I'd second Angie's suggestion to play around with some of your tops before making the final decision.</p> <p>But do take my opinion with a grain of salt because I'm in the process of purging most of my body-con items. I think I've just grown weary of the skinny, jeans-that-look-like-leggings and shrunken, short jackets that have held sway for so long. To my eye, a slightly looser fit is a more interesting shape to work with these days. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-which-size-br-ivory-jeans/page/2#post-1125015 Tue, 31 Dec 2013 00:14:53 +0000 Anonymous 1125015@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aleta and Unfrumped, it is hard when there is no clear point of view. My body is probably too twisted to get an accurate rear view.<br /> Pil, thank you for clarifying. This is a great help. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-which-size-br-ivory-jeans/page/2#post-1124931 Mon, 30 Dec 2013 22:41:11 +0000 unfrumped 1124931@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is tough! I like the rear view of the smaller size but the front view of the larger. I kind of like them as a narrow trouser rather than a skinny jean. After seeing about any shrinkage I would hem them for just a bit of scrunch but not too much as I think too much scrunch overwhelms your small frame.<br />The color is just perfect for you!<br />Now <u>I'm </u>wanting to try but usually can't fit into anything described as slim through hips and I have no idea what size. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-which-size-br-ivory-jeans/page/2#post-1124912 Mon, 30 Dec 2013 22:17:56 +0000 pil 1124912@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I meant to include they were washed cold dried flat. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-which-size-br-ivory-jeans/page/2#post-1124886 Mon, 30 Dec 2013 21:43:21 +0000 Aleta 1124886@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Goodness isn't it interesting that everyone has a different idea on the fit of these jeans? I originally favoured the smaller size, but when you read the comments of those that prefer the larger ones, I can see their point of view, so I'm afraid I am now on the fence, sorry!</p> <p>One thing that I am sure of though is that you look fabulous in ivory, really stunning. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-which-size-br-ivory-jeans/page/2#post-1124862 Mon, 30 Dec 2013 21:26:58 +0000 Anonymous 1124862@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lol, karymk . Pil, thank you for the washing and stretching information. I will wash before shortening and hope they do shrink a bit, in length anyway. Did you hang to dry? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-which-size-br-ivory-jeans/page/2#post-1124856 Mon, 30 Dec 2013 21:17:55 +0000 pil 1124856@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Joy, mine have been worn once and washed three times thanks to my unfortunate kahlua incident. They may have shortened in length just a bit, or maybe they just lie better since they have softened up a bit. I haven't felt any noticeable stretching after wearing for a while. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-which-size-br-ivory-jeans/page/2#post-1124839 Mon, 30 Dec 2013 20:48:11 +0000 karymk 1124839@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aren't you glad you asked us? lol </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-which-size-br-ivory-jeans#post-1124835 Mon, 30 Dec 2013 20:44:44 +0000 Anonymous 1124835@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So much food for thought here! I'm thinking of my 2 pair of white jeans...Kut Diana Skinnies and Kut Catherine Boyfriends. The difference in fit is similar to these, yet I wear both pretty much equally. The Diana skinny pair are a bit more fitted than the smallest size BR cream pair. Since the ivory color is such a good light neutral for me and is hard to find in jeans, I'm seriously thinking of keeping both. A belt may fix any crotch issues. More experimenting is probably needed.<br /> Angie, xo<br /> Suz, thank you for coming back to comment. I've only washed my coated blush jeans once, but have put them in the freezer and used Fabreeze spray. I wonder how others deal with cleaning coated jeans. Washing did seem to remove some of the finish, although evenly, but I'm reluctant to wash them again. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-which-size-br-ivory-jeans#post-1124804 Mon, 30 Dec 2013 19:46:43 +0000 Suz 1124804@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I haven't washed mine yet, Joy. Believe it or not (should I confess it?) I have worn them five times and they aren't yet dirty! But only inside -- I wasn't outdoors and didn't cook in them, which explains things. They give in a really nice way, IMO. I wouldn't call it "bagging out." They just acquire a bit of ease. Again, if mine fit looser to begin with they probably wouldn't do this so much. Mine fit like true skinnies. I almost wish I had a larger size as well because i like the more fluid fit I've seen here on others.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-which-size-br-ivory-jeans#post-1124799 Mon, 30 Dec 2013 19:39:43 +0000 Angie 1124799@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Keep us posted Darling Joy who rocks my style world.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-which-size-br-ivory-jeans#post-1124798 Mon, 30 Dec 2013 19:38:47 +0000 Isabel 1124798@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Without reading which size was which, I definitely like the ones in 1-3.

