I love Diane's concept of fit; I need the extra room in the waist (5'6", 135 lb.,size 8)), BUT I believe her quality is going down. Sizing is sometimes too small, the stretch in the colored jeans not good, the length not consistent, and sometimes the fabric smells bad. I got these in white, size 8, regular. They are too short and fit more like a DG2 size 6. Also, the fabric is sort of fuzzy, not a good look. Please, Diane, insist on better quality because when it works - it really works!
