DG2 Virtual Stretch Sizing!!!
I am so tired of paying for postage and/or return postage on fashion when the manufacturer keeps changing the sizing guidelines without letting the customers know!!!!
The recent TSV DG2 jeans sizing is so totally off. I ordered size 12, just like my last purchase. These jeans fit, or would fit like hip huggers, if I could get the button and the button hole to meet. Maybe, if there was 4″ more of fabric!
My DG2 wardrobe goes from a 12 to a 16! I don’t care the the size label says…. don’t make the customer think they are smaller than they are. Make them uniformly. Call me a 12 or a 16 or a B or a chubbett…just make the jeans so I can order and not have to constantly return.
I look forward to hear from others who have received these jeans.

Regarding returns…. it always makes me crazy when I read complaints about return shipping cost. Yes you can return multiple items together. Just put all upc codes on the package for faster processing. BUT ALSO, you don’t have to use their return label!! You can do it on your own. Depending on weight, this is often cheaper. I get great rates on pirate ship.com

Sorry, Linny, but I had to laugh. My closet also contains 12 thru 16. Was purchasing dg since she began, and because of that can compare quality. I have some originals that are gorgeous-studs & stones set with grommets & not one has fallen off. Current ugh, always at bottom of washer as they are glued on. The black jeans never smelled of gasoline, sizes were consistent, along with length. Now, eee gads. I think part of the issue is there are so many different fabrics used making each “wear” differently. I would often order same jean, different colors and would try on one, then toss in laundry, only then to be stuck with one that didnt fit or was too short or long. Exasperating. She is no longer the jean queen in my book. I have found many different brands that fit better, so no more ordering and paying to return, as often size I need no longer available so cant exchange. . How I wish instead of hosts just standing there oohing and ahhing showing us what tops go with jeans, just get a tape measure & SHOW US the size and length. Occasionally a host will suggest order size up. I find it comical host asks models what size they wear? How on earth does that help us??? Havent purchased any in about a year as the cost to return and aggravation was too much @74. A little tip, tho, is that u can return more than one item in a package & save some shippping costs.

I am going to have to exchange yet another pair of DG2 by Diane Gilman Virtual Stretch Denim Skinny Jeans Item # 560-464. I purchased two pair in Indigo in a 18WT & one pair is 2″ larger in the waist. Baggy in the . I just did an exchange for a 16WT as I believe they will stretch out after wearing them all day. I kept the smaller 18T as I am having a knee replacement early next year. I’ll have a pair for my “fat” days. Same color, same size. I think this will be my last DG2 order for a while. It is frustrating. I have to have my husband that them to the PO. He’s sick of it!

Thank you for posting about the recent TS. I really wanted a pair, but I was not sure on the sizing. I have been waiting for a return. Now I’m going to take them out of my saved items. I have gained weight, so I purchased four pair of the skinny jeans & I love them. I wanted black but the black pair I received were so “sanded” that they looked like someone spilled bleach on them. I got a total refund. Earlier this year I purchased the straight leg utility jeans in chambray & Indigo. I do have to hem them as the inseam is longer than 32″. I am so happy my Mom taught me how to sew.

Just had to say I was wrong. The new DG2 pants I purchased get all droopy in the rear after an hour. I am stuck with at least 6 pair of jeans that will need to be altered. It takes me a long time to do it right. I’m not happy about it. I found jeans on line that are just as nice & other than needing to hem them they are perfect straight leg jeans. The legs are not as wide as DG2. I am very happy about that!

I AGREE!!!!! I will not buy anymore DG2 jeans………………………….unless I hear that the sizing is consistent…………..tired of high shipping (maybe $12. round trip for buy and then return)
SORRY, no DG2 should be sorry about their problem
upset customer
won’t buy again!! -
I agree about sizing. DG2 was my favorite, but I am done. It isn’t me – it is the jeans that are a constant guessing game.
-
I SO agree with you all! I’ve sworn off DG2 jeans all together, It’s $3.50 to ship to me and another $7.95 to ship them back when they don’t fit. The quality has some real issues too. The inside leg seam twists to the front when you walk, really strange. The rise is way too high, you can even tell on the models how the crotch hangs and they are pulled up way too high. Yep, not the same DG2 I’ve known and loved for so many years.

One of the reasons I will not buy VS. They run looser and tend to bag after some wear. Then they look sloppy. So should I order a size down? Nope, not playing that game no matter how much I like the design. I am surprised when they say VS is the most requested or best selling fabric.

I am a regular size 12. I made a deal with myself, no matter how much I like any clothing (but especially jeans and pants) on HSN or QVC for that matter, I will NOT size up. Not gonna be a 14, 16, etc. Manufacturers like DG2 need to regulate their sizing. Until then, I will no longer buy their fashions. Like lots of you, I have had issues specifically with DG2 – have a bunch of her “old” jeans from a few years ago which fit fine in size 12, but had to return the new ones (even virtual stretch) in the same size . . . sometimes you can just tell when you pull them out of the package that they are too small. What a shame.

I seldom order any clothing items without size and fit for that specific item. The hsn generic size guide is useless
-
Your closet must resemble mine = sizes 12 to 16. It’s unfortunate for sure. I try to order 14 in VS and 16 in NCS but that hasn’t worked out for me either. I’m pretty much done with Q & HSN…..hosts are foolish acting wannabes, s & h is out of line, and there’s really nothing new under the sun. Besides, how much can a 79 yo wear anyway…..
-
I agree!! I have found many items on Poshmark & similar items right here in my little town. I love TJ Maxx. We have a Ross opening in October. There is no consistency to the sizing. Even the same size but a different color!
