My only problem with Nordstrom's is that I don't have one locally, so would have to pay to ship them back if they didn't work.</p> <p>And that's an idea, Louise. I was trying to avoid altering if possible because I have a lot of other pants I need to alter and it's getting a bit spendy.</p> <p>Shiny, I love those! I'm going to give them a try. And thanks for the tip about folding - I wouldn't have thought of it, and I bet it's a lot more comfy under the boot. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/petite-skinny-jeans#post-99763 Wed, 07 Oct 2009 20:10:20 +0000 shiny 99763@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cindy, check out Urban Outfitters - BDG Cigarette jeans. They come in mid- and high-rise, and a variety of washes, for under $60. They are SUPER skinny. Real jeans, but they fit like leggings. I love mine and just duplicated them. </p> <p>They do come quite long, but</p> <p>1) They shrink (lengthwise) quite a bit. So if you ultimately decide to alter, don't have them hemmed until you have run them through the wash and dryer - a few times!!</p> <p>2) To tuck into boots, I cuff the hem - just once - up to the desired length - different than rolling. Less bulky - only two layers. The denim isn't too thick and I am able to wear my tightest boots over these with no problem. Example:</p> <p><a href="http://s386.photobucket.com/albums/oo309/lookingfabat43/winter%202008/week%20mar%2023/?action=view&#038;current=dec2008snowstorm338.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://s386.photobucket.com/al.....orm338.jpg</a></p> <p>... If I took off my boot, you'd see that the cuff is very wide - about half the entire length of my boot!</p> <p>So even though my inseam is only about 28 inches, I have not had to alter these at all. They work tucked in, or scrunched with flats. I think I have as much 4-6 inches of additional length, but since the denim isn't that thick, it doesn't look odd when scrunched. I think you can see the amount of scrunch best here:</p> <p><a href="http://s386.photobucket.com/albums/oo309/lookingfabat43/fall%202009/?action=view&#038;current=august010.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://s386.photobucket.com/al.....ust010.jpg</a></p> <p>3) These are amazingly comfortable!! They have a lot of stretch, but miraculously do not bag out at all. Not even around your knee. I could sleep in these jeans. </p> <p>The only drawback with these jeans is if you have (proportionately) big feet or ankles - it may be hard to get them on, since the ankle opening is tiny. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/petite-skinny-jeans#post-99754 Wed, 07 Oct 2009 19:33:06 +0000 Louise 99754@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Could you have some non petite ones shortened? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/petite-skinny-jeans#post-99736 Wed, 07 Oct 2009 17:18:42 +0000 Anonymous 99736@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There are some skinny jeans on the sale pages of the Nordstom's website. Some are petite and some are regular. I just got a pair of black David Kahn straight leg jeans there. Maybe the sale price is low enough to make it worth having to order, try them on at home, and return if they are not perfect.<br /> Good luck finding your perfect jeans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/petite-skinny-jeans#post-99734 Wed, 07 Oct 2009 17:02:06 +0000 CK 99734@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am having such a hard time finding skinny jeans that fit well. Can anyone recommend a brand that comes in shorter lengths/petite sizes? I want something that I can tuck into boots without them bunching at the knees. I would rather not spend the money on premium denim right now, but if they fit perfectly I would consider it. </p>
