Is this the same as Madewell's regular Pencil Jean?

It is the petite version, cut shorter with a 27-inch inseam and proportioned for smaller frames. The rise and slim straight leg follow the regular Pencil Jean.

How stretchy is the denim?

It is Madewell's Super Stretch: 99% cotton with 1% elastane. It feels soft and forgiving on, but expect it to relax slightly over a day of wear.

Will the 27-inch inseam work on me?

It is designed for petite frames and typically lands at or near the ankle. Taller shoppers will find it cropped.

A 10 1/4-inch high rise that sits at or just below the natural waist.

How should I care for them?

Wash cold inside out and line dry to limit shrinkage and keep the stretch from breaking down. Skip the dryer.

One pair of jeans. No belt or other accessories are included.

Our take on the Madewell The Petite Pencil Jean

The Petite Pencil Jean is Madewell's high-rise slim straight jean cut for shorter frames, with a 10 1/4-inch rise and a 27-inch inseam. Super Stretch denim (99% cotton, 1% elastane) and Magic Pockets in front are meant to smooth the hip and hold shape through the day. It suits shoppers who want a polished cigarette-leg look for work and weekends without hemming. Against rigid skinny jeans it is softer and more forgiving; against Madewell's own rigid denim it gives up some structure and tends to relax with wear.

Pros

27-inch inseam fits petite frames without tailoring
High 10 1/4-inch rise stays put and flatters the waist
Super Stretch denim moves with you and holds its shape
Magic Pockets smooth the front hip area
Slim straight leg reads dressier than a skinny jean

Cons

Stretch denim can bag at the knee by day's end
Slim straight cut may feel tight through the thigh for some
Limited to one wash and petite sizing only
Cotton-rich stretch still needs careful washing to keep its fit
