Very helpful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-love-story-and-mother-runaway-jeans-sizing#post-1218349 Wed, 09 Apr 2014 15:06:44 +0000 Angie 1218349@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I didn't like the way the baby flare of the Mother's draped over my low heels, Janet (odd break line)&nbsp;- but I loved the colour of the light blue wash. I MUCH preferred the dramatic flare of the Love Storys over low heels.&nbsp;</p> <p>Both styles run TTS. I tried a 25 and 26 in both. The 25 fit well - which is what I usually wear - although 26s are generally fitting really well because premium denim runs small right now. That said - I went with the 26 in the Love Storys because I am allergic to things fitting too tightly. They are roomier than I think most people on the forum would wear them (judging by how many people bought the slimmer size in the AG Nikkis when I sized up). If I asked the forum to vote on size 25 or 26 - my hunch would be that the 25 would get the thumbs up.&nbsp;</p> <p>So long story short - they fit TTS. Go with a 30.&nbsp;</p> <p>Excited. xo</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-love-story-and-mother-runaway-jeans-sizing#post-1218327 Wed, 09 Apr 2014 14:26:07 +0000 Janet 1218327@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I enjoyed wearing my bootcuts so much yesterday, I'm thinking of adding another pair in a mid or light wash. Just wondering if you have any advice re: sizing on the Love Story jeans or the Mother Runaway flares:</p> <p><a href="http://www.shopbop.com/722-lovestory-jean-j-brand/vp/v=1/1504197121.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.shopbop.com/722-lov.....197121.htm</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.shopbop.com/runaway-skinny-flare-jean-mother/vp/v=1/1584817726.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.shopbop.com/runaway.....817726.htm</a></p> <p>I haven't tried any JBrands in a while. My old JBrand skinnies fit well in a 30 but I had to have the waist taken in. I've never tried Mother, but I usually wear a 30 in Paige, Hudson, etc. I looked in Nordies the other day, but none of these are in the store here. </p> <p>If you can advise me on sizing, I'd appreciate it! I love the light wash on the Mothers. The wash on the Love Story might be too close to the Gap bootcuts I just bought. </p> <p>Thanks in advance! </p>
