very dissapointed

a year ago
I have been buying American Eagle curvy jeans since they started the fit and they just keep getting worse as they try to phase them out. All of my curvy jeans are a six or an eight the sixes are a little tight. The eights are perfect but I can wear both, I know black denim run smaller so I ordered a 10 these are so tiny I could barely get them over my hips and then they didn’t even come up to my bellybutton but they’re supposed to be a high-rise. I just don’t understand why they changed the curvy fit from a few years ago it was absolutely perfect for my body and way better than this garbage theyre producing now. not everyone wants to wear baggy jeans that look like 1990s dads. They also smell absolutely horrible. I’ve washed them three times hung dry inside out with vinegar and they still smell like chemicals.

No, I do not recommend this product.

???? Not as good as they were 3-4 years ago

:-( im so upset!!! these do NOT fit like i how i remember them…the waist is so tight with no stretch at all!! the old version had a nice amount of stretch. i also didnt pay attention to the rise level, thats on me. (its like the OG high rise) i usually like the super/extra high rise but they also dont make those rises in BLACK anymore!!!! so idk DEF size up unless youre tiny.

Not the same

I bought a pair of curvy jeans (same fit and size) earlier this year and expected these to fit the same. Sadly they did not. They are tighter around the waist and baggy below the knees. The black denim is a bit rough feeling too.

I have no idea what is going on- very weird fit

a year ago
As soon as the short inseam was offered in AE pants I jumped on it years ago… I hate when my jeans are scrunched at my ankles and prefer a little bit of a cropped skinny jean look. That said I’ve never had issues like this before. The length from the top of the pants to the crotch is odd it doesn’t fit right and feels like it’s giving me a “front” wedgie. Hips and thighs feel great. THEN get down to the knees and the back of the knee there is so much extra fabric it looks ridiculous and feels so odd. The ankle opening is weirdly tight too. Just a very odd fit. Would have returned but stupidly I tore the tags off and tossed away. Was overconfident since I’ve purchased jeans online for years. Bad decision

What’s up with the ankles?

a year ago
I was super excited to finally be able to get a pair of these because they seemed like exactly what I needed. Bought a pair and was very disappointed. Fit just like the high-waisted jegging, but the ankles… the ankle part was oddly wide for jeggings, almost like they would be on straight jeans. I could feel my ankles rubbing against the jeans and didn’t even have them on for five minutes without having to take them off because it was so uncomfortable. I wish I could return these but I had already washed them prior to trying on. Just stick with the regular high-waisted jegging.

They don't make 'em like they used to...

a year ago
I bought a pair of curvy jeans from AE a few years ago that (still) fit wonderfully. Since then, I've tried a bunch more and not one of them has fit the same as the older pair (or even the same as each other, the sizing is inconsistent between styles and even colors). They either fit like regular jeggings instead of curvy, run completely small (notice this a lot with their black jeggings), or run big in the knees/calves and small in the thighs, butt, and waist. On top of that, the waistband doesn't have as much stretch as it used to, which makes no sense to me. If the whole point is that the pants need to fit over your curves, why would you include a waistband that doesn't stretch enough to do that? My original pair of curvy jeggings is a 00 long. Got these in a 00 regular and a 0 regular because it seems those sizes don't come in long anymore. Could not get the 00 up past my thighs at all, and the 0 was baggy in the lower legs but tight in the whole upper half, including the not-stretchy waistband. I had to really fight to get them on and the waistband still felt tight once buttoned, however, I know from previous try-ons that a 2 would be too big everywhere, so I'm stuck. Also, as an example of the inconsistency, I also got a pair of curvy jeggings in gray in this same order, size 0. They were too big everywhere. Makes it super hard to figure out what size I should actually be getting.

SO ITCHY!!!

a year ago
The fabric on these jeans are SO horribly itchy. I don't understand why they changed. I had purchased the same pants in 2021 (in a larger size at the time) and went to replace them a few weeks ago since I lost weight. I can't even wear them. The fabric is so itchy and rough against my legs, it's not even comfortable. The jeans stretch out everywhere, except the waist. Disappointed, this quality is horrible.

Not as curvy as expected, back pockets sit too low

a year ago
As someone who used to LOVE AE’s curvy jeans, I’m super disappointed in these. It seems like they changed up their waist to hip ratio on them because I had to go up several sizes for the lower half to fit in a flattering way, but now there is too much room at my waist, which defeats the whole point of them being for curvy women. The pockets also sit pretty low which isn’t very flattering. If you’re someone with a very curvy figure, I don’t think I would recommend.

Disappointed…

a year ago
I am so disappointed in American Eagle. I have bought the dream jeans because of the fabrication for years now and in the same size. Unfortunately, the last two pairs I have purchased are smaller than my normal size. I have purchased them in a size 4 short for years. I even went up two sizes and they still don’t fit. I held the size 4’s and 8’s up next to eachother to compare and they were almost the same size, with the size 4 having more room in the thighs and waist. Please bring back the old construct and fabrication. I have decided to look elsewhere for denim- Good American, Madewell and Levi have jeans that are true to size and consistent.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Different

I've been buying these exact jeans for years and I'm not sure what happened, but the new version are not good. The rise is much lower, and I think AE has changed their sizing because these jeans are much smaller than my last pair. I'm so disappointed, AE is the only place that does extra short lengths.

No, I do not recommend this product.

I am not sure what has happened with these jeans. I own two other pair of black dream high waisted jeans and they fit just fine. These I could barely get up my thigh. Everything is off with them. This was the same for another pair of blue jeans I ordered. Highly disappointed and will have to return.

THEY HAVE CHANGED MATERIAL!

a year ago
I used to order this one and the normal high rise for YEARS now. Only jean they would fit me right for my height (I'm 5' 9"). I needed to buy new ones and ordered online out of trust that it would be the same as it has been since 2016 when I began buying these. The material is CHEAP now. Super stretchy that it looks baggy and no longer firm. And one pair's zipper broke after the 3rd time I wore it which never happened before. Super bummed as these were my go to for years and now I have to look elsewhere. I wish they made it clear that this isn't made the same anymore.

These are not curvy jeans at all!!

a year ago
These are no different than their regular jegging with the tiniest bit of extra stretch. I have three pairs of the old version of curvy jeans and these fit completely different! The ankles are baggier, the waist and back pockets are tighter, the front pockets are smaller, the rise is lower, and the zipper feels cheap and was sewn in poorly. Even the way the tag was sewn in was awful. It’s very clear that they changed manufacturers for a cheaper alternative while trying to charge the same amount. As someone who has strictly been wearing AE jeans for over a decade I am extremely disappointed.

Not like my other AE Dream Curvy Jeans!

My normal size is 12 in curvy but there was NO stretch. I went back to get the 14 and it’s so tight. My other 12 in AE Dream Curvy fits perfectly so I had high hopes for this! #AEReviewSweepsEntry
