The crotch is meant to be dropped on a BF jean, so when you pull it up to normal, the extra fabric pooches like that.</p> <p>BUT, you said you are looking for a fit like&nbsp;a regular jean, yes? NOT the boyfriend style? If that's the case, I'd go with the 6. I came to the conclusion that there is always whiskering like that on white jeans. Take a look at some Pinterest pics, there is always a little something at the crotch. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kut-koolaid-is-in-the-kup#post-941456 Sat, 25 May 2013 14:56:48 +0000 Angie 941456@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definately size 8, but you need to loosen the belt, wear the waist lower on your hip, so that the crotch bunching disappears. The size 6 fit is off to my eye. </p> <p>Roll the hems! Add a top with a structured neck and shoulder line. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kut-koolaid-is-in-the-kup#post-941411 Sat, 25 May 2013 13:45:40 +0000 bj1111 941411@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>6...the 8 has a weird bunching in the crotch. Try without a belt and lower on the hip. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kut-koolaid-is-in-the-kup#post-941369 Sat, 25 May 2013 11:43:15 +0000 unfrumped 941369@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for the suggestions! I'm still not sure about these, but I just tried them on briefly.&nbsp;I'll start with &nbsp;a larger belt so as to&nbsp;try &nbsp;them lower on the hip. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kut-koolaid-is-in-the-kup#post-941240 Sat, 25 May 2013 02:29:12 +0000 Anonymous 941240@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just got my size 6 and 8 Catherine slim bf's, so will be watching this thread.&nbsp; I've not had time to try them on yet.&nbsp; My older Kuts that I wear all the time are size 2, but they are not baggy at all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kut-koolaid-is-in-the-kup#post-941235 Sat, 25 May 2013 02:11:51 +0000 Adelfa 941235@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>FWIW, I did not size up on my kuts. It will be a long time before I can bear to wear pants that care baggy in back. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kut-koolaid-is-in-the-kup#post-941191 Sat, 25 May 2013 00:56:01 +0000 Suz 941191@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am wondering about the rise length for you, too. But please do as Sveta says and see how they look then, okay?&nbsp;</p> <p>So far, I prefer the 6s but it's not an absolute pronouncement yet.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kut-koolaid-is-in-the-kup#post-941187 Sat, 25 May 2013 00:43:58 +0000 Anonymous 941187@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am wondering if the rise is a little tall on you, causing that whiskering?</p> <p>I think I prefer the 6 based on your description of fit and what you are looking for. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kut-koolaid-is-in-the-kup#post-941180 Sat, 25 May 2013 00:37:01 +0000 Sveta 941180@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Try to get them lower on the hips, they may bunch because they are too high for the style. It will also eliminate extra fabric in the waist. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kut-koolaid-is-in-the-kup#post-941168 Sat, 25 May 2013 00:24:34 +0000 pil 941168@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Keep in mind I could be full of hooey, but I prefer the 6. I see the extra fabric in the 8 too. I don't remember if these are supposed to stretch - have I read that are they 100% cotton so they don't?</p> <p>I don't see them as stumpifying - I am about a million sizes bigger than you and still wear white. Of course they could look bad on me and I just don't admit it : ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kut-koolaid-is-in-the-kup#post-941162 Sat, 25 May 2013 00:12:25 +0000 Missey 941162@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The 6 looks best on you to my eye, the 8 is far too baggy in the crotch. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kut-koolaid-is-in-the-kup#post-941157 Sat, 25 May 2013 00:00:59 +0000 unfrumped 941157@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So here are the Kut Catherine jeans in sizes 6 and 8. </p> <p>&nbsp;1-2.... size 6</p> <p>3-6....size 8 </p> <p>I tried them because in the photos they looked like they might work more like a classic fit than a trendy fit (on me) due to my shape. That’s so if I got them, I might be able to think of them as my “white pants” for a couple of years and not just this year. It’s already summer, so I have missed out on using them as cool spring weather jeans,&nbsp; &nbsp;but could wear this summer and then, aha! be prepared for next spring-summer, if they’re not considered so over by then. </p> <p>I’m struggling with the size issue. The 6 fits more like a jean, but are&nbsp; &nbsp;the crotch creases too much or too obvious in white? The 8 has crotch “junk,” maybe. The 8 actually feels more comfortable just to put on, but then I’ve struggled with the typical jean fit, because to me it feels more binding, while at the same time I appreciate the tummy-binding and fanny-shaping aspects. &nbsp;With the 8, &nbsp;there’s a lot more fabric bunching at the waist and I’d have to take up the back waist at least, and the 8’s are more saggy in the fanny. (Both are big in the back waist but the 8 is worse). The 6’s aren’t uncomfortable, just aware of the more snug fit.</p> <p>I do like the leg style for me—I think it &nbsp;&nbsp;does look kind of straight and classic with some ease. I returned the linen pants as too creasy. The Kuts, unfortunately, cannot go with me to work.</p> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;I would really appreciate input on which ones look best if you sort of combine “figure-flattering” and “normal” as your criteria. Or are white bottoms too shtumpifying on me? I do not think I will be a true boyfriend-style roller unless just to take up the extra length when wearing flats.</p>
