So, when it comes to hemming those jeans, I have decided to do regular hem, and length as for regular bootcuts, which is for me a tiny bit above the floor- I like to wear my jeans as long as possible. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-couple-of-wiws-from-this-week-with-a-hemming-question#post-589272 Fri, 06 Apr 2012 04:49:41 +0000 Jenava 589272@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great! It's so nice to see you back again.</p> <p>I would hem the jeans as for bootcuts. I never do the original hem on any of my denim...I just request the same color of thread as the rest of the garment. I don't think you need to do that unless there is something really special about the hem. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-couple-of-wiws-from-this-week-with-a-hemming-question#post-589046 Thu, 05 Apr 2012 23:15:16 +0000 catgirl 589046@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are all so lovely and flattering! The wrap dress is to die for, and #2 is such a great casual-chic look. You are a style star! And I'd say no original hem needed... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-couple-of-wiws-from-this-week-with-a-hemming-question#post-589043 Thu, 05 Apr 2012 23:11:05 +0000 Aida 589043@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All lovely outfits Tanya, I'm really loving #2 (that's my kind of casual!). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-couple-of-wiws-from-this-week-with-a-hemming-question#post-588965 Thu, 05 Apr 2012 21:34:01 +0000 harmonica 588965@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All your outfits look great! You look very comfortable, yet stylish. If I had to choose a favorite it must be #4 (due to fab dress) and #2 (due to fab siluette and great casual feel).</p> <p>Hemming - I support christieanne </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-couple-of-wiws-from-this-week-with-a-hemming-question#post-588916 Thu, 05 Apr 2012 20:48:56 +0000 Anonymous 588916@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your outfits. You wear your hems the same way I do, so if they're wrong, I'm in serious trouble. LOL! My rule of thumb is that the wider the pant leg is, the longer the inseam length should be. I also make sure my wider-legged pants clear the floor by 1/2 to 1 inch. I don't want to look like I'm expecting a flood (old joke from the 1970s), but I don't want to walk on my pants. Hope this helps! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-couple-of-wiws-from-this-week-with-a-hemming-question#post-588892 Thu, 05 Apr 2012 20:26:21 +0000 bella 588892@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is lovely to see you posting again Tanya! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-couple-of-wiws-from-this-week-with-a-hemming-question#post-588804 Thu, 05 Apr 2012 19:04:43 +0000 Tanya 588804@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all very much!<br /> Carole, hemming with original hem is usually done to preserve the look of the hem, and the tailor will cut of the hem, remove the excess material and then reattach the hem, so nobody can tell that the jeans have been hemmed in the first place. It looks like there is no need for that here, so I will ask for regular hemming. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-couple-of-wiws-from-this-week-with-a-hemming-question#post-588719 Thu, 05 Apr 2012 17:51:11 +0000 Suz 588719@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wish I had some adviice for the hemming question. I am unsure. I think it would depend on the width of the bottoms. But they look great here! </p> <p>Super outfits, too. I always love seeing interpretations of Angie's fab formulas. And it's neat to see casual and dressier looks in one post. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-couple-of-wiws-from-this-week-with-a-hemming-question#post-588718 Thu, 05 Apr 2012 17:50:20 +0000 christieanne 588718@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wouldn't worry about the original hem thing with colored jeans although you could ask for a Hollywood Hem (which my alterations lady told me is faster and a little cheaper for her to do) and it keeps the original hem in place but adds a little thread just above the hem line. </p> <p>I love your date night dress on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-couple-of-wiws-from-this-week-with-a-hemming-question#post-588705 Thu, 05 Apr 2012 17:44:32 +0000 Anonymous 588705@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are great, and my faves are the last 3. I'll leave the hemming advice to the experts, but I love the *skinny boot* cut of those jeans. You have the legs for it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-couple-of-wiws-from-this-week-with-a-hemming-question#post-588621 Thu, 05 Apr 2012 17:07:56 +0000 texstyle 588621@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All 4 are really great outfits and look perfect on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-couple-of-wiws-from-this-week-with-a-hemming-question#post-588581 Thu, 05 Apr 2012 16:52:08 +0000 jayne 588581@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh you are gorgeous and so are those outfits.

Killer wrap dress. I never have to hem jeans, usually they are never long enough, so I can't help out there. I'm not sure what you mean by hemming "with the original hem"? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-couple-of-wiws-from-this-week-with-a-hemming-question#post-588514 Thu, 05 Apr 2012 15:36:47 +0000 Ana 588514@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love all your outfits, Tanya! You look beautiful for your date night, and I love the relaxed vibe of outfit #2!</p> <p>I don't think you have to have the original hem on the colored jeans. But I never get my jeans hemmed with the original hem, just the original thread color, if that makes sense. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-couple-of-wiws-from-this-week-with-a-hemming-question#post-588497 Thu, 05 Apr 2012 15:18:02 +0000 Tanya 588497@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here are a couple of my outfits from this week. The first three are work ones and all have very different vibe to them - the first one is a bit more dressed up for a presentation, the second was for uber-casual day in the lab involving lots of packing, and the third one is a literal interpretation of Angie's colored jeans formula: with grey/white striped top, grey leather jacket, grey shoes and a cream bag. The fourth outfit for a date night is my old trusty DVF wrap navy dress, updated for the season with green accessories.</p> <p>About red jeans in #3: these are my only colored jeans, which have been sitting in my closet for about half a year as they need hemming and I never got around to doing it. I even wore them here folded and un-hemmed, but that was a pain! So, does one hem colored jeans with original hem or not? I know that blue denim jeans need it, while white don't, as they are made of uniform twill. Also, I am kind of stumped at the length at which to hem them. The jeans are "skinny bootcut" jeans, and they are basically skinny with slight flare at the bottom that has to be stretched to go over heels. I am thinking to hem them as if they were regular bootcuts, but not certain. I have included a link with stock photos if that helps. <a href="http://www.richandskinnyjeans.com/Wedge__Wine/pd/c/26/np/26/p/1292.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.richandskinnyjeans....../1292.html</a></p> <p>#1: cream Mango sweater vest, lilac Express shirt, Joe's trouser jeans, nude Franco Sarto wedges<br /> #2: Gap denim shirt, Proenza Schouler for Target striped tee, olive VS skinny cargos, grey suede Aerosoles wedges<br /> #3: Frenchie grey leather jacket, BR striped top,.
