I am including a link here to the L'Agence jeans page on Nordstrom - they also carry sizes 33 and 34, which are their equivalents of women's sizes 16 and 18. In looking through the various styles, it does seem that they carry each item up to this size, so you may be in luck! Maybe it's just a difference of what each retailer carries in their inventory. I hope this helps! :)&nbsp;</p> <p>Here's the link to that page:<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="https://shop.nordstrom.com/sr?origin=keywordsearch&amp;keyword=l%27agence+jeans">https://shop.nordstrom.com/sr?.....ence+jeans</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2-jeans-or-not#post-1970271 Tue, 30 Oct 2018 02:35:23 +0000 annagybe 1970271@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for all the input, and understanding about how frustrating this all is.</p> <p>Luxymom, L'Agence, while a cool brand that I am aware of, they don't make anything above a size 12 or jean size 32.&nbsp;<br />It appears I'm a 33 in jeans.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2-jeans-or-not#post-1970261 Tue, 30 Oct 2018 02:10:34 +0000 luxymom 1970261@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi! I have to say that I really like the #2 jeans for a fun addition to a denim line-up. I think they'd look gorgeous with a pair of red heels, or even a pair of white Converse. But I agree, if you're not going to wear them that much, then maybe not worth the investment...</p> <p>My favorite pair overall is #3, for the reason that they're the simplest and most versatile of the options and seem like they'll go with the most types of tops and blouses.&nbsp;</p> <p>Have you ever tried L'Agence jeans? I recently found my favorite pair of skinnies ever from them. The material is amazing and really stretchy (without losing its shape); they wash really well; and they're high rise, which is a new favorite style of mine, personally. Very flattering. Even had another mom stop me in the parking lot at Target to ask me where I got them!&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://shopstyle.it/l/Uiv2">Here's a link to them at Barney's</a>, but you can find them at quite a few different retailers. I purchased mine at Saks.</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://shopstyle.it/l/Uiv2"></a>And also, in case this is of help to mamas in this thread, I recently wrote an article for LUXYMOM about <a rel="nofollow" href="https://luxymom.com/best-mom-jeans-postpartum-guide/">how to find the perfect pair of mom jeans</a>. I know from talking to so many people that even though it's one of our most common purchases, it's so hard to find the perfect pair!</p> <p>Hope this helps! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2-jeans-or-not#post-1970107 Mon, 29 Oct 2018 15:12:36 +0000 Colette 1970107@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for sharing. I saw the grey Frame with the black bottom online and wanted to try them. UGH!!!!&nbsp;What is with all the whiskering? Total bummer.</p> <p>I've been trying on tons of jeans myself and have yet to find a pair. I still don't understand why finding a pair of jeans is so hard?!?!? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2-jeans-or-not#post-1969929 Sun, 28 Oct 2018 22:53:05 +0000 taylor 1969929@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ugh , whiskering making a comeback :(</p> <p>I really love the black cropped ones you posted with the buttons on the front calf from ASOS! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2-jeans-or-not#post-1969798 Sun, 28 Oct 2018 15:58:20 +0000 Angie 1969798@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those look fun, <b>Anna</b>.

It looks like I'll have to order them though </p> <p>ETA, I was hoping to find something more interesting though.

