I finally bit and ordered them. For $27 I can try them! I have a hunch they will be too long and will need to hack them if I like the fit everywhere else. Marilyn, thank you for your instructions! I will be referencing them and setting aside time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-cut-my-new-br-crops/page/2#post-1646530 Tue, 19 Apr 2016 11:35:31 +0000 Anonymous 1646530@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your hack is perfect, Bonnie! I love these on you, and agree with others; your tees and topper are fab. What a great look!</p> <p>Like Marilyn, I did my fray work this weekend, sitting outside on a glorious day. After I was done and came back indoors, I saw our wrens pick up the threads to use in their nests. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-cut-my-new-br-crops/page/2#post-1646516 Tue, 19 Apr 2016 10:55:53 +0000 Staysfit 1646516@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the second pic for length, really love the outfit.

I really liked the frayed look and am glad there is a way to replicate it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-cut-my-new-br-crops/page/2#post-1646237 Mon, 18 Apr 2016 19:51:01 +0000 Marilyn 1646237@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I did mine today, Bonnie.&nbsp; They look great!&nbsp; </p> <p>I won't lie.....the fraying was mind numbing and took about 40 minutes per leg.&nbsp; Totally worth it though and looks as good as the original. &nbsp; I made slits with the seam ripper, from my seam to the edge, about every half inch as I went along. Then used the seam ripper to cut and pull out the white threads in each section.&nbsp; Gave them a brisk shake outside (messy), snipped away the remaining white threads, then into the wash.&nbsp; The fray faded a bit with the first wash and will only get better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-cut-my-new-br-crops/page/2#post-1646103 Mon, 18 Apr 2016 14:53:54 +0000 Bonnie 1646103@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks to everyone for the advice - I'm very insecure about the new hem lengths and this helps. I've made so many mistakes in the past and have had to make shorts out of them and I have enough shorts. Good idea Marilyn, I'll do the same. I like the frayed edge look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-cut-my-new-br-crops/page/2#post-1646080 Mon, 18 Apr 2016 14:11:55 +0000 Marilyn 1646080@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the after!&nbsp; </p> <p>I plan to run a row of matching stitching a half inch above the cut (to contain the fray through repeated washing) and use a seam ripper/tweezers to pull out the horizontal threads before fluffing in the wash. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-cut-my-new-br-crops#post-1646076 Mon, 18 Apr 2016 14:00:42 +0000 Angie 1646076@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You did GREAT.

I did like the way the original fringe was done and I noticed there was a seam above it to protect it. I guess that will be my next project. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-cut-my-new-br-crops#post-1645880 Sun, 17 Apr 2016 22:25:33 +0000 Colette 1645880@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they look good at this length but keep in mind I'm still trying to figure out the length of my crops so I'm no expert. I might be hacking off mine soon and was thinking that I would try to pull some threads to get some of the fringe back. Did you have to do that? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-cut-my-new-br-crops#post-1645768 Sun, 17 Apr 2016 19:03:33 +0000 Bonnie 1645768@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie: I hacked one inch off and washed and dried my new crops?

"Shortening" instead of "hemming up," then. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-cut-my-new-br-crops#post-1645534 Sun, 17 Apr 2016 01:37:14 +0000 Bonnie 1645534@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>BC: Mine have the raw edge, so I'm planning to leave them that way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-cut-my-new-br-crops#post-1645522 Sat, 16 Apr 2016 23:54:45 +0000 Anonymous 1645522@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's amazing how much impact just an inch off can make. I'd pin them and check again before hemming them up, though - just to be on the safe side. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-cut-my-new-br-crops#post-1645521 Sat, 16 Apr 2016 23:54:18 +0000 Bonnie 1645521@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I cut my crops about an inch and am going to wash them and see what happens?
