It all began a few months back when I was shopping online at Bloomingdales and started to search for new jeans. Since most of my jeans had bagged and sagged out, they didn’t look good on me anymore and it was time to find new ones. I found all of the usual premium brand suspects, but I did happen to spot a new brand Bloomies was showcasing. I called all of my friends to ask them if they had heard of this mysterious new jean brand called DL1961 Premium Denim. I wanted to know if anyone knew if the jeans would stretch out after being worn. This would determine whether I needed to size down or not. No one had heard of the brand, but, everyone was extremely intrigued when I told them that the jeans are exclusively manufactured with XFIT LYCRA, the latest revolution in stretch denim. XFIT LYCRA is a patented, cross-weave technology which stretches in both wrap and weft, providing a 4-way stretch that moves 360 degrees and delivers superior shape retention, fit and comfort. The jeans sounded amazing and everyone agreed I should try them out. Since I didn’t know which way to go on the sizing, I ended up buying two different sizes.
When I received the two pairs, I couldn’t wait to try them on to see what this new XFIT LYCRA was all about! The smaller pair fit a little tight and the pair that was my current size fit perfectly. They did fit and feel amazing and was unlike any other jean I had. I couldn’t decide which size to keep and decided to e-mail the company. Someone wrote me back immediately and said that because of their special XFIT LYCRA that I should stick with my current size because she promised that they would not stretch out like my other designer jeans. Unlike traditional stretch denim found in most other premium denim brands (which sags and loses its shape after wear), DL1961 jeans feel like they are custom made for you, and are extremely comfortable and flattering. The XFIT LYCRA, aka T400 is the reason why. Their jeans contain a minimum of 27% XFIT content, while other jeans contain about 3%. It really makes a difference, because the jeans hug your body, and they last for a very long time!
I was so impressed with their fabulous look and feel that I started raving to my friends which included Jen from MWS! One friend bought the smaller size pair from me as soon as she put them on. Jen wanted to try them on as soon as she could! She came over and could not believe how amazing they looked and felt. She was super impressed just like I was! The 4-way stretch of the denim doesn’t allow a gap to emerge between your waist and the jean, sag out around the butt area, or leave you with a muffin top! The XFIT morphs around your body and hugs you in all of the right places! What a dream! Jen and I were so excited to try more styles. We each got to try out three of the 90 styles they carry. They were the Tory (slim straight leg), Jennifer (high-rise boot-cut), and Grace (high-rise slim straight leg) styles in fabulous Ios wash (dark denim). It was a bit of a fashion show as we excitedly tried on one pair after another, thrilled at the look, style and fit of each and every pair! We tried and tested out the jeans over a few weeks to see how well they looked and held up as well. When friends and family caught us in our DL1961’s, they too, thought the jeans were awesome and wanted some for themselves! They made us feel and look so sexy!
Our Findings:
- Our DL1961’s did not fade, stretch, lose their shape or style after multiple wearings! They can be worn up to 3 times before washing them (less laundry to do!!!) without the jeans sagging out or bagging in inappropriate places. Once you wash them, they are restored to their normal shape.
- We got MANY compliments and questions regarding our jeans about the fabulous sexy fit and style
- The jeans are extremely comfortable and have a great “thickness” for any season
- The straight leg and skinny styles looked extremely slimming and chic, paired great with flats or heels
- The boot-leg style looked classic and very put-together
DL 1961 jeans are perfect for all Moms because they are flattering on many different shapes and body types. Some rises are higher than others, which is great when you are sitting down on the floor with your child and you don’t want your underwear exposed. Most importantly, you can enjoy the time with your kids, without being self conscious! You can run around all day and night in these jeans! They provide a comfort and stretch capability that you simply cannot find anywhere else on the market.
We highly recommend that you try these awesome jeans out for yourself and join the likes of Halle Berry, Blake Lively and Rose McGowan (oh, and us!) in experiencing why these are not your typical designer jeans. Trust us, your friends will be dying to know where to get a pair!

I’m a Jennifer girl. I’d like to be a Grace girl, but I just don’t know if I could pull off the skinny jeans. I’d love to have a new pair of awesome fitting jeans! I’m scheduled to have baby #2 tomorrow and new jeans would be a great motivator to get me back in shape.
I’m definitely a Jennifer gal…I still love the boot cut!
I don’t have any jeans right now that I didn’t wear while pg with DD, so they are VERY stretched out. I could really use a new pair!
Definitely a Jennifer girl!
I’m a Jennifer girl too! I love the skinny jeans, but they haven’t been the most practical for a new mom. And since I’ve had my baby, I haven’t been able to fit into any of my pre-preggo jeans, so these would be great!
Definitely a Jennifer girl! I could really use a pair of jeans that fit well after the baby!
I love the Jennifer style- perfect for my post baby tummy!
I think I’m definitely a Jennifer kinda girl
Thanks for the great link. Be careful ladies once you go designer denim you won’t go back!
it’s definitely the jennifer style for me because it’s more flattering for my build.
I am a Jennifer. I love a little flair in my pants!
I am most definitely a Jennifer girl. I just had my first child 7 weeks ago and I am desperate to find the perfect pair of jeans. These look great!
jennifer looks like the one that will make my short legs appear longer.
I’m definitely a Jennifer. Not a skinny jean girl at all.
Grace girl- want to wear them with some uggs
Definitely a Jennifer girl and I can always use another pair jeans!
I am a Jennifer girl! I could definately use a pair of jeans in my very limited wardrobe.
