The verdict
Fit
Most owners find it true to size (Rent the Runway shows 7 of 10 true to size, 3 runs large), but several buyers reported it arrived too big, with one wondering whether to size down two sizes and Shopbop summarizing customer feedback as 'runs large.' The vintage straight leg is relaxed through the leg with stretch panels at the waist for room through each trimester.
Quality
Durability is the standout concern: one owner reported the jeans ripped where the stretch panel attaches and the other panel began unraveling within about three weeks and before washing, and another said the elastic started ripping after roughly a month of not-daily wear.
Is the price fair?
At USD 199 this is premium pricing for maternity denim, and the recurring panel-failure reports make the value harder to justify unless a shopper prioritizes the fit and look over expected longevity.
Best for
An expecting shopper who wants a fitted vintage-straight maternity jean and is willing to trade some durability risk for the cut, ideally sizing carefully given reports it can run large.
Care
Wash cold inside out and skip the dryer to reduce stress on the stretch panels where owners report failures.

What owners report about DL1961 jeans
Owners report the line's defining trait is its stretch fabric: reviewers say the jeans are very comfortable, do not bag out, and return to shape after washing — one long-term wearer said hers fit like new after every wash. Aggregated customer feedback is more mixed on sizing, splitting between snug and too big depending on style. Customer reviews on Trustpilot include a minority reporting early failures — fabric splitting and belt loops ripping within a few months — so durability reports are not uniform.
- Strengths
- Reviewers consistently praise the stretch fabric's comfort and shape retention — it stretches with the body without bagging out or losing shape between washes.
- Watch out for
- A minority of customer reviews report premature failures — fabric splits and ripped belt loops within months — and sizing feedback is inconsistent across styles.
- Sizing
- Mixed: one denim reviewer found them running slightly big and quite snug at the same waist size, while aggregated customer feedback splits between snug and too large — check the per-style fit notes before ordering.
