I hunted down these specific bell bottom jeans forEVER, and here's a listing for them. The MAIJ WSRY brand of these jeans blew my mind. The listing I bought from is gone, so I'll share my thoughts here.First, the jeans are incredibly flattering. They sit high on the waist, they make your butt look great, they're tight around the thighs and loose around the shins (duh) . . . they look perfect. For some random overseas brand that doesn't even have a website, they look and fit amazing. They're actual jean material, not fake denim or anything. The pictures are accurate to how they look. I adore them.They also fit. I'm 5'6" with a ~26" inseam, and most expensive bell bottom jeans have ridiculously long inseams. I expect bell bottoms to be longer because that's just how they are, but the inseams are 32, 33, even 34 inches! That is WAY too long for the average person; they'll drag on the ground. I am definitely not a short woman, nor do I have short legs. I'd say these jeans probably have an inseam around 29".UNFORTUNATELY . . . yes, there is a problem, which is why I give them only four stars . . . the zipper comes off the track entirely. Like, when I zip up the jeans, the zipper stops *don't* stop it and it comes completely loose. Because these are jeans, it's not as simple as putting a zipper back on a jacket. You have to cut the jeans and sew them back up to get the zipper on. I did that, and then the zipper came off again.The problem is that the zipper stops are too small. If you look at a pair of jeans you own, you'll notice the top zipper "teeth" (the stops) are larger than the others to keep the zipper from coming loose. On these jeans, the stops are just ever so slighter larger than the other teeth and don't do much at all. I wore the jeans quite a few times before the zipper came off, but the problem returned, and they're out of commission once again. It breaks my heart.Still, these are my FAVORITE jeans. I'm going to repair the zipper again and replace the stops with bigger ones. It's a lot of work for a pair of pants off of Amazon, but it is 100% worth it. I'll probably buy them again in a different color and replace the stops. I'm just that in love with them.If you're thinking, "$30 for a pair of jeans from China?! How good can they be?" They. Are. SO. Good. Do it and don't look back. It'll be the best $30 you ever spend, just REPLACE THE ZIPPER STOPS before you wear them to avoid having to sew! Stops are cheap, or you can take bigger stops from an old pair of jeans you already own and use those. Use wire-cutter pliers to pull the stops off, and use needle-nose pliers to pinch them back on. Super quick fix for a lot of satisfaction.
