This may be the rare situation were photos look better than the mirror - so I may be too hard on myself. I did look at my blue jeans last night and they do indeed have similar wrinkles and don't bother me. And I do like that sweater too.</p> <p>Angie - keep an eye out for thick fabric white jeans that measure 15" around at 18" down the inseam for my everyday jeans.</p> <p>I still need to take in the waist and can probably do it myself, so can anyone comment about how their's have been done per my last paragraph in the original post? And I am curious about whether an extra smidge of room in the hip/upper thigh on the outset might improve the look, if any of our sewists or alteration experts have insight. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-all-kut-chrissy-white-jeans-alteration-question#post-1880969 Sat, 20 Jan 2018 16:03:55 +0000 JAileen 1880969@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the fit looks perfect.

That shirt was made for wearing with white jeans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-all-kut-chrissy-white-jeans-alteration-question#post-1880961 Sat, 20 Jan 2018 15:51:33 +0000 Janet 1880961@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I see nothing wrong with the fit.

I never do this as I’m too worried about weight fluctuations of a couple of kgs then making the fit incorrect....<br /> Lovely jeans, I like the back and side views. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-all-kut-chrissy-white-jeans-alteration-question#post-1880746 Sat, 20 Jan 2018 00:14:03 +0000 LaPed 1880746@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They look great to me -- don't seem overly wrinkly on my screen. I have the same issue with rise -- can rarely do petite sizing because the rises are too short. 9" is a solid mid rise on me, just above the hip. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-all-kut-chrissy-white-jeans-alteration-question#post-1880742 Fri, 19 Jan 2018 23:57:05 +0000 Angie 1880742@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>THESE are everyday white jeans.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-all-kut-chrissy-white-jeans-alteration-question#post-1880739 Fri, 19 Jan 2018 23:54:27 +0000 Angie 1880739@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Corrected my typos. I mean I love these white jeans. </p> <p>Oh, <b>karen13</b>. You crack me up. YES. They aren’t everyday white jeans. I need to commit to a two inch heel when I wear them - so that’s not very often. But I love them - and they shan’t date. Sorted.&nbsp;</p> <p>Some older outfits. Thanks for the kind words</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-all-kut-chrissy-white-jeans-alteration-question#post-1880737 Fri, 19 Jan 2018 23:47:45 +0000 karen13 1880737@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie that is a stunning outfit - you are really making me miss your outfit posts! And after nearly 2 years on YLF, am am starting to recognize the elements that make it so.&nbsp;</p> <p>And you are making me pursue PPL with renewed fervor. It really can raise a great look to amazing. I guess these will mostly have to be city pants for me - with my mountain climate, grime, and lack of sidewalks and pavement in general these wouldn't last 5 minutes. Just wearing them in my house for a half hour without heels showed me how badly my carpets need to be cleaned! I do not have your superpower. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-all-kut-chrissy-white-jeans-alteration-question#post-1880731 Fri, 19 Jan 2018 23:33:22 +0000 Angie 1880731@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These look great. I wouldn’t worry about the wrinkling. They stretch out a little after a couple of hours of wear and the wrinkling will subside. </p> <p>I love these jeans. The fabric is sublime. Have had them for years. Still going strong. 6 months ago on my birthday...last worn. Pics. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-all-kut-chrissy-white-jeans-alteration-question#post-1880697 Fri, 19 Jan 2018 22:12:17 +0000 karen13 1880697@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I re-read all the white jeans threads I could find and liked the sound of a top pick from 2 years ago - the Kut from Kloth Chrissy Flares. After trying on several brands in stores that were too sheer, the fabric in these sounded like just the ticket, so I followed the advice to size up and found a NWT pair on ebay at a big discount. They are very comfortable but the waist needs to be taken in about 1". I'm good with the front view, but the side and back not so much.</p> <p>I know that one must be at peace with some wrinkling, but is this too much and is it fixable? Do the horizontal wrinkles under the back pocket (particularly on right side of #3) come from inexorable gravity and the wrong shape, or do I just need an even bigger size? I'm afraid then the waist alteration would be pretty big.</p> <p>I might be able to let out the hip/upper thigh are a bit as there is room in the side seam and I have to take the waist in and hem anyway. Would that help?</p> <p>And Angie, did you mention these are high-rise for you? The front rise on these is 9". the back 14", and they are decidedly midrise on my 5"2" frame. Maybe my short waist comes more from a longer rise than being a petite.</p> <p>When a professional takes in the waist at the back seam, how do they blend the new topstitching on the center back and the waist? Do they redo the stitching all the was down to near the crotch? Dot they re-do the waist top stitching all the way to hide the start/stop behind the two side belt loops. Or does it not show up noticeably?&nbsp;</p> <p>And do these shrink in length much?</p> <p>Brutally honest feedback needed! </p>
