Jeans that Run Small: J Brand 10" Skinny

by AlterationsNeeded on March 5, 2009

jbrandjeans.com I‘ve heard the J Brand 10″ skinny jean ran really small, so I had to search it out and test it for myself. Skinny jeans are supposed to fit nice and snug all the way down the thigh and leg, but on someone really petite, finding this snug fit is really hard to come by. My usual problem is the jeans are still too baggy in the thigh and leg…go figure…too skinny for skinny jeans…who knew? All my attempt…

Frankie B. Skinny Jeans

by AlterationsNeeded on February 8, 2012

… Puerto Rican heritage, no doubt. J.Lo, anyone?). So I need pants that run small, have a microscopic rise, don’t swallow my toothpicky leg line, and yet somehow contain a boo-tay. I’ve heard a lot about Frankie B. jeans and how small they run over the years. My first encounter with the brand was my senior year of college, when I had an interesting roommate who professed her love for the brand, as she scoured eBay endlessly for discoun…

Nautical Sequins & Crew Cuts Denim

by AlterationsNeeded on April 29, 2012

…re nautical than the inspiration, with the double breasted blazer and deeper contrast between the blue and white. Adding a rope-look chain necklace just solidified it. When I wore this earlier in the day, I had on grey skinny jeans, but then a little box from J.Crew arrived. Inside this box were items that had piqued my interest ever since Jean posted about her success with Crew Cuts pants and the ingenious adjustable waistband. I saw online that…

Jeans that Run Small: Ksubi

by AlterationsNeeded on May 27, 2009

I remember reading an article somewhere in which the Olsen twins revealed their love for Ksubi jeans. I believe the line was something like, “they fit perfect, right off the rack”, and since the Olsens are also super tiny, I made a mental note right then and there to check into these mysterious jeans, as at the time, it was the first I had ever heard of them. Ashley Olsen in Ksubi, denimology.co.uk Since then, I’ve been s…

Jeans that Run Small: Paige Premium Denim

by AlterationsNeeded on September 30, 2008

Ahh…the search for the perfect pair of jeans. Living in Southern California, jeans are a necessity. We seriously wear them EVERYWHERE here. So it is important to have jeans that not just fit, but also look expensive and dressy. In a designer denim-less crisis, I desperately tried all the heavy hitters, like Seven for All Mankind, Joes, and Citizens of Humanity. Being as petite as I am, I couldn’t find anything that fit slim enough in…

Brand that Sometimes Runs Small: Banana Republic Petites

by AlterationsNeeded on September 14, 2008

… little legs get lost in all that fabric! Oh well, maybe fitted trousers will come back in soon. If need be, a tailor can slim the legs on your trousers. Petite plaid houndstooth wide-leg pant (way too wide for tiny legs!) Jeans: Forget it! BR jeans run big all over. The waist, thigh, and leg are always huge on me. I’ll pay for premium denim that fits WAY better any day! Dresses and Skirts: BR dresses and skirts in PXS and P00 run about 1 size…
