I'm guessing there are distressing machines of different sorts in the factories. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/express-culottes-on-a-shortie#post-1635515 Sat, 26 Mar 2016 14:15:51 +0000 Anonymous 1635515@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You know I never thought of myself wearing culottes, but El Cee modeled some recently and I am kinda obsessing about them. &nbsp;They seem absolutely perfect for so many different scenarios (work to casual). &nbsp;I would suggest getting them hemmed and then wearing the heck out of them. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/express-culottes-on-a-shortie#post-1635507 Sat, 26 Mar 2016 14:05:05 +0000 Tanya 1635507@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They fir you very well but definitely need to be shorter.&nbsp; I would try some of the smart hemming suggestions you already got.&nbsp; Hope you make them work, as they are really cute on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/express-culottes-on-a-shortie#post-1635505 Sat, 26 Mar 2016 14:02:00 +0000 kellygirl 1635505@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Fabbers! If I am near the mall again, I may just pick them up :)<br />@Sharan: So that is how they do the hems? I had no idea! I'm definitely considering that solution.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/express-culottes-on-a-shortie#post-1635457 Sat, 26 Mar 2016 08:48:28 +0000 rachylou 1635457@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, Angie and Firecracker are so smart! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/express-culottes-on-a-shortie#post-1635321 Fri, 25 Mar 2016 22:25:33 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1635321@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they're cute on you and need shortening. Are you going to try cutting them, Kelly?&nbsp; There's a cutting line provided! If you wanted to recreate the distressing, you could hem them up after cutting,&nbsp; sandpaper the turned-under edges, then let them down again. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/express-culottes-on-a-shortie#post-1635316 Fri, 25 Mar 2016 22:16:22 +0000 Angie 1635316@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hack off some of the hem length and you're good to go.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/express-culottes-on-a-shortie#post-1635171 Fri, 25 Mar 2016 16:45:11 +0000 rachylou 1635171@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ya, too long for culottes... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/express-culottes-on-a-shortie#post-1635141 Fri, 25 Mar 2016 15:30:03 +0000 El Cee 1635141@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they look fabulous on you. Agree that it is a very flattering silhouette. I just got these last week -- already wore them. They are sooooo comfortable.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/express-culottes-on-a-shortie#post-1635130 Fri, 25 Mar 2016 14:45:35 +0000 Anonymous 1635130@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These actually look pretty good to me and I would wear them with slide sandals. </p> <p>It's a flattering silhouette, I find, so I think it's worth it to find another pair if you want a slightly shorter length. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/express-culottes-on-a-shortie#post-1635009 Fri, 25 Mar 2016 06:01:56 +0000 Gigi 1635009@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's so frustrating! I saw these on the mannequin at Express a while back and didn't even bother to try them on, because I knew I would have to deal with hemming. I don't know that that many places have culottes with shorter inseams. I think Anthro would probably be the only place. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/express-culottes-on-a-shortie#post-1634966 Fri, 25 Mar 2016 04:18:56 +0000 kellygirl 1634966@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for commiserating with me. The fit is great and I love the fabrication. I'm thinking about ordering the regular hemmed version and having those shortened. I think it would be an easier hem job and more flop proof. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/express-culottes-on-a-shortie#post-1634961 Fri, 25 Mar 2016 04:11:32 +0000 Jaime 1634961@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>See if you can have them shortened while preserving the original hem - and I know how you feel! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/express-culottes-on-a-shortie#post-1634959 Fri, 25 Mar 2016 04:10:25 +0000 Beth Ann 1634959@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love them on you -- this sort of jean would be easy to hem.</p> <p>How's the sizing feel to you? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/express-culottes-on-a-shortie#post-1634954 Fri, 25 Mar 2016 04:08:25 +0000 Anonymous 1634954@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The fit looks fine. Could you have them shortened? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/express-culottes-on-a-shortie#post-1634952 Fri, 25 Mar 2016 04:06:48 +0000 kellygirl 1634952@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I saw these on Marianna and couldn't get them out of my head--just wish Express provided inseam lengths which would have saved me a trip. I would have bought these if they were a bit shorter. The fabrication and fit are great. </p>
