Sorry they didn't work. It sounds like they run quite big, and they're still a very cropped length. I would like the treatment better as a full length jean. DIY would probably be the way to go for many of us! I'm imagining a dark wash pair with a black and gold brocade fabric at the hem -- how fab would that be? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/great-jeans-treatment#post-1844980 Thu, 14 Sep 2017 19:07:44 +0000 RobinF 1844980@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm, yeah they don't really look much like the picture do they. Too bad. Still a good DIY idea though.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/great-jeans-treatment#post-1844976 Thu, 14 Sep 2017 19:04:53 +0000 Anonymous 1844976@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thought I'd report back on these jeans. They were a fail for me. I ordered one size down than I've worn in Pilcro in the past and they are still too big. Also, a shade or two lighter than they appeared on-line. And, although they have a close-to-premium denim price point, they don't have the premium denim feel. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/great-jeans-treatment#post-1841556 Fri, 01 Sep 2017 19:01:04 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1841556@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Deb and Janet, my thoughts exactly--what to do when our cropped jeans go out of style. <br />Karen13, this might not solve the tight calf problem, but you could use the same fabric to insert a gusset in the outer seam and then add the band around the bottom. It could be your unique take on this trend. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/great-jeans-treatment#post-1841290 Thu, 31 Aug 2017 18:55:34 +0000 anchie 1841290@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This looks like fun, and easy to do, just need to find some nice fabric. I don't remember the trend for the 90s but I missed most of the 90s fashion anyway. Early 90s there was a war and late 90s I was young mom with different priorities. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/great-jeans-treatment#post-1841280 Thu, 31 Aug 2017 18:33:34 +0000 Gwen 1841280@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The jeans are much dressier with the added fabric. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/great-jeans-treatment#post-1841238 Thu, 31 Aug 2017 15:13:03 +0000 Janet 1841238@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yep, Deb! This is the solution when all those cropped flares start looking "so 2016!" </p> <p>I didn't do this trend when it hit in the 90s. I don't remember it being big here in the mid-Atlantic. And I was pretty immersed in work-wear at the time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/great-jeans-treatment#post-1841234 Thu, 31 Aug 2017 15:09:50 +0000 deb 1841234@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We can update all of our hacked jeans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/great-jeans-treatment#post-1841231 Thu, 31 Aug 2017 15:02:23 +0000 Anonymous 1841231@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't remember the trend, probably because I was living outside the U.S. for almost all of of the '90s. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/great-jeans-treatment#post-1841189 Thu, 31 Aug 2017 12:44:10 +0000 Nadya 1841189@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had a pair just like Ryce described isn't the late 90.

Karie, I hope you'll post pics if you give this a try.<br /> Seriously, I'm glad I jumped on these by ordering on-line (per the internet none of the stores near me stock them in petites). The petites are nearly sold out.<br /> Since these are pretty pricey, they'll need to be perfect for me to keep. Guess I'll see if my fondness for this style is rooted in reality or based on the happy memories I associate with wearing my original pair. With one child finishing grad school and the other getting married in a few weeks, I'm getting full-on nostalgic lately, especially for all things 90's! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/great-jeans-treatment#post-1841172 Thu, 31 Aug 2017 11:32:34 +0000 cindysmith 1841172@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually kind of love this!

It could solve my challenges with calf fit!

I wore my pair to death and they were so much fun. I'm thinking it was probably in the early 90's? They were typically straight leg jeans and cropped an inch or 2 above the ankle bone.<br /> Guess I'll have to add a stop at Anthro to my plans for the day!<br /> Thank you, Janet! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/great-jeans-treatment#post-1840998 Wed, 30 Aug 2017 13:37:41 +0000 AndiB 1840998@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha!

This could be a good DIY for someone with the skills. </p>
