Review on Ride In Style: Lucky Brand Women'S Mid Rise Easy Rider Bootcut Jeans by Jen Schuelke

First, here are the actual measurements for the Easy Rider Jeans in a size 8:Waist = 35" Hip = 42.5" Inseam = 32" Front Rise = 10" Back Rise = 14.5" Leg Opening = 18"I've been wearing Lucky Brand Jeans for years in various styles - many of which have been discontinued or re-branded or re-named to be called something else. I know this particular style is meant to have a looser fit, but it isn't supposed to be gigantic. I own 2 pairs of LB Mid-Rise Sweet Bootcut Jeans in size 10, one pair has the same fiber content and stretch as these and the other has even less cotton and more polyester and stretch. Both of those size 10 pairs of jeans, which are now too large for me, are at least 2 sizes smaller straight out of the dryer than this pair of Easy Rider jeans in a size 8. Also, despite the inseam being correct at 32" the waist was so oversized and front and back rise so long that the 'real' inseam began much lower down on my thighs causing the jeans to almost entirely cover my feet. Even if I had ordered a 30" inseam in the same size it would have been too long due to the way the rest of the jean was incorrectly sized. I mean. due to the amount of stretch I didn't need to unbutton or unzip these jeans for them to slide right down to my thighs when I stepped on the too-long leg trying them on.It seems what they did for the Easy Riders based on Lucky Brand's own size charts for Jeans/Bottoms (in this particular case a size 29/8), is take the waist measurement (29.5") and hip measurement (40"), tell the factory manufacturing this style that these are mid-rise jeans so the waistband should be halfway between these two measurements (34.75" for a size 29/8). If I were to attempt to purchase these again, which I won't, I would need to try a size 27/4, likely with a 30" inseam due to the mid-rise inseam still being quite high, which has a waist size of 27.5" and a hip size of 38", which would produce a likely waistband size of 32.75"-33" for my personalized fit. That wouldn't make sense even for vanity sizing.These jeans would be best-suited for someone with a larger waist, or waist-to-hip ratio. Consider the measurements I gave for the size 29/8 and my estimate on how this style is actually sized in order to determine whether or not they will fit you and what size, if any, to order for yourself.
