Which is better for a curvy figure?

The NYDJ Barbara is built for shaping, with its Lift Tuck panel and high rise. The Avenue is softer and more forgiving at the waist but has a skinny leg that hugs more below the knee.

The NYDJ has a structured denim build and a traditional fly, which usually holds shape longer. The Avenue's high polyester content and elastic waistband tend to relax with wear, and it needs air drying.

Is the NYDJ worth the extra $22?

If you want a bootcut jean with real denim structure and shaping, yes. If comfort and price matter more, the Avenue at $42.99 covers that.

Which is better for petites?

The Avenue comes in a 26 in. petite inseam, which is a clear advantage. The NYDJ comes in petite sizes but the listing does not state an inseam, so check the length before buying.

Which is easier to care for?

The NYDJ can go in the washer and dryer like regular denim. The Avenue must be washed cold and line dried, with no ironing.

Do both come in plus sizes?

Yes. The NYDJ runs from size 2 to 24 including plus, and the Avenue is a plus size petite style.
