I have passed on many pairs of pants that fit otherwise. I always assumed it was my big thighs that caused pulling? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-is-4990-at-myshapecom-this-week#post-40648 Fri, 26 Dec 2008 19:07:14 +0000 Kellee 40648@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Question...<br /> What does CHO stand for?</p> <p>Chelle ,I have the same problem as you ,the 9" jeans hit me at least 2 inches below my belly button. My Christopher Blue jeans are about 3.5" below but the stretch fabric is so comfortable that they do not seem obscene? I am 52 and fairly conservative. Besides I just do not have the va-voom look ,even if I wanted to go that route (of course I am talking an earlier age thing here)<br /> I look forward to hearing about you new CB jeans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-is-4990-at-myshapecom-this-week#post-40646 Fri, 26 Dec 2008 18:49:02 +0000 Kellee 40646@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>P.S. Chelle,</p> <p>I know what you mean about the sizes of the Christopher Blue jeans. I have not worn the size I have on right now since grade school. Definitely a PR thing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-is-4990-at-myshapecom-this-week#post-40643 Fri, 26 Dec 2008 18:40:12 +0000 Kellee 40643@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have curves and I do have a pair of Christopher Blue jeans that actually passed the bending over test for me . If I am measuring correctly they are a 9" rise . They are their dark wash stretch jean -so they are more comfortable for me. Very little "art" on the back pockets which I prefer. I would actually like none at all if anyone knows of such a pair for curvy women?</p> <p>My main problem is that I often get this bunching of material at my crotch area no matter if I go up a size ( then waist is too large)It kind of looks like I am smiling down there. Sigh.<br /> I can't figure it out? Does anyone else have this problem?</p> <p>I did finally get a pair of the Mia skinny jeans(Express) and they have a 9" rise if that is helpful to anyone. They run very long. I have fairly long legs but may resort to having them shortened.<br /> Santa gave them to me so I am still test driving them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-is-4990-at-myshapecom-this-week#post-40258 Tue, 23 Dec 2008 01:24:37 +0000 tarzy 40258@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Chelle - that is so frustrating! You are not alone. I am still searching for a killer pair of jeans. I do like the SOHO's best of all I have tried so far, but one of my pairs has stretched a bit more than the other. Weird! </p> <p>I am making a new shopping list of items lacking in my wardrobe, and great jeans are on the top of the list. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-is-4990-at-myshapecom-this-week#post-40256 Tue, 23 Dec 2008 01:05:48 +0000 Angie 40256@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That’s very interesting, Chelle. You are long in the rise. I’ve just measured my COH’s and they are 8.5 on a size 25. I’m 5ft 6 and these are definitely high in rise on me. The rise will increase as the size increases, but I seem to remember that you wear a small size too. </p> <p>Have you tried Habituals and J Brand jeans? Rich and Skinny make a higher rise too. So do Diesel and Hudson. My Diesels measure 9cm on the front rise and that’s about an inch below my navel. I hope that helps. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-is-4990-at-myshapecom-this-week#post-40214 Mon, 22 Dec 2008 20:46:41 +0000 cinncali 40214@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wish DKNY would start using premium denim fabric so the Sohos don't stretch out so much </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-is-4990-at-myshapecom-this-week#post-40211 Mon, 22 Dec 2008 20:42:41 +0000 chelle 40211@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think there are a lot of us who feel the same way, Cinncali...sigh! Folks here have made great suggestions and I'm slowly working my way through them. I'm interest to see if Angie has any other suggestions. </p> <p>I also realize that part of this is that I am used to wearing pants too big and baggy so it is an adjustment.</p> <p>I really loved the Ambers except for the rise. I haven't been able to find the other COH higher rise flares in a store...Hutton I think? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-is-4990-at-myshapecom-this-week#post-40209 Mon, 22 Dec 2008 20:36:28 +0000 cinncali 40209@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Chelle, I tried on the COH Amber cut and they didn’t work for me either. A 10” rise is usually good for me too. According to the Nordstrom site, the rise on the COH Ambers is only 8 ¼. I’m long waisted, have long legs, and always liked my body shape, but finding trendy, comfortable jeans is very frustrating.</p> <p>BTW, I was at Macy’s last week and couldn’t resist trying on the Sohos in a smaller size. They fit perfectly!!! I almost bought them but then remembered the stretched-out pair hanging in my closet, collecting dust. The search continues. Sigh. </p> <p>Let us know how you like the Christopher Blue jeans. I have not heard of them before. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-is-4990-at-myshapecom-this-week#post-40199 Mon, 22 Dec 2008 18:29:26 +0000 chelle 40199@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, they were the Ambers. I guess I'm so long waisted that most higer rise jeans hit me a bit too low. A 10" rise hits me an inch below my navel. Ambers hit right under the fat part of my stomach and make it pooch out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-is-4990-at-myshapecom-this-week#post-40198 Mon, 22 Dec 2008 18:21:43 +0000 Angie 40198@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These have a high rise, Chelle. Are you sure you tried on the correct style? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-is-4990-at-myshapecom-this-week#post-40196 Mon, 22 Dec 2008 18:17:49 +0000 chelle 40196@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh well, at least it was free shipping!<br /> Angie, I have tried the COH Amber and loved the denim and fit except for the waist. I had tummy spillover from the low rise. I was ready to try them based on Shiny's advice that they stretch and conform to your body, but thought I'd keep looking around. I may have to go try them on again. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-is-4990-at-myshapecom-this-week#post-40181 Mon, 22 Dec 2008 16:43:25 +0000 Angie 40181@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know the brand. It’s not what I’d put you in! Try the COH #Amber Cut when you’re in stores. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-is-4990-at-myshapecom-this-week#post-40132 Sun, 21 Dec 2008 03:10:50 +0000 chelle 40132@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hadn't checked in with this site in a long time. Found out that I had entered my measurements incorrectly and instead of being an A shape, they classified me as an M. But I already knew that thanks to your expert judgement!</p> <p>Anyway, I ordered a pair of Christopher Blue jeans from them since I cannot find that brand in stores. Yes, I am still on my search for great jeans. Has anyone tried this brand before? I think I ordered the "Hannah" with a 9" rise. The size they put me in was crazy small, but I went with it. </p> <p>I've worn the DKNY sohos a bit to test out the stretch factor. I haven't noticed that they are stretching out yet, but they are hurting me in very, er, delicate places. What is that all about? </p>