I want to be a Grace girl. I have been working out in the hopes to wear skinny jeans before they are out of style and a new pair of jeans would help to motivate me!!!
Definitely a Jennifer girl (and not just because it is my name!). I would love a pair of jeans that doesn’t get saggy and fall off!
I’d love some Jennifer’s for post-baby
im going to go against my actual name, and say im currently a grace girl. thanks for the link, i am definitely going to give them a try – jeans that dont sag after one wearing – I’m SOLD!!!
I am a Jennifer. I think that I am too short to wear skinny jeans appropriately and feel my best in bootcut!
I am a Jennifer or a Grace Girl – And having jeans that don’t sag after wearing would make being a grace girl a whole lot easier! I am desperately in need of a new pair of jeans! Right now, I find that any time I set out to buy myself some jeans (or any clothes for that matter) that I end up buying my kids clothes instead!
Have been hunting for the perfect pair of straight leg jeans (thus Grace) – There are just too much pocket under the butt area. Tried many different brands, none works.
I am a Jennifer! I’d love to have a pair of jeans that don’t sag in the butt half way through the day AND make me not have a muffin top! WOW! I wish I could buy a pair, but at $158, I don’t think I can swing it… Love to win them!
I’m a Jennifer. I have curves that I don’t think look all that good in a skinny pair of jeans.
Would love to take home a Jennifer pair. Thanks.
In my mind, I WANT to be a GRACE girl, but in reality, I think I’m more of a JENNIFER girl. Just had Baby #3 and i’m a bit depressed about my muffin top right now. Need a bit of cheering up with a pair of these!!
My baby is 11 months and I just barey fit into my pre-baby jeans last week. I love that the inseam on these is 34″ since I am tall. I agree with those above that said that Grace will look great with boots, but I am going to have to say that nothing looks better than boot cut. So, therefore, I am going to say Jennifer for me.
I think I’m a Grace girl these days. I’m short and think a straight leg doesn’t overwhelm my size!
defintly a grace girl, I love my skinny jeans, great with boots, flats and heels!!!
Jennifer girl….I would love new jeans for date night and girls night out!
I am a Grace girl….so cute with flats and a tank for the summer!
I love the look of the Jennifer. Don’t think I’m quite hip enough to pull of the skinny jeans. My current jeans are in tatters and sags, so I’d love to give these a try. Thanks for the chance to win!
Call me “Jennifer”…I love the way you can dress up or dress down a nice pair of bootcut jeans. I’ve hit the 9 month post partum mark after baby #2 and haven’t came close the the pre-pregnancy “look” I once struted. I’d love a new pair of awesome fitting jeans to embrace my new curves and feel fabulous despite the gain!
I absolutely love the jennifer. My small frame is best suited for boot cut jeans. They seem to balance out my proportions and make me look taller. Especially in a darker wash! Thanks so much for the opportunity to win these great jeans.
Definitely a Jennifer girl! Very cute!! Not a “mom jean” for sure!
Definitely a Jennifer girl – way too worried about the size of my thighs to be a Grace! Ha ha!!
These jeans rock! Nothing can touch DL1961. A perfect, socially conscious place to get them? http://www.peterspathstore.com…they give portions of every sale to charity!
I am most definitely a Jennifer girl! I’m a Jennifer gal because I have been wearing and loving flare style jeans ever since I can remember! I am most comfortable wearing jeans (as opposed to anything else) and most days you will find me in a rockin pair with either a cute tee if I am not going out, or if I’m heading out somewhere I will wear a chic fringe boucle jacket over my tee with a pair of 2-3 inch heels. I get so excited when I learn about a new hot pair of jeans and today I am thrilled to learn about these really hip and cool Jennifer jeans from DL1961! Thanks so much for the chance to enter!
I will have to join the majority here and say that I am definitely a Jennifer girl. I just love the classic boot cut. I find the flare very flattering. I wish I could get into the skinny jean look, but it’s just a little too trendy for me and I don’t think I could pull it off! I have lost over 60 ibs. since September through exercise, portion control and eating healthy. I still have my size 16 jeans in my closet and I am in desperate need a pair of size 8 now! I have waited to buy any jeans until I was finshed losing weight, and I would love to start my new jean collection with a pair of DL1961′s. They sound and look fabulous!
Jennifer all the way! I just spent last weekend trying on seriously 10 pairs of jeans and could not decide! I don’t want to spend 100.00 on jeans and only love them until I wash them once. I’m so going to check these out! Thanks for the fab. review
Definitely a Jennifer girl! 7 weeks after a baby and I’m anxious to get back into designer denim to help me feel and look better.
Love the Jennifer and they look like great jeans! Hopefully I can get them in my pre-pregnancy size!
DEFINITELY a JENNIFER! Thanks for the giveaway!
Jennifer for me! Don’t think I could pull the Grace off, though I would love to.
LOVE BOTH STYLES, BUT DEFINITELY A JENNIFER GIRL.
AWESOME GIVEAWAY.
Definitely Jennifer. Got the short legs and the pear shape hips so there’s no way I could do the grace.
I am a Jennifer girl. At 4 foot 11 that is the only way to go! Wish I could pull off the Grace thing…I really do! I know how much Deb and Jen love these jeans and would be thrilled to win a pair!
As a Jennifer, definitely a Jennifer girl!! Love the bootcut style. And could definitely use jeans with a little fit with one very busy two year old running around the house and trying for #2!
Thanks!
I’m a Jennifer. Can’t quite pull off the skinny jeans, wish I could! Thanks for the giveaway, these look great!
Jennifer, absolutely!
