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!

~ Rabbit Sweater, Medium ~

This sweater is a pretty snug fit in my normal Medium. I was hoping for a little slouch or looseness. The color is a beautifully saturated green. I think the color was described as Teal Green. This is sold out online but you may be able to find it in-stores. The rabbits are cute, maybe a little too cute for me. I do love the color though. I’m on the fence with this one.

~ Ivy Softened Shirt, Medium ~

I was intrigued by the “softened” shirt, especially since the reviews are very positive. I ordered both the Ivy and the Tunic (below) in a Medium. The Ivy Softened Shirt fit well in the Medium though it was pretty loose and boxy from below the chest down. The shirt is soft and is 100% cotton. I am sure it will soften even more as it is washed. This shirt is sheer so nude bra would be best underneath.

~ Crisp Softened Tunic, Medium ~

I liked this one a little more as since it is a bit more structured than the Ivy Softened Shirt. This is not 100% cotton but has 3% spandex in it. This is tunic length and falls well below the hips, almost providing full coverage in the back. I would prefer another inch to wear with leggings though. I have a white shirt on my shopping list and feel this one will work for now. You can see this one is a bit see-through as well.

Here are a few more softened shirts for you.


I’ll have a review of the Wide-Leg Trousers later today.
