Did My Jeans Shrink???

How many of you get new shoes and think of what jeans you have that are long or short enough to wear them? With sky high heels in style and not only going no where but getting higher by the season(thank goodness :-)...Denim lengths can be tricky....
I did all of the work for you to let you know lengths (long and short) of my favorite brands....
I'm a jeans girl...always have been and always will....here you go:

Most Regular length jeans are 34-34 1/2 inch inseam... back when 7 for all mankind came out, I remember regular was 32"... somehow in the past 10 years 2 inches has been added on to regular length jeans...Good for some not so much for us short gals....thankfully several premium denim companies are putting out a petite length jean. They fit just like the regular jeans but with a shorter inseam anywhere from 30-31 1/2. Paige, Joe's jeans, True Religion, 7 for all mankind, Citizens of Humanity all have recently added petite jeans .... look at the inseam before you buy online... and remember if you are wearing a great platform, you still may be better off buying the regular length jeans and getting them tailored... ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS have them replace the ORIGINAL hem. Nothing is worse then paying all that $$$ for jeans and having them look hemmed.... I STILL say it to my tailor... you never know... even if you get them shortened at Nordstrom or Saks...SAY IT... regular hems are easier and if they can get away with it, why wouldn't they?!

For you talk drinks of water, ugh i secretly am so jealous of tall girls... anyway...for you girls...I, YES, the short girl did some research... mostly because my sister in law keeps telling me she needs longer jeans, so she inspired me! Here goes... Paige, True Religion and Rock and Republic all come in a 36" inseam... IN my shopping experience, Rock and Republic are the longest jeans out there... I'm almost positive that their regular length is 36" but if your not a fan then get online and hit up Paige and True Religion.

Hope this helps... I have to admit...both of my kids are screaming right now so I really have no idea if any of this makes sense! I'm gonna post it anyway...after all this is just me being ME~ Enjoy and happy Saturday! xo P

  1. Just came across your blog..very interesting. What do you recommend (brand wise) for the fuller woman. I just had 3 kids back to back and haven't gotten my body back to shape yet. I can't seem to find jeans to fit! Do you have any recommendations? I love fashion and always want to get the latest and greatest, but most top brand names, that make beautiful clothes, do not cater towards the big and beautiful woman. Looking forward to reading more!

  2. Hi Bobbi...I just saw this post, I'm sorry for the late response...without knowing your size, I recommend Joe's jeans...they do cater more to the "curvy" woman. I'm going to do a little research for you today and will give you more information later! Thank you so much for reading!!!
