Diane, I love your jeans. However they are a little to short. I am tall and 34 long would be better than 33.5. Please…
Diane, PLEASE, PLEASE make your jeans in a 0 petite. There are many of us gals that are small boned and the size 2 are too big. I love your jeans, always buying them in the 2 petite and then have to have them altered, so please consider this request.
Dear Diane Gilman,
I ordered my first DG item this month and I love it! The Cascade ruffle front tee! It is wonderful. Here’s my problem, I want another one, I want several!!! I’d love it in black, white, chocolate brown, you name the color and I’ll buy it! Please come back with more. The purple one is one of the best items in my wardrobe. PLEASE, PLEASE, COME BACK WITH MORE. The material and quality of this item is fantastic. The ease and wearability of this item is outstanding.
Love your jeans — how about some dress pants that fit this well… I can’t wear jeans to work….
I am distressed because I just received a size 14 distressed boot cut jean in indigo after being on the wait list and they are too little! How about a size 16 on the waitlist? Sizing issues are driving me crazy!!!!! I know you have to be fast with Diane’s stuff but I was fast!!!
I just received the velvet jackets and jeans that I ordered on 10/31. Love them!!! Have a request for next year if you do the velvet again. Would you do them in turquoise and white. Thank you for making jeans that fit me again.
I’m a complete devotee of your jeans! I’m building a collection and tell everyone about the wonderful quality, style and particularly the fit. But, the last few pair I’ve ordered, the fit seems to have changed (sz 8). Have you made the waist larger? My weight hasn’t changed but all of a sudden with these last purchases, the waist is too big, and I find when I sit, the back of the jeans gap and pull down. PLEASE don’t change the fit and cut of your wonderful jeans!!
Diane, What about us size 12 tall ladies. Tried to purchase a pair after I rec’v the sunkist white today in 12 tall & almost every jean, none left in 12T. Please I have the money to burn right now after losing 147 pounds but no where to burn it? I just gave away three pairs of size 24 tall jeans that I bought last year. Now I am a 12 tall. You have every other size but that? please stock up in that size. If thats a popular size, make more… very disappointed in your selection this date.
Hi Diane, I also LOVE your fashions. They are so upbeat and hip. I just feel appropriately dressed for my age (44), but not boring. I would love if you could come out with a thigh- length black velvet jacket something like your ponte knit boyfriend blazer with the longer length.I could see that with a long layered vintage silver necklace with pearls, jeans, and black boots. Wow hot!
Hi Diane, I want to start out saying I love most of your cloths so much. Your tunics are the best ever! I have ONE BIG REQUEST — WHY CAN’T YOU MAKE JUST ONE PAIR OF JEANS JUST UNDER THE BELLY BUTTON? Why do they all have to be way above the belly button. We do not all have muffin spill and would like to enjoy your jeans too. I would love to try then again if you did that. As it is your jeans flatten my hinnie and make it look very UNflattering. Please consider.
hi diane,i love ur fashions i have several of ur jeans and jeans suits i have been looking 4 more of ur jean pants set please email me to ur latest jean set or jeans suits people turn their heads when i wear them love n happy holidays…
I know it gets so tiresome with everyone telling you what they want and how they want it and how you should do this and that and so forth.( I would know im a mother of 7). So the reason for my post is to ask a quick question. I am a person watcher I find myself saying they need Jeans with a flap that goes over the belly on the outsideto accent the womans curves.If you cant picture it try your best fitting jean with a triangle off the side and buttons at the waist and hides the belly or rolls.
