This is the second pair of NYDJ Clarissa Ankle (size 10) I've purchased.The color I bought was Rosewater Blush, which I thought was going to be a pale pink (hard to tell from the photo). I didn't really want that color, but it was such a good price for NYJD pants (about $17.00) and I'd loved my previous purchase so much that I thought I would try to dye them. However, buyer beware! These are much more of a pale beige. This works for my wardrobe, but if you are looking for a pale pink or rose, these are not for you. (Also, the color shows dirt relatively easily.)After washing, this pair seemed similar in fit to my previous purchase (before washing they seemed slightly larger). The pants were slightly large at the back of the waistband, but I've had that problem with most pants. A belt helps them fit without too much gapping or bunching. Otherwise, the fit is perfect on me. (I generally wear an 8 to 10 in U.S. sizing. I'm long-legged and long-waisted, but not enough to require a "tall" cut. A lot of the pants that have my waist and hips in the past, have been far too long in the leg and/or crotch.)I've been looking for comfortable, well-fitting pants for ages, and the Clarissa Ankle (size 10) are the first ones I've found that work for me in at least nine months. I almost cried after I tried on the first pair.I've seen some complaints related to this cut not being a "true" skinny pant, but nearly all the skinny-legged pants I've tried on have been far too comfortable for me to wear. For me, the Clarissa Ankle cut provides an actually flattering skinny-legged without the pain. These are the pants that have finally allowed me to move beyond boot-cut and flares.I really love them. These would be five stars if not for the slight gapping and color confusion.
