Angie and April, here are the measurements:
The waistband going straight across is 13.25"
The rise is 10"
The thigh (measured from the crotch seam across the leg) is 9"
If there are any other measurements you need, ask away. I forgot to measure the leg opening, but they are definitely skinny ankle-hugging jeans. No more than 11 inches.
Angie, I hesitate to confidently say whether or not you would like them so I will just tell you the basics and you can determine:
• The rise is high, so you'll get the girdling effect (not that you need it), and no bottom cleavage...though I guess you will see that as a negative
• The wash is dark and even throughout. No distressing or fading.
• I don't know if you have ever seen the back label for Cheap Monday jeans, but they have a skull on them. I don't know how you feel about wearing skulls, though it can't be seen unless you tuck your shirt in.
• I won't lie about this: they are not soft. Maybe I have just gotten too used to premium denim, but they feel quite rigid to me. I'd classify it as a medium weight, though I'm certainly no expert.
Angie, if you decide they sound like something you would want to try, I will send them to you since you were first to reply. If not, I'll send them to April. And if they don't work out for whatever reason, you can send them to April. Does that work?
April, I don't know if this is really a good representation of the traveling pants idea. I thought they were supposed to always fit the wearer perfectly, and they certainly didn't fit me well at all!
