How to Measure

BUST

Wrap a soft measuring tape under your arms and around the fullest part of your chest. Avoid pulling the measuring tape too tightly.

Pro Tip: Keep your favorite undergarment on while you measure to get the most accurate number.

NATURAL WAIST

Stand up straight and relax your stomach, then wrap a soft measuring tape at the midway point between the bottom of your ribcage and your hip bone. Avoid pulling the measuring tape too tightly.

HIP

Stand with your feet hips width distance and flat, then wrap a soft measuring tape around the widest point of your hip.

Pro Tip: Sitting down while you take this measurement ensures accuracy and provides added comfort for the best fit.

INSEAM

Use a soft measuring tape to measure from the highest point of your inner thigh to the bottom of where the pant will hit. For instance, if the inseam is 27”, you’ll measure 27” down.

Pro Tip: Measuring with shoes on lets you see the full picture and ensures your pants fall exactly where you want them.

Reviews

Derry Illusion Jeans can’t be beat

"Perfect weight denim, not too thick and not too thin, plenty of stretch and best of all, the pull on waist band! So comfortable, easy on and off - where have pull on jeans been all my life??? Please Frank & Eileen, don’t stop making these jeans!!!"

— Laurie G. (5/5)

Best jeans ever!

"I’m so glad I discovered the Derry Illusion jeans. They are beautifully made and fit like a glove. Flattering, soft, no tugging…I could wear these on a long car drive and be completely comfortable. Worth every penny. I have two pairs and will probably buy more. I can’t imagine wearing any other jean. Love! ❤️"

— Betty M. (5/5)

YES!

"I am 55 and weigh 143 pounds. I usually wear a size 30 or 31, but I can wear a 29 in these kind of jeans. They’re so easy because you just pulled them up, and they always look great!"

— Cathleen A. (5/5)

Heaven sent

"These jeans look and feel fabulous! I was afraid they’d look like “skinny jeans” but they are made of substantial fabric that gathers where it should, and fits like a glove where you want it. I’m glad there are no pockets, it gives the pants a more streamline, jazzy look. I wear them with longer tops, kind of an Audrey Hepburn vibe? (I’m 72, and appreciate pants that give me a spring in my step!)"

— Jennifer L. (5/5)

Love these pants!

"These look great and are very comfortable. I plan to order another pair when the denim color I want is back in stock."

— Mary T. (5/5)

Great Fabric, Skinny Jean…

"True to F & E style and fabrics, this is a winner. I have narrow hips but a bit of a tummy. This style works well. It’s more of a skinny jean than I thought, but I will enjoy them. It just seems like they are a bit overpriced for the style. I also wish they had at least one pocket."

— Martha S. (4/5)

DERRY illusion jean did you get what you get I know

"This pull on Jean is great. Love everything about it, except I wish there was a little more stretch in the waist, but overall, great quality and a good length for now. . It would be great if you could make one a little longer for the winter season. Belt."

— Randi B. (4/5)

Illusion black pant

"I didnt see the unfinished hem in the pic. I am not a fan."

— Dana C. (1/5)

AMAZING but…

"These pants are 9/10! But please, can we make them with pockets??"

— Coco (5/5)

very pleased

"Comfortable, fit well-no lumps from zippers and pockets. wish the style was available in fabric other than denim"

— Diane S. (5/5)
