I have a feeling they will work! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-pursuit-of-white-jeans#post-5583 Mon, 05 May 2008 18:41:53 +0000 shiny 5583@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I have the 25 Ambers being shipped to me. I think they will work; if they don't, I will order and try the others. </p> <p>Hard to remember now, but I think the Joe's were more of a wider leg. The amber is bootcut but skinnier. I could probably make use of both (!) but I do already have a pair of nice white dress slacks that have a bit of a wider leg. I think they may be hemmed a tad too short though. </p> <p>When I get my 25's I'll do a try-on and photo session and everyone can vote. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-pursuit-of-white-jeans#post-5542 Mon, 05 May 2008 15:27:34 +0000 Angie 5542@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Patience makes a good point Shiny, and remember that you can also cut the pockets out (carefully).</p> <p>I like white jeans to fit a little less snugly. This makes them look thicker and more classy. And altering the waistband is also a good solution. Can you get hold of a 25 in the amber Citizens? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-pursuit-of-white-jeans#post-5477 Mon, 05 May 2008 00:12:58 +0000 Patience 5477@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oops. I always forget about the rise issue because I don't really trust it without trying it on. These were definitely higher than 6.5 but probably not 8.5. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-pursuit-of-white-jeans#post-5171 Fri, 02 May 2008 20:48:26 +0000 shiny 5171@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>6.25 front rise is WAY to low on me! I am most comfortable with a 9 inch rise, but I can get away with an 8.5. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-pursuit-of-white-jeans#post-5170 Fri, 02 May 2008 20:46:41 +0000 Patience 5170@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shiny, in my pursuit of white jeans and pants, I tried on a ton and I find them much harder to fit than dark wash. I'm wondering if maybe our eyes are just not adjusted to looking at them on? I feel like white shows flaws more; it definitely seems to show wrinkles more. Having said that, I think you've just got to train your eye and get around it. I ended up with the jcrew matchsticks and I found the jbrand was a pretty similar look on me.</p> <p>What about these:</p> <p><a href="http://www1.bloomingdales.com/catalog/product/index.ognc?ID=105146&#038;CategoryID=8824&#038;PageID=8824*1*24*-1*-1*22" rel="nofollow">http://www1.bloomingdales.com/.....4*-1*-1*22</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-pursuit-of-white-jeans#post-5165 Fri, 02 May 2008 20:37:10 +0000 shiny 5165@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just hit two stores in pursuit of perfect white jeans. I liked these the best: </p> <p><a href="http://www.pinkmascara.com/pinkmascara/product.asp?prod_name=Joe&#039;s+Jeans+Muse+in+White&#038;pf_id=AAOIADBCOOPGKCFH&#038;dept_id=3312&#038;s_id=0&#038;#38" rel="nofollow">http://www.pinkmascara.com/pin.....0&#038;#38</a>;</p> <p>But they didn't have my size. Well, they had a 26 (which is usually my size) but the 26 was too big and did nothing for my butt. These have a 9-inch rise so they were my ideal and uber comfy around the waist. </p> <p>I also liked these, J Brand 818's... it says here they have an 8-inch rise but it felt higher!!... however I tried the 25 and the 27 and neither was quite right. They didn't have a 26:<br /> <a href="http://www.nationaljeancompany.com/product_detail.asp?page=1&#038;NumRec=34&#038;ItemNum=5&#038;s_pid=2332&#038;colorid=16&#038;vn=J+Brand&#038;pn=818+Mid+Rise+Boot+Cut+as+seen+in+In+Style&#038;s_cid=0&#038;s_vid=32&#038;s_size=&#038;s_price=&#038;s_lev=2&#038;viewall=1&#038;s_sale=&#038;s_sb=2" rel="nofollow">http://www.nationaljeancompany.....038;s_sb=2</a></p> <p>Finally I hit bloomies, which was out of my size in nearly everything. Sigh!! However, they did have these:<br /> <a href="http://www.shopsimplychic.com/cgi-bin/commerce.cgi?preadd=action&#038;key=ST-9960" rel="nofollow">http://www.shopsimplychic.com/.....ey=ST-9960</a></p> <p>... which I already have in dark wash. The rise is 8.5, it's "okay" as long as I'm careful what type of top I wear with it. Here's the thing. All they had was a size 24, and it fit me. Makes my butt look teeny tiny!!! And my legs look really thin. But, it's on the tight side, tighter than I'm used to. I can still bend and sit though. </p> <p>The clerk was insisting they will give and that they are just right. I dunno. I bought them but plan on ordering a 25 to compare, and will return the 24's if the 25's fit better. Because I'm dubious... my dark washes really don't stretch all that much. White jeans could be different though. </p> <p>I guess I can wear them around the house for a few hours and see if they stretch enough!! The clerk at Bloomie's said I can even wash and dry them and STILL return if I want... that amazed me, that they'll let you do that. </p>
