    Awesome video. Really appreciate that you dont try to sound overly cheerful. It's a breath of fresh air compared to a lot of vloggers out there who seem obnoxiously excited. Love the ribcage Jean as well. Find that they do stretch/mold to your body a tad, I recommend taking the smallest size you can fit into.

    I've just chanced upon your video and am intrigued. I'm a recent convert to the love of denim and I've been trying to research what denim would be great for me to get into. Really love the look of straight leg denim as well so this video was super helpful. May have to somehow pick up a pair of ribcages...

    Girl, I really love your style, it makes sense that you are in the fashion world, because your are stylish even without those pretencious looks we all see in pinterest or *fashionista* girls on instagram. In my opinion, high rise 100% cotton jeans/mom jeans are my absolutely go to when it comes to a perfect fit jean. All my jeans are thrifted levis or tommy’s mom jeans and I really love them, great quality 💓

    I stumbled upon this video a couple of weeks ago, and I love how informative it is. We have similar-ish body styles/are the same height, so I ordered two pairs of the ribcage jeans, and I absolutely love them! I’ve never had a pair of jeans fit me so well. After watching some of your other videos and following you on IG, I find your content really refreshing (for example, I had no idea about Everlane’s union busting, and your outline of different brands’ responses in a time of BLM was extremely helpful). I’ve never commented on a RUclips video before (I usually just have makeup tutorials playing in the background while I wash dishes), but I wanted to let you know that you’re doing awesome work!

    Hey girl! You inspired me to pick up a few pairs of my own and my god I'm in LOVE!!! I went out on a whim and got the color "lose your marbles light wash" and the second i put them on, they became my favorite pair of jeans in the world. They don't look that cute on the website, but if you have some extra $ to spend on another pair, I HIGHLY recommend that wash!!

  • @daisiesandpandas1218
    @daisiesandpandas1218 2 года назад

    The rib cages look so nice on you, I tried them when the wide leg version first came out and they looked like I was trying to pull my trousers to my chest, like I was all legs and and a head, 🤣 short torso people need to avoid if they don't want regrets.
    Still looking for normal high rise (10.5-11) in straight leg and a zip fly, I just bought my last pair of skinnies as I like them for winter and I didn't have the basic black, but any jeans that adds bulk to my bottom half is very flattering so straights are awesome! I have one already and I've been looking for more for years

    @joakescarnival8303 4 года назад

    It's so hard to get a good pair that fits properly. I had 2 pairs that kinda fit, and I odnt know what it is but when one garment goes they all go. The thighs are ripping out finally, holes in my shirts, wear and tear finally taking its toll. Except for the stuff that is a literal hand me down from when my mom was my age. Those things are titanium. But now that they've gone I've ripped them apart to get a basis for the pattern, nd now I'm going to redesign them to be this cut! I love natural waist, straight cut jeans and I've never been able to get a pair! Especially being plus sized. I get what I get. So I'm super excited to make my own pair now. It's nice to hear your views on them, my immediate friends I've talked to dont get the appeal. They're all about the hip huggers, skinny, no way you're climbing a tree in those, and look at me like I'm crazy XD oh well. Loving the style analysis! Very cute outfits ^_^

    @tallgirl270 4 года назад +13

    When I was in high school in the late 80’s I couldn’t find jean long enough for me and I was on the thicker side so I would buy the Levi’s for me since they came in longer inseams and I would spend hours taking out the seams and reseeding by hand to make them skin tight. They were so tight that I would have to cut the front pockets out so the print wouldn’t show through and I could barely feet through the openings 🤣🤣 Those were the days but sadly Levi’s won’t make a 35/36 inseam in plus size 🤷🏽‍♀️

    Vintage Levi’s are my favorite, 550s and 512s to be specific. Once I knew my size from a thrift store find, I started buying them online (EBay/Poshmark) and the 550s are super easy/affordable to find. The 512s I only recently found but they’re more fitted and I think the most flattering pants I’ve ever owned. My skinny jeans are all from American Eagle - can’t beat the sky high rises and rewards program. Definitely interested in trying the ribcage jeans soon

    Are you also true to size 27 in say topshop and zara jeans? im curvy with thicker thighs and booty and normally fit a 8 in zara and 28 in topshop, but some of the reviews are saying to size up, not sure how you felt after owning them for awhile now? thanks!

    I really wanted a pair of ribcage, but my waist is sooo much smaller that my butt and thighs that there was a huuuuge gap at the back for me. So I settles the 501 cropped, and even tho they have a small gap they are really comfortable. I needed some tips on how to style them and luckily I found your video. Thank you so much. Loved the way you made the video. Also do you follow the Curly Girl Method? Your tight curls look so lovely ♥️

  • @jessbasi7758
    @jessbasi7758 3 года назад

    I purchased some ribcage jeans thanks to your lovely vids!! They are awesome! However, one pair I noticed that the side seam is sewn with wider stitching. Such that when I'm wearing them, the sides almost look like they are pulling apart a tad (you can see the stitching a bit when I wear them). One ribcage jean pair has closer stitching and I didn't notice this.
    I can't help but wonder if the wider stitching and the pulling apart effect is normal? I also bought 501 shorts and they do the same. The ribcage has the 1% elastane and the 501 shorts have none but regardless both have wider stitching and it seems to be a looser stitch. I checked my Wedgie fit jeans and they have closer stitching and therefore you can't see the seam pulling apart. Please help?
    Thanks in advance!

    I love your style, and now want every pair in this video. I've been on a Madewell kick lately, I love the Cali demi boot jeans, but interested in ribcage jeans. I'm only 5'4" and not sure how that high of a rise will look on my body type. Maybe the 501s would be a better fit.

      you'd be surprised! I'm 5'2" but super hourglassy and my favorite rise is 11.5" - if you have a hi rise in your closet measure it from the crotch and see what it is, that'll tell you :)
