The Key To Buying Jeans Online is Knowing Your Measurements! Tag Sizes Vary Amongst Brands, Styles, Countries & Manufacturers. I've provided basic photos of the two most common ways waist measurements are taken. NOTE: often the measurement of the back waistband is given so that would be 32" in thus example since the measurement is 16" across. Many people give the aligned waistband no dip measurement so it's good to know.
Measure Away get waist measurements for different rises! Happy Poshing!

I'll be glad to answer any question you may have. I've got a denim obsession and fancy myself a denim matchmaker, pairing the right jeans with the right person and the key to happy denim wearing is proper fit!
deniminiquities
@folklaure Here is my quick & dirty how to measure waist and rise to help people determine fit. I know it's hard to tell from my closet, but I specialize in high end premium denim. I've got over a hundred pair of jeans to list plus other sundries and assorted items. :)
deniminiquities
How to measure hips:
Measure flat across the front of the jeans 2" below the base of the zipper, the fly, NOT 2" BELOW THE STITCHING OUTLINING THE FLY.
INSEAM is measured on the inside seen of the leg from bottom of the hem to the outer edge of the seam of the crotch.
LEG OPENING: Make flat across hem and double the measurement to get the actual measurement.
deniminiquities
NOTE: MEASURE JEANS FLAT AND UNSTRETCHED. THE WAIST MEASUREMENT IS THE NUMBER YOU GET MEASURING ACROSS THE TOP OF THE BACK WAISTBAND DOUBLED.
NEVER STRETCH THE JEANS IN YOUR MEASUREMENTS!!!

