HURRAH!!! So glad your jean quest came to a happy end eventually!

Maya, that's great! They look waaaaay beter now. I have my fingers crossed that they stay like that!

Hooray, great news! They look really good.

Maya, you crack me up! Those jeans look great on you. You have the cutest little figure! Wish I could wedge myself into those tiny little jeans! Looking forward to your outfit posts!

I'm so happy the jeans worked out for you, Maya. They fit you really well and show off your adorable figure :)

Yeah! They look great. I'm going to have to try the water trick sometime too!

I was trying on some premium denim today and liked the J Brand 14" mid-rise cigarette leg jeans - they have a comfy 9" rise! Not sure if you have tried these on yet but just wanted to add one more to your list.

Hooray, Maya has found her jeans. The jeans look fantastic on you!

Yay - now on to the dress!

Terrific, what a difference just that little bit of stretch did for the jeans, they fit great! I forgot- what brand are they??

Jean, the brand is Earnest Sewn and the style is Zazo.

Thanks for the validation everyone!

Shana, I did have a look at the J Brand cigarettes but I would need to know the back rise to be sure. I have a bunch of styles filed away in my noodle for future reference. 7FAM also has a high rise straight leg but it isn't on sale anywhere yet. I would love to get my mitts on the high waist Roxannes though. They are skinny but not as skinny as my current pair of 10" pegleg jeans.
