It's All In The Jeans

A great pair of jeans can be hard to find. Who am I kidding? It can be IMPOSSIBLE to find - especially in plus size! Personally, I have a hard time with jeans in general. They are too long, the rise is too low or the leg is never narrow enough. And that’s when I try them on. When I decide to order jeans online, going only on the brand’s description of fit alone, I know I’m taking a gamble.
About a month ago I was up late and in need of some retail therapy. I just wanted something
new
. I landed on Torrid’s site and liked that they had a BOGO event going on (and the fact that I had a paid off Torrid Credit Card at my disposal didn’t hurt either). I had a few items in my cart and then on a whim decided that I would give their jeans a try. One of my all time favourite pairs of jeans had come from Torrid, back in the day, and though I haven’t seen them since, I knew it was possible to find. I looked over all the descriptions of fit and styles. In the end I went with the
style. It had the highest rise, narrowest leg opening and most stretch.
A couple weeks ago my package was delivered. I immediately tried on the jeans. Like most jeans the legs were not as narrow of a skinny as I would like, but since I know my way around a sewing machine that doesn’t phase me. Once I narrowed the legs I was in love!
I'm going to need to make some more room on that Torrid Credit Card...
