jeans after a very helpful shop assistant recommended them to me, whilst shopping in the USA a few years ago.I was so pleased to find them at a similar price with a reasonable shipping price.I wish I could buy them in the UK as I can’t find any as comfortable.