Diane, please bring us more amanda trousers in the gabardine fabric. I wear only DG bottoms because no other brand fits my apple shape. The gabardine fabric was care free, could hang in the closet forever or pack in a suitcase, never a wrinkle. Also, they were warmer in the winter months than the average dress slacks. I had lost weight and gave away all my larger sizes, now I need to reorder, please bring them back.
hi diane – love, love your line – i have many of your clothes, including the silks you used to make – a few years ago, i bought a white blouse that never, ever needed ironing. all i had to do was wash, hang and wear! – somehow it got washed in the machine with other things and darkened – i have not been able to find this blouse in your line. pleasssseeee make it again – absolutely the best button down white blouse i ever owned!
thanx
Dear Diane ..will you have more of you beaded floral embroidered boot cut chambry jeans again i really loved them but since i’ve lost weight i need a size 4 please let me know if and were i can get them your’e the best and thanks for real woman jeans …sincerly Diane Overton
Dear Diane, I hope you will be back soon with more boot-cut jeans. I purchased your capri-length jeans in 16W in black. They were tight, so I purchased the velvet boot-cut jean in 18W. They were too loose to be flattering, so I sent them back. I’m on the waitlist for the 16W in the velvet jean and want to purchase your regular stretch book-cut jean in black. I also ordered your velvet jack in 1X and found it tight. I do love your jeans and jackets but no longer know what size to order.
Dear Diane, I already have your leopard jacket, which fits this petite grandma perfectly. I decided that although you are slim and I am not, that I would try the expresso stretch velvet bootcut jeans and bought the matching jacket. They just came, and I am so excited to say that I look great in them! You said that I would be sorry if I didn’t order other colors, so I’m hopping on the wait list to get them in black. Who cares when they arrive, when you live in MA winter goes on indefinitely.
Diane, I love your jeans and have many different styles (right now I’m in the skinny leg blue jean) but I have a problem with getting a light colored crease on the leg that I can’t get rid of. Obviously I’m doing something wrong–can you help? By the way, I got two of your biker pants last week and can’t wait to wear them–53 years old and a biker chick, who knew!
Diane,
You once said on air that as women age they loose the fatty padding on the bottom of their feet. Here’s your challenge: design of boots and shooties that have well-padded insole, low heels, and european toe — The Baby Boomer fashion shoe. — What do you think!!!
Diane, I love your clothes and love you. Would you consider next year doing a the velvet in a skinny leg. They would look fab with sequin tunic and killer high heels. The skinny jeans make me feel young and are so flattering. Thanks, Marsha
Diane,
I know you have heard this before, but I love your clothes. I have so many of your items and love them all. You have a special gift. I have to ask you something though. I have been getting your jeans in 18wp. The length is perfect. My question is I wish the back of the jeans would rise up more. Does this mean that I need a misses instead? I would appreciate your input on this. Keep them coming and your look GREAT to be in your early 60’s. You must be doing something right. :-)
Diane please bring back the stretch velvet embellished jackets, I was one of the very lucky ones who purchased the espresso and the silver, the only problem is I ordered the black and got the silver, and when I went to order the black it was already sold out!! I have to have the black one!! I love bling and the jacket has it all!!!! They are gorgeous! Please bring it back!!!!
Diane, I purchased five pair of your velvet jeans and four of the velvet jackets. I was blown away by the quality of the clothes. These are truly investment quality pieces.I like my clothes to fit loose and the stretch in the jeans will accommodate weight gain and loss. The quality of the fabric is simply outstanding. The velvet sets can be mixed and matched and complement other clothes. If a person has broad shoulders make sure to get the correct size. You have a customer for life. Dee
Diane, I am soooooooooo disappointed on your Acid Wash Jeans and Jackets. Only because I bought the brown and purple jackets and jeans. I had to send them back only to be very unhappy to find that the did ont have the colors in my size. I ordered the same size 6 jeans, and Small in the jacket. I had to go up to a Med and 8, but did not have my size. I received my refund but had rather had the jeans and jackets. Why have you changed your sizing? I like things the way they were.
Diane…
Thanks for all that you do BUT think I may faint away as I did not get that fabulous long sleeved chiffon ruffled top in black !!! When I finally saw it only purple was left and then it was gone.
PLEASE bring it back or just send me one …lol…I’ll pay double !!
Bought about 11 items in your recent collection…did get 3 of the sleeveless chiffon ruffle tops…2 velvet suits…2 velvet jackets…etc…etc…etc
