These pants are great! I first tried them when I was bloated so they were a bit tight, but I expect it to look great on a normal day.

I bought these pants a bit large than my normal size to get them tailored to my size. I am excited to see how fit when I get this done. But the quality is great.

These are incredible jeans.
I am happy I didn't size down as some reviews suggest, because I ordered 28/29 (at the gap I wear size 26 so this matter of sizing was a bit confusing!) And I don't think the smaller size would have fit. There are numerous reviews attesting to the jeans' awesomeness, and it's all true, but I'll add the caveat I found: if you have a muscular disease the denim may actually be too heavy. I have multiple sclerosis and I thought I had suffered a drastic setback in my health, until I took the jeans off and realized they are just too heavy for my legs! No problem, I'll still wear them (yay exercise!) But for shorter periods. The denim is quite thick obviously.

Bad girl denim is a wardrobe staple!

I love the fit and feel of these jeans. They are a little bigger than I expected, mostly in the thighs. But I think they'll shrink up a bit in the dryer.

I’m between 2X and 3x. These are the petite jeans in 30” leg and 38-39” waist. They definitely have some give and I’m not sure that I couldn’t have sized down again although maybe the waist wouldn’t fit. Anyway, I LOOOVE these jeans and am gutted I only just had the courage to try time because now they are sold out because they are the best quality and so comfortable to wear.

The black runs a bit smaller and tighter than the blue on these jeans. I still like them though, they are a great pair of jeans and I plan to get a lot of use out of them.

These were purchased for my 15-year-old daughter to go with a beautiful vintage cashmere pullover that ended at the true waist. All the high-waisted jeans in the stores were frauds. She lamented not being able to find jeans designed the way Joan Crawford's were in Johnny Guitar. True, high-waisted, figure flattering denim. We heard about Micheline Pitt in a discussion thread on Amanda Hallay's Ultimate Fashion History blog. The catalog photos looked the part, but anyone can post a good photo on the Internet these days.
The true test was when they came out of the package and she pretty much refused to take them off. The fabric is soft but firm, the black a true black, and the construction is quality. I'm obsessive-compulsive about the cut of patterns, and I never shut up about bias cut and how stingy the fashion industry is with fabric. But these make the grade. The seat is cut from generously angled pieces that allow for movement and don't make the waist drop when the wearer bends. And they fit my daughter well even though she's built more slightly than the models in the photos--as an hourglass but willowy and petite teen.
The high waist truly comes up to the bottom of the sweater in question, as though they were meant for each other. The eye-catching waistline also makes her Banana Republic menswear-inspired shirts look classic and feminine. She especially loves that there's extra length at the ankle to allow for a roll-up, even though the jeans themselves are cut petite to fit her where it counts.
My daughter adores both the jeans and the matching shorts, as well as the black V-neck sweater. I'm a happy mom. Thank you!

The quality of these jeans are absolutely amazing! Unfortunately, although the smallest size waist fit me well, everything else was much too large. These jeans would be best suited on a more curvy figure.

These jeans are gorgeous and really high quality. They will last a long time and are absolutely worth the price. I love that there is a petite option as other brands are too long in the rise and give me that dreaded puffy zipper look. These hit right at the belly button for me so that's perfect. These jeans are definitely made for people with a curvier shape, so unfortunately they just don't work for me. My waist and hip measurements are 27 and 36, I weigh between 120 and 125 depending on the week. I got the 26-27 size, which fit well at the waist-I wouldn't want to go smaller -but are loose in the butt and hips. I'm going to hang on to them and hope that they magically tighten in the wash but not at the waist. They're amazing jeans, but if you have an average body type you may not fill them out in the hips.

The jeans give me LIFE! I have the hardest time in the world finding jeans that fit properly and these go above and beyond! I will say I was skeptical when I first tried them on because they were baggy in the bum area, but once I washed them they were fine. The waist hits at my actual waist and not the bottom of my rib cage, like so many other jeans I've tried. These are a true denim, so keep that in mind as you need to "break them in." Thank you Micheline for your quality and craftsmanship!

I can't believe I've fallen in love with jeans!! I love how you can basically custom fit your jeans for the perfect fit and length. I have a short torso so my rise was 10 inches which is why I chose the petite size. I went with the 30 inseam and I only had to cuff it once. This denim is very high quality with such a beautiful rich black color. Just popped these babies in the dryer for a bit (to shrink up the legs ) and they look/fit wonderfully! 24/25 waist.
