Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

EDIT: LOVE THE FIT, but....they FADE faster than my Gloria Vanderbilt straight leg did. I wash in COLD water, the same way I did the Gloria Vanderbilt jeans, yet they look lighter black after much fewer washes. In fact, Vanderbilt jeans I've had for YEARS are darker than Lee's I have washed maybe five times. I only changed from Vanderbilts because they discontinued the style I liked. So knocking down to TWO STARS. I like BLACK jeans because they look dressier, but not when they look beat up and faded about a handful of washes (in COLD WATER). ___________________ I HAVE BEEN SEARCHING...for a replacement to the Amanda STRAIGHT LEG (they're TAPERED now) jeans by Gloria Vanderbilt. Finding a great-fitting, high-waisted pair of jeans seems like finding a pearl in an oyster...only harder. I read the reviews and wasn't sure WHAT to expect. You don't know til you try them on. They just arrived, I quickly tried them and they are comparable in fit and style to the old straight leg Amanda's I bought for years. I may even like them better! The legs fit just a tad tighter than the Amanda's but they are still straight leg (I like to wear with ankle boots with the boots in the INSIDE of the jeans). I wear with boots with a two inch heel and these seem perfect without hemming. (I am 5'4" and got the 8, I weigh about 153-155).. I am in my sixties and like a high waist, a jean that pulls you in a bit (yay, spandex!) and the bit of stretch these have, I find flattering. So if you're looking for something flattering and not interested in the skinny, low cut jeans, yet don't want jeans that look like baggy old lady jeans, these might work well :-).
