Interesting how pocket placement/size can differ between sizes.</p> <p>. Sometimes it just takes a a little at home time to make a good decision. So glad you found a great looking pair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-for-jeans/page/2#post-1913698 Sat, 28 Apr 2018 14:23:56 +0000 Colette 1913698@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I thought all the jeans looked great on you!

I liked the Frame jeans out of sight better and now you've got those! I think your rear end looks amazing in them though I do wonder what you will do about the tight calf issue and the waist? With my one pair of Not Your Daughter's Jeans I bought some wide elastic which I sewed inside the back waist and that worked. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-for-jeans#post-1913625 Sat, 28 Apr 2018 05:45:54 +0000 Anonymous 1913625@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think both jeans looked ‘hawt Mama’ on you, my fellow Virgoan!<br /> Slight preference for the more distressed pair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-for-jeans#post-1913534 Fri, 27 Apr 2018 23:58:17 +0000 Style Fan 1913534@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Marilyn, thanks for the tip about Rainbow.&nbsp; I have shopped there in person many times but I haven't bought anything from them online.&nbsp; I will look into that option.&nbsp; It is a great store.<br />Smittie, it was a tough call.&nbsp; I liked the Mother jeans a lot but I was concerned about how "statementy" they were.&nbsp; If I could have bought 2 pairs that would have been perfect.&nbsp; I may still get them.<br />Janet, I am happy with the Frame jeans.&nbsp; I know what you mean about having to try on 3 sizes.&nbsp; I never know what my size is.&nbsp; It changes with the jeans.&nbsp; Mother jeans are nice. &nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-for-jeans#post-1913529 Fri, 27 Apr 2018 23:22:51 +0000 Janet 1913529@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the Frame ones on you. I hope you enjoy them!&nbsp;</p> <p>I see so many of you raving about Mother, I'm always tempted to try them. I don't think I've ever seen them in store (at least not in a size near my own), and they're pricey, so I've always balked at ordering them (because, you know, I'd probably have to try three sizes to find out what works!).&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-for-jeans#post-1913528 Fri, 27 Apr 2018 23:22:15 +0000 Anonymous 1913528@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really liked those distressed Mother jeans!! Maybe you can re-buy them at some point The calf and butt fit are ideal, and the distressing is interesting. I really like the wash too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-for-jeans#post-1913525 Fri, 27 Apr 2018 23:10:03 +0000 Marilyn 1913525@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Now that you know what size you wear in Mother you can order online.&nbsp;<br /> Lots of styles and washes to choose from.&nbsp; Since they are made in the US you don't pay duty. I read lots of reviews if I'm ordering from the US.&nbsp; You can also order Mother from <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.rainbowjeans.com/">https://www.rainbowjeans.com/</a> in Toronto.&nbsp; They have great customer service.&nbsp; My size was sold out in the size I needed and the buyer brought in a pair for me.&nbsp; <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.aritzia.com/">https://www.aritzia.com/</a> also sometimes has Mother online. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-for-jeans#post-1913503 Fri, 27 Apr 2018 21:25:29 +0000 Style Fan 1913503@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Janet, jeans are right up there with swimsuits.&nbsp; I love jeans so much but they are torture to shop for.&nbsp; Skinnies are everywhere.&nbsp; Not what I am looking for.<br />Thistle, you are right about the waist alteration.&nbsp; I have always had that issue.&nbsp; The size up in the Frames was huge in the waist.&nbsp; I wanted more room in the calves which didn't happen.&nbsp; No point going up a size.<br />Suz, thanks.&nbsp; The feel of jeans is so personal.</p> <p>Now after all that I went back and exchanged the Mother jeans for the Frame jeans. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-for-jeans#post-1913303 Fri, 27 Apr 2018 12:28:00 +0000 Suz 1913303@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your efforts paid off in something you like and that fits you well! That is a triumph. I agree that all look great on you and you look great in jeans, period, but the details of fit are really about feel, and you know best what works.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-for-jeans#post-1913302 Fri, 27 Apr 2018 12:27:13 +0000 Thistle 1913302@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd nip int he waist and cheer all the way home that you found perfect jeans!</p> <p>Seriously, an alteration at the waist on a pair of jeans is $6-$8 by me. Totally worth it to make the perfect pair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-for-jeans#post-1913295 Fri, 27 Apr 2018 11:23:54 +0000 Janet 1913295@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they all look good on you! I have a pretty awful time with jeans shopping, especially trying to find anything other than high-waisted cropped skinnies right now! So I say yay to finding jeans you feel great in. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-for-jeans#post-1913292 Fri, 27 Apr 2018 11:10:22 +0000 Style Fan 1913292@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Mainelady!&nbsp; Jeans are such a difficult thing to shop for. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-for-jeans#post-1913275 Fri, 27 Apr 2018 09:48:47 +0000 Mainelady 1913275@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your effort and time were worth it. Your new jeans look great! I do not think your bum looked big in any of the jeans.

My goodness, you look great in all of these... I hope you enjoy your new jeans, they look beautiful on you (but I thought the other pairs looked good too). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-for-jeans#post-1913257 Fri, 27 Apr 2018 08:10:42 +0000 Carla 1913257@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cardiff Girl has the right of it - junk in the trunk is desirable these days and sends many a flat fanny to the gym! All cheekiness aside, you have a trim figure and look great in your jeans. Glad you found some jeans that work for you. On to having fun styling them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-for-jeans#post-1913252 Fri, 27 Apr 2018 08:00:38 +0000 Lesley 1913252@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I liked Frame the best because I thought your butt looked the best! I agree with Angie... what are they smoking in Burlington? But the Mothers are nice... I think the AGL kind of flattens your butt, so those are my least favorite. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-for-jeans#post-1913249 Fri, 27 Apr 2018 07:17:09 +0000 Cardiff girl 1913249@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am reliably informed by the DD that amongst teenager girls these days the larger posterior is extremely desirable so whilst I do not think you have a large bottom at all I wouldn’t worry if the jeans show cased your bottom as that s obviously very in at the moment.I think that these jeans fit you great and show off your great figure,well done for finding them. </p>
