NYDJ review

NYDJ is the strongest pick for petite women who want a shaping fit. Its petite page says the jeans are designed for women 5'4" and under, with the rise and inseam proportioned for shorter frames, and that petite inseams generally range from 28" to 30" depending on the style. Every petite style includes the brand's Lift Tuck Technology, which NYDJ says smooths and lifts. The range is deep: petite straight jeans alone listed 83 items, led by the Marilyn Straight, alongside slim, bootcut, wide-leg, skinny and crop fits, and some styles are sold in set inseams such as 27", 28" or 29". NYDJ offers free ground shipping and free returns and exchanges. The catch for very short women is length, since a 30" inseam is long at 5'0". From our location the store showed only zloty prices, so the USD price is pending.
