Girls, question about current jean brands

Are they Sevens or Seven for all Mankind? There's a difference.

I'm a big fan of Rock and Republics. I have a small waist and wide hips and I can wear them without having to take them up in the waist, and they're not too baggy in the hips/thigh area.

Are you serious? I have that same issue, and jean shopping makes me crazy!

If I want to fit my hips, I have to buy a size larger than what would fit my waist. Finding a pair that actually fit like they were supposed to would be a dream come true! I like all the Rock & Republic styles I've seen, so maybe I'll give them a try.

I just can't find jeans short enough. When they get hemmed, they often lose their slight flare (I can't seem to describe it) at the bottom. eh they always look hemmed.
Aparently companies consider women who are 5'4 petite, so even petites don't work. I'm 5'1 (with shorter legs than torso) and I'm so sick of trying on jeans that are a foot too long.

I have that problem too. I'm 5'2. I gave up and just roll or cuff up the bottoms or wear boots or higher heels.

I'm a jeans addict. Favs are my Paiges, True Religions and 7s. Just bought at the most recent Planet Lulu sale Joe's, Citizens, Blue Cult and Sacred Blues.

Rock and Republic's skinny jeans rock my world.

Like I said, I am a jeans addict. And have a 35" inseam so one of the few who does not need them hemmed.

OK, so I think I'm going to order a pair of Rock and Republics...I'm dying to see if they really fit like you all say.

Where do you think is the best place to get them? I was looking at either Saks or Nordstrom, since they both seem to have pretty nice return policies (as I'm not sure how the sizing runs, so they might end up getting sent back...). What say you?

I've ordered from Nordstrom before and haven't had a problem. Also, if you register with ebates.com, you get like 2 or 3% back on your Nordstrom.com purchases.

I have the same problem.. i too am 5'1 and short length is just long enough to still need hemming. And the more expensive jeans brands don't even make short length....
