Judy Blue Jeans are basically one of the best arrivals to fashion in the last few years. With amazing stretch and recovery (doesn't stretch out after hours of wear) and amazing fit for sizes 0-24W, the only crazy part is figuring out your size!
Quick Sizing Help: Take your Department store size and size down ONE for your base size.
- 14 regular wears a 13, 16 is a 15, 16/18 is a 14w, 18 is a 16w. But always watch the fit video!
- (Ladies who know their Torrid/Lane Bryant size will stay in the same size vs sizing down)
On each pair, we list the Rise and Inseam for you. If you haven't measured yours lately, check it out for the best fit when ordering online!
We carry largely high rise and some mid rise jeans. Rise for regular and plus sizes is listed in inches for the best fit.
There are fit videos for each pair of Jeans/Shorts and Capris on our website and Free App for you!
You can see all our Denim jeans HERE.
You can find shorts and capris listed also.

The most common questions we have about sizing confusion comes from not understanding YOUR TRUE STARTING size and also the best denim styles for each body shape. We have you covered!
For reference, a lot of our ladies will order too big of a size initially because they aren't used to VERY form fitting pants with stretch. If you start with a size 20 for example, but those pants from Old Navy are shapeless and roomy or even oversized on you, those will NOT be your true size and you'll end up needing to return. A 20 Regular at Old Navy/AE/Gap is like our 18W for reference.
To find your size on each pair (we have videos for each talking about fit and stretch) always start with your size in the most fitted pair of pants WITH Stretch that you can find.
True to size sizing:
Regular sizing 2-16 will generally find their initial size by taking their even size and sizing down one. 16 will wear the 15, 14 the 13, 12 wear the 11 etc.
Note: Size 0-7 without weight in their tummies often size down one more also.
If you aren't sure if you're a 14/16 regular or plus WATCH THIS VIDEO Here:
14W through 24W Sizing:
- For ladies who know their AE/Gap/Old Navy sizing (16/18/20/22/24), size down one for our Plus sizes as they are a true W sizing wide hip friendly women's plus cut..
- 22 at Old Navy/AE is like our 20W, 20 is like our 18W etc
- For ladies who know their Torrid/Lane Bryant sizing, stay in your true size as those are generally a true plus size cut.
Sizing down TWO:
Some pairs will be extra stretchy. Usually that means regular 0-15 sizing can size down one further. And sometimes plus 14w-24w may want to size down also.
In this case, watch the video if you can, they are 2-3 minutes long and will show you where the stretch is and who/why you may be able to size down. We will have sizing listed in the description as well. Generally speaking, sizing down 2 for regular means a 14 would skip the 13 and wear the 11 and a 12 would skip the 11 and wear a 9. But don't fret, each pair will break it down for you clearly.

Denim by Body Shape
Knowing and EMBRACING your body shape is so important for dressing and feeling confident! It is 1,000% ok to acknowledge that every style will NOT look great on every body shape!
We have sizing videos below for:
- 14/16 reg vs 14w-24w
- Apple & Pear body shapes
- Inseam & Rise
- 2-16 Regular sizing
- Rectangle & Hourglass Body shapes
- Height and longer inseams
- CLICK HERE FOR ALL VIDEOS
Rectangle & Hour Glass body shapes:
- May find that sizing down 2 odd sizes or 1 plus size is best to keep the curves hugged and have that booty pop fit when pairs have great stretch (each pair has a fit video and written listing).
- Most denim styles will be flattering on these shapes in general.
- How you carry weight in your tummy area will likely determine your FAVORITE jean types.
- Boyfriend and relaxed fit jeans may fit baggy Or fitted depending on your leg composition. Ashley has muscular legs so most straight/boyfriend jeans have a fitted straight leg appearance on her.
Pear and Apple shapes:
- Often struggle with fit of skinny jeans.
- Many prefer a straight leg. The reason for this is that sizing to accomodate a larger tummy and smaller legs means that skinny jeans can be baggy in the legs and look awkward as they taper in at the ankle. A straight/relaxed leg will look intentional with room.
- If you want to show off some silhouette, slim/relaxed and straight leg will be your bestie!
- Boyfriend jeans will have a straight leg also. If you want to hide a bit of your shape, boyfriend jeans worn with a top long enough to cover your hips will be a great option also.

Thank you for taking the time to explain the Judy Blue sizing! I have been on the fence big time about buying my daughter & myself both a pair! You make me feel a lot better about taking the chance on buying them online versus in person! I love your boutique and I just made a pretty big order over this past weekend! I’m planning on buying us some Judy Blues when I get my check & it’ll definitely be from you💙 Thanks soo much!!!
Sincere Thanks, Susan B. Inman
