I received the Wide-Leg Trouser Jeans in Mid Indigo Wash on Wednesday, the same day that I received my Factory Denim Trouser. Though both “trouser” jeans they are completely different. The Factory version is a true trouser jean in a nice dark wash. The LOFT version is a little more 70s in style. The pockets are large in the back and then there are slightly smaller front square-ish pockets.
~ Size 6 ~
I liked the fit of the 6 and you can see the comparison of it with the size 8 below. There is a lot of extra length (middle pic) so at least 6 inches will have to come off. I don’t think it will mess up the leg line but I’ll ask my tailor to be sure.
~ Size 8 ~
The material is a cotton/poly/elastane blend making them stretchy and comfortable. I really wish the length was already my size so I could wear them now.
The two sizes, side-by-side…size 6 is on the left and size 8 is on the right. I’ve lightened the image so you can see the detail and fit a little better. There is probably only a half inch difference in the sizes but I can definitely tell and you can see it too. The size 6 shows a little more pulling across and the waistband doesn’t lay as flat. The leg line on the size 8 flows a little more smooth than the size 6 too. Personally, I feel there’s not much difference in fit once they are on to warrant really searching for another size 8. I may just keep both sizes if my store doesn’t have the size 8 in stock. I will have both pair hemmed for flats and heels.
~ Pleated Flippy Dress, Burgundy Melange, Medium ~
This is really a cute dress with a drop waist and pleated skirt. The material is a poly/rayon blend so I’m not sure where the “wool” comes from, per the description “super soft wool-handed jersey”. The jersey does make it very comfortable on but the material is very thin. I would need to layer a lot if wearing out in the cold, or even around my drafty house. There’s a Spacedye and a Lace Flippy Dress too, if you’re interested.
Overall, I’m pleased with my LOFT purchases. I love the jeans as well as the White Softened Tunic. I’ll return the other items as I know I can find something better.
Don’t forget LOFT has 40% off items, online and in-store. Happy Shopping!
