Comfortable and Cute
No elastic in the denim but roomy in waist and hip so very comfortable for all day wear. A little baggier in the leg than I expected but I think that's just the style and I ended up liking it a lot. Cropped length, might be short on you if you are very tall. Elastic waistband is very comfortable but cuter with a belt.

Easy to wear take on barrel jeans
I wanted to try the ballin Jean so I gave these a try. Not wild about the elastic waist. I went with my regular size as they are supposed to be baggy. If I had sized down, the look would not have been the same and the rise too short for me

Lots of compliments but too big!
I love the style of these pants but a medium was far too large. I'm a medium in Zara pants so tight these would be ok. I still write them twice but they were quite baggy. Just ordered them in a small.

Very Big and Baggy, But Still Cute
Other reviewers really complained about the sizing of these, but based on the pictures, I think they fit true to size, they are just designed to be big and baggy! That’s what I was looking for, so I love them! My only complain is that the pocket lining isn’t fully hidden, but you mostly can’t tell that, at least from straight on

I got my normal size and while they it ok in the waist, the elastic band was aggressively unflattering in the hips. Bigger is better with balloon fit pants!

Definitely a baggy look but comfortable
While I did feel a little frumpy wearing these so often, they were definitely high quality and felt in style. The waist is a little stretchy and was perfect for me as I was in my late first trimester.

I WOULD WEAR THESE EVERY DAY
In love with these. I usually wear a 6-8, or 28-29. The medium in these were a bit too baggy. The small fits perfectly. Looks like they were made for me. I'm only 5'1 but this was a great ankle length. Would probably be cropped on an average to tall person. I'll def be purchasing!

They are what they are
These are not the most flattering jeans in the world. Let’s get that out of the way. However, they are unbelievably comfy and give off cute mom-jean vibes. I wore these while working from home then went on a flight and I was never uncomfortable. The waistband could have fit me better, I was pulling the pants up quite a bit, but that did contribute to my comfort.

Not for the hippy
I have large hips and this isn't for those with curvy hips. The pocket insides were peeking and you could see the white insides. So I had to wear a long shirt which defeated the purpose of the high waisted effect. Oh well.

I regularly have this problem with Madewell’s sizing guide. It’s not consistent so items either end up way too big or too small.

The denim was quality. However, the sizing is off and I couldn't wear. I am typically a size 12 in denim and the large was about two sizes too big.

Smaller than other Madewell styles
I have a pair of the Madewell Paper Bag shorts and regular jean shorts in this size, so I was confident they'd fit. Unfortunately these are too tight across the hips to have the desired relaxed look. I'd recommend sizing up if available.
