I have taken the jeans to Wonder Woman and she is hemming them precisely one inch longer than I have shown you here so that I can wear with one roll/cuff with the majority of my footwear, completely unrolled and scrunched with my Doc Marcies and with two rolls for flats. I think this will work really well.</p> <p>Vicki - now that I don't wear any higher heels, I'm finding it much easier to choose my hem lengths. I would say that 80% of my footwear now falls in the 1.5 - 2 inch range. When I used to wear higher heels, it was really tough to decide on hem length because it meant the pants were committed to more limited shoe options.</p> <p>Thanks for the advice ladies </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all-ylfers-for-hem-help#post-972136 Sat, 06 Jul 2013 21:22:11 +0000 Vicki 972136@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>First off, love your new jeans, Shannon! &nbsp;Secondly, I'm so happy to see that you have that&nbsp;many shoe and boot choices, because when I choose a hem, I often seem to have limited footwear.</p> <p>Like you, I'm a kitten heel cat and go no higher than two inches these days.</p> <p>I think your pinning is spot on and I like the look in 4 and even 1, too, so you know what you're doing and making your tailor's job easy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all-ylfers-for-hem-help#post-972104 Sat, 06 Jul 2013 20:41:07 +0000 MsMary 972104@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I was going to suggest a little longer.&nbsp; I like Angie's idea! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all-ylfers-for-hem-help#post-972102 Sat, 06 Jul 2013 20:40:02 +0000 Astrid 972102@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your plan sounds good. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all-ylfers-for-hem-help#post-972099 Sat, 06 Jul 2013 20:38:00 +0000 Suz 972099@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am watching with interest. I still haven't had mine hemmed. I am sort of in between you and Angie. I've just been rolling them so far, but I honestly think the rolls would behave better if I took an inch or inch and a half off the overall length. Hmmmm.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all-ylfers-for-hem-help#post-971962 Sat, 06 Jul 2013 16:27:10 +0000 Transcona Shannon 971962@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Got my plan in place -thank you all (especially you Angie). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all-ylfers-for-hem-help#post-971954 Sat, 06 Jul 2013 16:17:04 +0000 lyn* 971954@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The roll sounds exciting! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all-ylfers-for-hem-help#post-971952 Sat, 06 Jul 2013 16:15:18 +0000 rae 971952@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds good! I like the roll buffer.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all-ylfers-for-hem-help#post-971949 Sat, 06 Jul 2013 16:09:35 +0000 Angie 971949@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice buffer. Go for it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all-ylfers-for-hem-help#post-971920 Sat, 06 Jul 2013 14:57:05 +0000 Transcona Shannon 971920@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Alright then - Angie &amp; Ceit, you have convinced me. So I will leave them pinned as they are and ask Wonder Woman to add 1 inch? Does that seem about right? And if I find that extra fabric becomes a problem, I can always have her shorten them later on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all-ylfers-for-hem-help#post-971917 Sat, 06 Jul 2013 14:54:38 +0000 Anonymous 971917@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would keep them long enough to do a roll! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all-ylfers-for-hem-help#post-971916 Sat, 06 Jul 2013 14:52:26 +0000 Transcona Shannon 971916@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooohh...I hadn't even thought of that Angie. I do like the look. Would that be too leg shortening on petite me? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all-ylfers-for-hem-help#post-971915 Sat, 06 Jul 2013 14:50:01 +0000 Angie 971915@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They look longer in #1 because your booties are lifting the hems. It all looks great, Shannon!</p> <p>Before you chop, are you sure you don't want a little roll? See exhibit A and B. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all-ylfers-for-hem-help#post-971913 Sat, 06 Jul 2013 14:42:48 +0000 Irene 971913@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><i></i>I think it looks good! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all-ylfers-for-hem-help#post-971909 Sat, 06 Jul 2013 14:40:16 +0000 Transcona Shannon 971909@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm going to be taking my new TR Cameron slim BF jeans to Wonder Woman today for hemming. I have started pinning hems myself - not that I don't trust her, I most certainly do - but it saves time when I go and drop off items and I always seem to be piggy-backing a bunch of errands so it's just more convenient.</p> <p>I'm showing the jeans with my red booties first - unfortunately because there is about 4.5 inches of excess fabric folded under, they are not quite sitting right on the top of the boot which is pushing up the fabric a bit and bunching at the knee. So I'm not sure this is the best representation.</p> <p>I then switched the boots to my patent pumps so that the legs sit properly. I think this probably shows the length more accurately.</p> <p>I've pinned the legs so that they will work with my average fall/winter heel height, which is 1.5 - 2 inches. This will accommodate my two pairs of kitten heels, red booties, python booties, blue suede booties, cream oxfords and my new Fluevog oxfords. No more high heels for me :(</p> <p>Does this look about right? shorter? longer? </p>
