Ok, I went ahead and ordered a pair. As you say Kelly, nothing ventured, nothing gained! And I had some GC balance on amazon left, so they were around $19.
Kelly -- the petite one is definitely on the short side and the regular one is longer, so I'm keeping both sizes. I'll try to get some photos up! How about you?
LeahJane -- good point about dyeing! Glad you ordered a pair -- can't wait to see them on.