I’m with you on disliking whiskering. But you will persevere and find the one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2-jeans-or-not#post-1968386 Wed, 24 Oct 2018 22:13:21 +0000 Angie 1968386@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Btw, have you tried the Wedgie's? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2-jeans-or-not#post-1968280 Wed, 24 Oct 2018 15:25:22 +0000 Angie 1968280@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>WHY are they whiskering till the cows come home. *SIGH*</p> <p>I love #4 for you - blast that wretched whiskering.&nbsp;</p> <p>You could call #6 your Tuey Jeans </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2-jeans-or-not#post-1968270 Wed, 24 Oct 2018 15:01:00 +0000 Kari 1968270@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ugh. I am distressed to see the return of ugly whiskering. Why? This was all over jeans when I was in high school-it was a question of finding the least awful whiskering as it was hard to find jeans without any.<br /> Shame about the Frame jeans as I like them best of the lot otherwise! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2-jeans-or-not#post-1968235 Wed, 24 Oct 2018 13:50:38 +0000 texstyle 1968235@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>It is hard finding jeans without distressing. I don't mind some fading or slight whiskering, but I don't want to buy overworked designs.</div><div><br /></div><div>I think I'd try a straight leg option if you can find them but out of these I also like the side striped style.<br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2-jeans-or-not#post-1968234 Wed, 24 Oct 2018 13:43:03 +0000 Anonymous 1968234@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the side stripe too, but it sounds like you don't love any of them, so pass. Better will come along Looking forward to the new hair pics! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2-jeans-or-not#post-1968190 Wed, 24 Oct 2018 10:47:30 +0000 Style Fan 1968190@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the side stripe pair the best.&nbsp; Your new hair sounds amazing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2-jeans-or-not#post-1968160 Wed, 24 Oct 2018 07:56:16 +0000 Jessikams 1968160@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The half-black calf is intriguing. I guess it could be used to elongate the line of a black boot? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2-jeans-or-not#post-1968122 Wed, 24 Oct 2018 02:58:54 +0000 Anonymous 1968122@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I quite like the side stripe pair . You’re braver than me - I need new jeans but cannot bring myself to do a massive try-on. Not that there’s anything out here to try on anyways under $250. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2-jeans-or-not#post-1968119 Wed, 24 Oct 2018 02:52:37 +0000 Jaime 1968119@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Also think the Madewell might be the best, although it is hard for me to tell with the angle. I really wish the whole distressing, whiskering thing would go away. Didn't love it at the beginning and have not gotten used to it with time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2-jeans-or-not#post-1968102 Wed, 24 Oct 2018 02:18:52 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1968102@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I ordered a pair of grey Frame with that sewn in pin tuck today, not having seen your post. I am not sure the same ones or not. I feel that they could look too tight for the current style environment but we shall see.</p> <p>I like the Madewell button flys on you, though it's hard to see the full effect in the pic.</p> <p>And I like the idea of the tuxedo/ stripe jeans, but in a straighter leg</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2-jeans-or-not#post-1968099 Wed, 24 Oct 2018 02:10:20 +0000 rachylou 1968099@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Weird whiskering is an epidemic Official Problem now. I looked at some jeans before I went camping: total no go. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2-jeans-or-not#post-1968098 Wed, 24 Oct 2018 02:10:20 +0000 Sal 1968098@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like 2 and 6 of these......but it does not sound like you are convinced.&nbsp; They both are a great fit on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2-jeans-or-not#post-1968094 Wed, 24 Oct 2018 02:05:07 +0000 Roberta 1968094@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the button fly best of the lot. At least the whiskers look as if they were made at crease points instead of painted on randomly. I also like the ankle-biter touches. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2-jeans-or-not#post-1968073 Wed, 24 Oct 2018 01:06:00 +0000 LaPed 1968073@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Slow phone double post </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2-jeans-or-not#post-1968072 Wed, 24 Oct 2018 01:05:44 +0000 LaPed 1968072@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gah, those grey Frames could be so cool without the whiskers!</p> <p>I'm amazed at how many distressed jeans I see on racks and how few I see IRL... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2-jeans-or-not#post-1968071 Wed, 24 Oct 2018 00:58:44 +0000 Janet 1968071@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Why so much whiskering, I wonder? That detail seems so played out to me (I say this even though I still have some jeans with it). Don’t settle for eh. Sorry none of these were exciting. I see potential in the styles but the devil is in the details. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2-jeans-or-not#post-1968067 Wed, 24 Oct 2018 00:34:01 +0000 annagybe 1968067@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So I recently tweaked my color again. Hair is heavily bleached out, with some of the pink remaining. Hairdresser recommended keeping the back longer.&nbsp;<br />The other day I went, well tried to go jeans shopping at the downtown Nordstrom. I didn't want distressed.<br />#1 none of these fit, all GRLFRND brand, including Angie's carpenter jean.<br />#2 Sparkle tuxedo stripes. But given they were over $200, just not that special to me.&nbsp;<br />#3 eh, very eh.<br />#4 Frame, would have been great, 1/2 the calves are black. BUT that whiskering, so so bad.<br />#5 Pintuck was interesting, but why stop at the upper thigh. And even salesperson agreed the fading was weird. I looked at other pintucked jeans and the seam went to the waist.<br />#6 Madewell, cheapest of the lot. Somewhat distressed at the ankle. It looked like Tuey attacked me (one of her names is Bitey McBiteface). Also whiskering not as bad as the Frame's but still.&nbsp;</p> </p>
