Hi All!

The J. Crew blue denim clamdiggers are on sale now for $49.99. They are an additional 25% off until Wednesday. It is a final sale, but if you have tried these on and haven't purchased yet, or are looking to pick up a second pair, now would be a good time:

Thanks for the info J Ana Crew! Unfortunately I already have my Levi's pair. I wish I had waited for this sale tough since these are way prettier

Thanks Ana, I ordered one in a heartbeat. This will complete my Summer wardrobe.

Yes, these are super duper pants. The denim is soo nice and soft and stretchy. If anyone is still looking for clam diggers and has a chance to try them on, I'd jump at it. I might even get a 2nd pair, since I love wearing them so much that I can't bear to put them to the laundry and wear them till they get all loose and bulge around the knees... They are fast becoming my total "go to" bottoms this summer.

Antje, I do the exact same thing with my clamdiggers! After about 3 wears they get pretty baggy. When they went on sale, I decided to duplicate them. These are by far my favorite summer bottoms and I have been wearing them with everything.

Ana, did you have the dye problem again? Also how did you fix the dye problem you had on the first pair you bought? I just bought these today and did a quick search for them in teh forum and realized that it has a dye transfer problem, and now i'm a bit concerned...!!

Okay, so I still haven't *completely* solved the dye transfer problem, but ordered a second pair anyway because I love them so much! I haven't received the second pair yet, so I don't know if they also have a problem with transfer. The other ladies on the forum didn't seem to have the same problem, so I'm hoping it's an anomaly. I soaked the clamdiggers in vinegar overnight, which did help A LOT. My next step is to try the RIT Dye Fixative Nicole found:

Hmm its odd some people had the problem while others didn't...I've ordered a pair today as well, i guess i will try the vinegar soak and pray for the best

Would someone be willing to post a picture of them wearing these cropped pants? I do need a pair for summer, but would like to see what they look like on. My nearest JCrew is a little too far to go to on a week day. Thanks!
Also, since I'm an hourglass/slight pear shape, would these work okay?

Here are the clamdiggers on me. I'm an hourglass that tends toward an inverted triangle:

I ordered a pair of these a few days ago and they arrive on Friday. Looking forward to getting them especially after the rave reviews on this site!
