Question about Melrose

Hi Everybody

This is my first post. I really love Paige Premium Denim, specifically Laurel Canyon and Hollywood Hills. I was wondering what you guys think of the Melrose? I haven't had the opportunity to try a pair on. The reason I am asking about the Melrose is I have a pair of COH Ava that's straight leg that I love the fit. I am fairly petite so I like my jeans to be fairly tight. Although the LC and HH aren't straight legged, I really like how they fit on the butt and thigh area...so I was hoping the Melrose fits the same with just a tighter leg.

Also, if there are any other brand/style jeans you would recommend that fits like the LC or Hollwood Hills please let me know!

Thanks!
Gia

yep.

You'll love them! I'm hoping to soon own my first pair of melrose's! Not dark resin like I'd like, but I'm gonna settle (for now, hehe).

I just got a pair of Melroses and to me they fit just like my LC's with about a .5" higher rise and of course the straighter, tighter leg. I need to get those babies hemmed now too!

Edit: just an FYI if for some reason you end up getting Dk Clean Melroses, I sized down to a 25 for my pair and they still are not as tight fitting as my 26 LCs.

aaah, sweetie, can you post pics when you get them back? I'd love to see them....

They seem very nice, are they straight leg like TR billy?? Oh, I must do a little research for these....

Thanks guys! Now I'll definitely have to try one on

I've seen a few as low as under $100 at online stores on sale, but unfortunately not in my size.

Sweetiepie2209 - thanks for the size infor, I too wear a 26 in LC.

no it was a pair I was watching, they were a 27 but I do have 27 in paige but since you said they run big that's means they def. won't fit.