journey2divine
I would love a pair of the fairy jeans if you have any.
deniminiquities
@journey2divine I've got one pair that I'm wearing these days. Let me know what size you wear or if you're unsure b/c these are vintage rigid TRBJ. Keep in mind that the rigid (100% cotton) TRs run a size smaller than their stretchy counterparts and the decoratively embroidered ones ate definitely rigid. They're not easy to find but I can certainly look for you and guarantee their authenticity but I'll need to know how much your budget will allow. My Johnny fairies were not cheap but I love them!!
shugahs
@stepfresh We needed this for those jeans that day...
tsaia1977
@dierks I have stumbled across this gem of a closet. I think this just might contain some of the best deals I've seen besides @ridinghood13 on premium denim. I know your hosting soon and surprisingly enough I didn't see host picks. I won't tag u on anymore closets but I Had to share this one. Thnx! Xxooxxoo
deniminiquities
@r_yuri Hope this will help you buy great fitting jeans in future denim purchases!
deniminiquities
@chaspence See, just trying to help so you and your potential buyer could get a more definite sense of whether or not the jeans would fit. Fabrication, Designer and even styles by the same designer are all variables that make a size to size conversion almost meaningless when there are so many "sizes" that a Sz 28, 30, etc could be radically different or essentially the same size.
r_yuri
@deniminiquities Wow! Thanks for taking the time :) your super cool
deniminiquities
@r_yuri Awww, thanks! I believe every woman should know how to find the best fitting jeans even without trying them on in person. I've been considering a similar posting to address styles/designs and body shapes since the rise, cut, fabrication and measurements will change depending on body shape and jeans style.
If you ever have questions about premium denim, authenticating designer jeans or anything, just ask! :-)
jeweledonyx
Thank you so much! It's just excellent. I can't tell you how many times I'v had to explain this. Would you mind if I use your idea (not your sign)in my closet? Never occurred to me to just post a sign 😱 -Kaye🌷
jeweledonyx
Never mind! I'm tagging them straight to you!! This post is marvelous! @bluidvll
deniminiquities
@jeweledonyx Thanks! Just sharing things I've learned & hope it helps!
gumbob
Hi. Do you have any distressed skinny jeans?
deniminiquities
@gumbob I've got a few pair. Are you looking for a blue denim or colored skinny? Size?
gumbob
Ummm, blue denim. My size varies based on stretch, material & designer. 27-30 has been fitting but lots of Euro brands
deniminiquities
@gumbob I'll look through my jeans & list them. What kind of preferences do you have as far designer, rise, stretch and whatnot. I've got a cute pair of sz 28 big star jeans that are not stretchy but super soft & wonderfully broken in with distressing. Oh, what about length? Do you need or prefer a particular inseam?
gumbob
Hi, not any specific designer preference. I have tons of BKE's. Looking for more unique jeans. I'm into comfort & stretch. Don't have much junk in my trunk. I'm a 31" inseam. Liked to roll them up during the summer & then down other times. I'm in a hot/humid climate so I like to breathe a bit lil. Hope that helps. Getting tired of the brands in the store & wanting a different look.
gumbob
Oh, I don't do boot cut or flare. They don't look good on me
deniminiquities
@gumbob I know what you mean! It's a hundred degrees in a wall of humidity here in the middle of Alabama so that means jeans need to be stretchy & lighter weight to be comfy. Of all jeans I'm liking right now are a pair of blue ombre forever 21 (it's a first on lots of levels) and 2 styles from mother jeans- three looker and the rascal fray. They all roll up for a super cute look. I'm still fond of the socialite kicker from Joe's Jeans as well.
deniminiquities
@gumbob I'm not sure if I'll get the pics up this evening- the meds I was given during/after surgery this morning are starting to wear off. We'll see how it goes.
gumbob
Awe, take a break & remember YOU always come first. Get well wishes & prayers 💟
gumbob
Wow, I have found some great stuff @ F21 too. Never imagined. I need something that flatters my rear so I try to look at pocket placement, etc
deniminiquities
@gumbob I'm mega picky on jeans fit & fabrication esp back pocket shape, size, proportionality & placement. What are some of your fave fitting styles? I really like Hudson signature boot cut, Nico Super Skinny but not the Colin fit. I love TRBJ Joey but not the Casey legging. No matter how cute, I cannot wear old navy jeans because they're fundamentally ill suited for my body shape. Levi's Superlow nouveau boot & skinny stretch jeans are always an option bc they are universally flattering.
deniminiquities
@gumbob Thanks for the well wishes. Thinking about jeans is usually a welcome distraction though. Trying to figure out fit for someone is a fun challenge butt leads to lots of questions. What type of rise/brand/style do you feel most confident wearing? For me it depends on my weight/size I'm wearing. If I'm in a 26, 27 then it's true religion, COH 6.5-7“ low rise but if I'm wearing a 29,30, 31 then it's Hudson, Paige, William Rast Jeans with an 8-9" midrise. AG jeans work great when I'm a 27-28.
gumbob
Well...I'm a 34-35DD & curvy (smaller waist) but I've gained a lil due to health issues/meds. Never have had a butt. I use to wear a 24/25 but my body is changing due to age. Use to Rock my Miss Me's, Rock Revival, BKEs'. Getting tired of the same look/design. I can do a low rise if they fit right & don't give the muffin effect. Bought a pair of Design Lab & liked them
gumbob
My sis is in the industry & loves Paige, Hudson but she's very petite & has a butt. Stylist @ Noirdies told me to try Paige & NYDJ. Heard Maxwell & Vigoss are good but haven't tried them. Still searching for a perfect pair.....
gumbob
Bought a pair of Laguna Beach & they look good
deniminiquities
@gumbob Gotcha. I'm going through the same thing, body changing bc of meds. Most of my jeans are put away right now bc I'm on a daily steroid regimen which has made everything curvier. So you may want to try mother jeans, esp the styles that are a modal coffin poly blend bc they are magic the way they stretch and fit like a glove. Plus they're decadent in just how comfy they are!!
gumbob
Thanks, I'll def look into them. Wonder if there are any on here.....
deniminiquities
@gumbob I've definitely got a butt with a narrower waist and 38D-DD with a broad rib cage so that if I weigh 110 lbs I'm still a 38 just B cup, very high waist w/ a little pooch right below my navel that has muffin top potential if jeans have too high or low a rise. I've been rather frustrated lately because I have discovered that a 27 and 30 of same jeans doesn't translate across the size lines. When you figure out this secret of the universe please share the answer with me!!
gumbob
I can totally relate. I've purchased 30-31 & they fit like some of my 27's. It's hard to purchase online bc you can't try on. Haven't lost my chest but I had a lift...
deniminiquities
@gumbob it's a crap shoot, buying jeans online. The added uncertainty of preloved pairs bc of breaking in/stretching makes sizes almost irrelevant but it's a great way to get find excellent denim. I'm not sure if it's the sizes of jeans that affects fit or if it's more subtle changes in my shape. I suddenly have to worry about plumbers crack with certain styles. No, no, no! I just want to find jeans that are comfy & I feel/look good wearing. I'm measurement obsessive compulsive.
gumbob
LOL, you're too funny! Sure, your meds have worn off 😊. Very true on all parts.
gumbob
Soooooo many people can't, won't or do not know how to measure. I've run into people that don't even have a measuring tape. They get ticked when I ask for measurements 😢
gumbob
@tammygantt
deniminiquities
@flashnfashnista Hope this helps you determine fit!!
nickeeclothing
This was a great help.wow!! I'm a newbie, and appreciate any helpful tips...♡♡
deniminiquities
@nickeeclothing I'm so glad it helped!! Buying and selling jeans online, particularly pre-loved ones, is a gamble if you go by the size tag. Measurements provide more info than a tag every time. Happy Poshing, good luck and let me know if you have any additional questions. @gumbob has a listing on how to take all of your measurements so stop by her closet to check it out!!
gumbob
It's buried it there somewhere bc I'm on medical leave. Good luck. I always get measurements even in the same brand I vary!
emilybragg15
@deniminiquities hey! I am curious about what my size is?? Like I wear a 5/6-8 depending on the brand..so would I be a 26-27-28 if I'm normally a 5/6? I've always wondered what my equivalent would be?? Your measurement advice has really helped!! I'm learning lol
deniminiquities
@emilybragg15 Before I can answer you with a solid answer i need to know the following: brand, used or new and fabrication is key. Many brands have rigid (100% Cotton) denim that isn't stretchy and fits a size or 2 smaller.
I'll be glad to offer my opinion given the facts😘
emilybragg15
@deniminiquities ok thank u so much!!
deniminiquities
@emilybragg15 the best way to determine size/fit is to take a few of your different favorite jrand and measure them as described above. If the person doesn't know how to measure then either walk then through the steps above or just tag them in it
Hope that's more helpful.
General rule is 25=z 0, 26-2,27=4 etc... But always chec
deniminiquities
@emilybragg15 measurements of the means you love and the jeans you need to love, 😘💕
emilybragg15
@deniminiquities ok gotcha!! Thanks u!!

ericadawn
Well if you're the denim dealer I'm the denim addict. I have a wishlist and a needlist. Lol. would you be willing to help me figure out which are necessities and which brands to go with?
deniminiquities
@dstiletto Curiosity. I wanted to understand where you were coming from as a seller and I can't do that without asking. My username is deniminiquities for a reason--it's almost sinful the way I love denim. Rarities are a definite passion of mine in a world class sort of way. Distressed is here to stay, especially in shorties. If you take a look at me you'd see this isn't hostile in the least
deniminiquities
@dstiletto You just missed out on some shares. Maybe realize that questions mean interest and that's good?
