Two quick questions. We pick your length and size, and you can change either one.
Heights are a typical guide. Your own inseam matters most, so go by it if your legs run longer or shorter: measure from your crotch to your ankle bone. Laura is 5'2" with a 27.5" inseam and wears the Short 29". How to measure
Rise is 10 3/4" in size 3 and 13 5/8" in size 18W.
How to measure your inseam
One minute and a tape measure. This number matters more than your height.
- Stand straight, barefoot, feet slightly apart.
- Hold the tape at your crotch and run it down the inside of your leg.
- Stop at your ankle bone. That number is your inseam.
- Lay them flat and smooth out the legs.
- Measure from the crotch seam down the inside leg.
- Stop at the hem.
Laura is 5'2" with a 27.5" inseam and wears the Short 29". Many women like a little extra length, especially with shoes.

Designed for Real Life
Some days call for comfort. Others call for looking polished and put together. The Marie delivers both. The combination of lightweight stretch denim, built-in tummy control, and a classic straight leg fit means you can move through your day without constantly adjusting, tugging, or counting down the hours until you change clothes.
Three inseam options help eliminate the frustration of settling for a length that's "close enough," creating a more customized fit that feels tailored to you.
Fit & Fabric
Fit Note: True to size with maximum stretch. Most customers find this matches their usual department store jeans size. For example, if you are typically a waist size 26 in Levi's, you should get a waist size 26 in The Marie.
Shopping boutique brands? Most customers prefer to size up one size from their usual boutique size. If you wear a size 5 in Judy Blue, you will wear a size 7 in The Marie.
For full measurements, please refer to the size chart.

Size 3: 10.75"

The Why Behind the Design
Most women don't need more restrictive denim. They need denim that works with real life. The Marie was designed to eliminate the compromises that make jeans frustrating to wear: waistband gapping, uncomfortable pressure through the midsection, lengths that never feel quite right, and denim that loses its shape after a few hours.
By combining hip-to-hip tummy control, ultra-stretch lightweight denim, and three inseam options, The Marie delivers the comfort women want with the polished look they still love in a great pair of jeans.

Questions women ask us
Straight answers from our fit team.
Will the Marie gap in the back?
No. The Marie is fitted through the waist so it does not gap at the back.
Do the Marie jeans have tummy control?
Yes. A built in hip to hip panel smooths and supports your midsection without squeezing.
Are the Marie jeans true to size?
Yes. They are true to size, so most women wear their usual department store size. If you wear a 26 in Levi's, choose a 26 in the Marie. If you wear a 5 in Judy Blue, choose a 7 in the Marie.
What if I'm between sizes?
Size down for a more fitted, still comfortable look. Curvy sizes 14W to 24W can size down too. They will be a bit more fitted.
Is the Marie good for warm weather?
Yes. The Marie is a lightweight, summer weight denim with maximum stretch, so it stays comfortable when it is warm.
What is the rise of the Marie?
The rise is 10 3/4" in size 3 and 13 5/8" in size 18W.
Which inseam should I choose for my height?
The Short 29.5" typically fits 5'4" and under, the Regular 32.5" typically fits 5'5" to 5'8", and the Long 35.5" typically fits 5'9" and up. Your own inseam matters most, so measure from your crotch to your ankle bone. Laura, our founder, is 5'2" with a 27.5" inseam. She wears the Marie in a size 1, Short 29.5".
Will I need to hem the Marie?
Everyone is built a little differently, so measure first. Your inseam runs from your crotch to your ankle bone, and many women like a length a little longer than their measurement, especially with shoes.
Are the Marie jeans good for petite and tall women?
Yes. The Marie comes in three inseams: Short 29.5", Regular 32.5" and Long 35.5". Petite women can choose the Short and tall women can choose the Long.
What sizes does the Marie come in?
Sizes 00 to 15 and curvy sizes 14W to 24W, each in Short 29.5", Regular 32.5" and Long 35.5".
What is the Marie made of?
54% viscose, 23% cotton, 21% polyester and 2% spandex, with maximum stretch. Machine wash cold inside out and tumble dry low.

That one pair of jeans every closet needs. So so soft with just the right amount of stretch, but more importantly it’s THAT pair that go anywhere. Dress up or down with dressy accessories or your favorite sweatshirt. Love this fit and style.
Hi Kathleen, we're thrilled to hear you love the Marie High-Rise Tummy Control Jeans! Thank you for sharing your fantastic feedback. We're so happy they go anywhere with you!
Love love these jeans! Size down from regular size as there is stretch on these! I’m 6 feet and the long lengths are perfect
Christine, thank you! Tall girls finally getting jeans that hit the ankle instead of mid-calf is exactly why we carry the Marie in three inseams. And thanks for the sizing tip. These have a good amount of stretch, so sizing down is a smart move for a lot of shoppers. So glad they're a win! 💙
Love these I’m a 10 store sz but I got a 7 they fit perfectly . Love the fit they’re not uncomfortable at all . They don’t squeeze me in . Love that .
Hi Nancy, we're so happy to hear you're loving your jeans! Thanks for sharing your experience and for shopping with Ava Lane Boutique!
Very nice fit and quality as always
These are my very favorite jeans ever. They are not heavy like most denims. They are soft and stretchy and so comfortable! I absolutely love them! Thank you!
The fabric is thin, without being too thin and stretchy without being too stretchy. They are prefect!
I had weight loss surgery in 2023, I told myself the that when I lost all my weight I would invest in a pair of Judy Blues. I still have a little weight to go but I ordered a pair taking that in to account. They are a smidge tight right now but on a few weeks they will fit like a glove and I know the high waist and generous stretch will camouflage my jiggly tummy and allow me to feel confident. I love them and now low key want August to get a move on so I can wear them!
Hi Laura, thank you so much for sharing this sweet review! We’re thrilled that our Ava lane custom jeans are part of this milestone! They’re designed with that high waist and soft, stretchy denim to support and flatter in all the right places, so we’re happy to hear you’re already loving them.
We can’t wait for the months to roll around so you can rock them with full confidence. You deserve to feel amazing in every pair 💛
I think these are the most comfortable jeans I have ever owned.

I LOVE these jeans! They look great, fit great and living in Az the lightweight fabric is perfect. Only downside is that they don’t come in different rises but most styles don’t. I highly recommend them!
We're so happy to hear you're loving your new Marie jeans and that the lightweight fabric is perfect for the Arizona heat. It's great to know they're a perfect fit and that you're enjoying the look and feel of them!
Exactly as described. Great fit.
