When you’re 5’4″ or under, shopping for the perfect pair of petite jeans can sometimes be quite nerve racking, discouraging, and – like in my case – where are my scissors 😂
Between gaping waists and inseams that don’t hit quite right, finding that magical pair that fits perfectly is the ultimate sartorial challenge. And we are very aware of the fact that not everyone of you is into the cut-off frayed hem look. So, in that case, no scissors, thank you.
Not to mention the fact that if you want to have your jeans hemmed with the original hem – sadly, that can be very much on the pricey side.
Even though the past few seasons have been all about lower rise jeans with a looser fit, and quite a bit of fabric bunching at the ankle, there is always the occasion when you will need THE perfect fitting pair of jeans for a special occasion.
