They are the best inexpensive jeans I've ever owned and have 2 more pair on order. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/affordable-but-quality-denim#post-188189 Thu, 22 Jul 2010 18:29:45 +0000 AlexSue 188189@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the suggestions everyone! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/affordable-but-quality-denim#post-185649 Mon, 19 Jul 2010 04:13:46 +0000 Sihaya 185649@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gap is my first choice for what you're describing. You can try Express but they stretch out more. I have also had some good luck with Land's End - they carry them at Sears and have a fabulous return policy if things don't work out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/affordable-but-quality-denim#post-185641 Mon, 19 Jul 2010 04:03:19 +0000 Anonymous 185641@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My local Gap is having a sale every Wednesday during July ... one non-sale item for 40% off. In-store only. I received coupons for these sales when I made a recent purchase, so I don't know if you have to make a purchase to get the coupons, but it's worth asking about ...</p> <p>Otherwise, Kut from the Kloth denim at Nordstrom gets good reviews and there are several offerings in the $50 price range. I have some denim bermuda shorts from Kut from the Kloth that I'm happy with, although you need to size down, as they do stretch. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/affordable-but-quality-denim#post-185637 Mon, 19 Jul 2010 04:01:12 +0000 Tanya 185637@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would personally stay away from Gap, they tend to stretch out quite a bit. For excellent quality nothing beats premium denim. They are pricey, but can be found at great discounts.</p> <p>For example, smartbargains.com always has good deals on premium denim. At size 2, you probably need a 26, right? Here is everything they currently have in that size:</p> <p><a href="http://www.smartbargains.com/search.aspx?t=Cat-Refine.dept-9.cat-2204.show-48.&#038;sdr=true&#038;sfsf=true&#038;k=Denim+Shop&#038;catid=2204&#038;deptid=9&#038;an=Womens%20size&#038;av=26&#038;sp=All+Products%252f%252f%252f%252fWomen%27s+Apparel+Bargains%252f%252f%252f%252fDenim+Shop%252f%252f%252f%252f&#038;perpage=48&#038;page=1" rel="nofollow">http://www.smartbargains.com/s.....038;page=1</a></p> <p>and some that might fit your requirements:</p> <p><a href="http://www.smartbargains.com/go.sb?pagename=prod&#038;sp=All%2BProducts%252f%252f%252f%252fWomen%2527s%2BApparel%2BBargains%252f%252f%252f%252fDenim%2BShop%252f%252f%252f%252fAttribSelect%253dWomens%2Bsize%253d%252726%2527%252f%252f%252f%252f&#038;dk=Denim%2520Shop&#038;deptid=9&#038;catid=315&#038;prodid=1411607611&#038;t=Cat-Refine.dept-9.cat-2204.prod.28" rel="nofollow">http://www.smartbargains.com/g.....04.prod.28</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.smartbargains.com/go.sb?pagename=prod&#038;sp=All%2BProducts%252f%252f%252f%252fWomen%2527s%2BApparel%2BBargains%252f%252f%252f%252fDenim%2BShop%252f%252f%252f%252fAttribSelect%253dWomens%2Bsize%253d%252726%2527%252f%252f%252f%252f&#038;dk=Denim%2520Shop&#038;deptid=9&#038;catid=315&#038;prodid=1411607504&#038;t=Cat-Refine.dept-9.cat-2204.prod.29" rel="nofollow">http://www.smartbargains.com/g.....04.prod.29</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/affordable-but-quality-denim#post-185636 Mon, 19 Jul 2010 04:00:56 +0000 chewyspaghetti 185636@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I buy premium denim off ebay in that price range.

I'm in love with Gap's "sexy bootcut" jeans, but at $70.00, I don't know if I could justify that purchase Any suggestions? BTW, I'm a petite hourglass (5'4" - so I do usually have to buy regular length pants and then have them slightly hemmed) and usually a size 2. </p> <p>Thanks so much! </p>
