How awful. I can only imagine how you felt when you tried them on...</p> <p>Can you replace the trouser jeans with the same thing? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-much-for-my-trouser-jeans#post-1199614 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 02:06:56 +0000 Aquamarine 1199614@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I gasped when I read this. I am so afraid of this happening that I learned to hem my own jeans (and I learned to keep the original hem, too). I am such a control freak </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-much-for-my-trouser-jeans#post-1199566 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 01:32:24 +0000 Thistle 1199566@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sooooo sorry! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-much-for-my-trouser-jeans#post-1199563 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 01:30:21 +0000 Anonymous 1199563@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ugh! That's so frustrating.</p> <p>Something like that happened to me a long time ago, so long ago that I still mostly owned pants instead of dresses.&nbsp;(This was when gauchos were momentarily in, so maybe that's what she thought I wanted?) The seamstress was very apologetic and even found the fabric she'd taken off so she could re-sew it back as extra-wide cuffs. Which was really sweet, but it turns out I somehow never wanted to wear the pair with extra-wide cuffs when I had others to choose from. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-much-for-my-trouser-jeans#post-1199487 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 00:39:15 +0000 Emily 1199487@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh noooooooooo! &nbsp;I'd be so annoyed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-much-for-my-trouser-jeans#post-1199485 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 00:33:11 +0000 Angie 1199485@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*very sad face* </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-much-for-my-trouser-jeans#post-1199477 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 00:27:21 +0000 April 1199477@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all for helping me to feel better about this! &nbsp;I think these are too wide to have any possibility to work as shorts on me. &nbsp;</p> <p>They could be hemmed even shorter and worn as what we used to call "gauchos", but I'm not a big fan of that look. &nbsp;</p> <p>I have a terrific tailor/seamstress that I use for most things, but the jeans were such a small fix that I thought it was okay just to walk them into the cleaners rather than waiting for an appointment with the seamstress (who is up to her ears in wedding season prep.)</p> <p>Live and learn. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-much-for-my-trouser-jeans#post-1199454 Wed, 19 Mar 2014 23:52:27 +0000 Marmee 1199454@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ug.
