I chopped off a few pairs of jeans recently, instead of getting them hemmed. DIY released hems aren't gonna happen for me, with my short legs, because I usually have to get everything shortened quite a bit. I dream of finding a pair of shorter culottes (meant to be upper calf) that would fit me like mid-ankle crops if I let down the hem, but so far I haven't found any. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/diy-partial-released-hem-jeans#post-1779516 Fri, 17 Feb 2017 20:15:46 +0000 Anonymous 1779516@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, that worked out really well! It looks as good as the fake release hems </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/diy-partial-released-hem-jeans#post-1779511 Fri, 17 Feb 2017 19:58:24 +0000 viva 1779511@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Clever! I really like this. Did you use a hem-picker thing? I might try this if I don't need special tools (or a lot of patience). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/diy-partial-released-hem-jeans#post-1779507 Fri, 17 Feb 2017 19:43:43 +0000 Anonymous 1779507@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, I like this look.

I have chopped off some pants but not the staggered hems like that.I'm short so more often than not am shortening jeans so love the unfinished fad. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/diy-partial-released-hem-jeans#post-1779464 Fri, 17 Feb 2017 17:30:48 +0000 Angie 1779464@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>NICE.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/diy-partial-released-hem-jeans#post-1779462 Fri, 17 Feb 2017 17:29:36 +0000 Janet 1779462@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm taking advantage of the released hem trend to finally make a pair of jeans work better for me. </p> <p>I've had these AG Tomboy jeans for maybe 3 years and love the fit, but they've always been just a little too short, even with my flattest shoes and boots. I decided to release the hems, starting with just the backs, to get an extra inch of length, which brings them closer to the floor, my preferred length for this type of boot cut. Once I got halfway around, though, I decided to try keeping the front hem intact, because it does break just slightly on my low-heeled shoes. I kind of like the effect. I'll share pics of them on the next time I wear them, but I thought I'd share a closeup of the chop job. :-)</p> <p>Is anyone else DIYing released hems or split hems? I'm thinking of doing a split hem on some infrequently-worn straight leg jeans to make them easier to wear full length with booties. </p>