I like the fits of both the ones I have pictured though. Neither really are skinny on me, and that's with post holiday eating!<br /> Angie, more styling before deciding is an excellent idea. I'm even considering keeping both.<br /> Inge, thank you for chiming in. I can't pass up on elegant, especially with jeans. ;)<br /> Karymk, Emily and Carambola, I appreciate your input. I need to wear them around the house, it seems. Today cooking and dog grooming are on the schedule, so maybe tomorrow.<br /> Suz, your experience with the jeans is valuable! The 99% cotton had me wondering if there would be any give. I wash in cold water and hang to dry. Did you have any shrinkage?<br /> Ceit and La Belle, the crotch look is important to me, especially with children's eye level, and they say anything!<br /> Meli, (my pad keeps wanting to change your name to Melissa!) thank you for your thoughts. The different looks are something important to consider.<br /> Claudia, I appreciate your thoughts. You agree with Angie. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-which-size-br-ivory-jeans#post-1124792 Mon, 30 Dec 2013 19:30:27 +0000 texstyle 1124792@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also prefer the larger size (that's what I opted for in these, thanks so much Angie for bringing them to my attention). I think slightly tighter can look maybe more "in" sometimes - and I was tempted too - but for me "feel" is the #1 priority so I say, "Base your opinion on how they FEEL on you." </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-which-size-br-ivory-jeans#post-1124789 Mon, 30 Dec 2013 19:24:09 +0000 Laura 1124789@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just had to pipe in to say how wonderful you look in an all-cream outfit!

Mine fit more like the first pair and I do find they have "grown" on me. Not to a terrible amount - -just the way I like it. I wonder if they had been looser if they would do that, however.&nbsp;</p> <p>You look fantastic in an all ivory ensemble! Love the sweater on you!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-which-size-br-ivory-jeans#post-1124733 Mon, 30 Dec 2013 18:15:59 +0000 carambola 1124733@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, you look fantastic in all ivory! Both pairs are great, but offer a<br /> different look. The way the smaller size fits you is my ideal - skinny,<br /> but not tight. To my eye it looks "cleaner" and slightly dressier. The<br /> larger size looks slouchy chic and more casual to me. Can you wear them around the house for a few hours to see if/how much they grow? I have a pair of older BR jeans that start with the fit of the first pair and end up growing to look almost like the bigger size. Maybe you'll end up with both fits in one :)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-which-size-br-ivory-jeans#post-1124730 Mon, 30 Dec 2013 18:14:48 +0000 Emily 1124730@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the smaller size best - they look sleek and trim.&nbsp; The ivory colour is lovely on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-which-size-br-ivory-jeans#post-1124728 Mon, 30 Dec 2013 18:13:18 +0000 karymk 1124728@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Smaller Joy! They will give as you wear them. The others are just too saggy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-which-size-br-ivory-jeans#post-1124727 Mon, 30 Dec 2013 18:11:05 +0000 Inge 1124727@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I haven't looked at the other replies, but I vote the larger size, Joyce. Love the elegant, chic fit of those. The sweater is lovely. And boy, you always look so stunning in creams! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-which-size-br-ivory-jeans#post-1124711 Mon, 30 Dec 2013 17:53:33 +0000 Angie 1124711@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>By all means do more top matching with the larger size Joy, before you make your decision.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-which-size-br-ivory-jeans#post-1124704 Mon, 30 Dec 2013 17:45:21 +0000 catgirl 1124704@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These fit me very oddly, but based on how they felt on me I'd go smaller - they are still not tight and I think they will grow. You look great in this color! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-which-size-br-ivory-jeans#post-1124700 Mon, 30 Dec 2013 17:41:23 +0000 Anonymous 1124700@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, they don't feel too big, especially as I've been wearing my much sized up size 12 colored skinny jeans from H&amp;M the last few days.<br /> Maybe I need to try the larger size with the oversized Cap chunky knit sweaters from last year. Both sizes are comfortable in the waist and will stay up without a belt unless they stretch. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-which-size-br-ivory-jeans#post-1124690 Mon, 30 Dec 2013 17:31:31 +0000 Angie 1124690@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am the odd one out. I prefer the larger size. To my eye, that fit is extra chic and elegant, which I know is important to you, Joy. Do they feel too big?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-which-size-br-ivory-jeans#post-1124665 Mon, 30 Dec 2013 16:55:39 +0000 Anonymous 1124665@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oops, hit submit too soon.<br /> It looks like the smaller size is the better choice. Catnip, getting a back shot is not easy is it? It usually takes several attempts for me.<br /> Gigi, your experience with the jeans is just what I needed to hear.<br /> Glory, I've been boyfriending skinny jeans so much lately that I've lost a sense of "baggy". Thank you for your comment!<br /> Alicat and Celia, thank you for addressing the sweater too. I'm thinking of ordering another in a different color on sale. Maybe the very cold temperatures right now are influencing that thought. </p>
