Make Your Petite Voice Heard

I bet y'all totally forgot I even had this blog, didn't you? Well, I didn't. Exactly. I just haven't been giving much thought to fashion lately. Dead birds falling from the sky, Snooki writes a book, and now Kalisa isn't giving much thought to fashion. End times, my friends.

But I wanted to pass on some information, about jeans, so I dusted off the ol' fashion blog in order to get the word out.

Miraclebody Jeans. I guess some people at BlogHer got some free jeans as swag? I'm not sure where, but that's a party I definitely should have been at. Anyway, they had nothing but really good things to say about them. And I've been looking for a pair of really good, really flattering jeans. Naturally I kept coming back to these, because LOOK 10 POUNDS LIGHTER IN 10 SECONDS!! ZOMG!!

So I ordered a pair. (The Skinny Minnies, if you must know.) FYI, I took a size smaller than I thought their size chart directed me to, so they run a bit large, in my experience. And I like them. I don't think I look 10 pounds lighter but I do like that they seem to be made for a body of my age rather than for a 19-year-old Britney Spears wannabe.

Unfortunately, they're not made for a body of my height. I'm having them hemmed, but the waistband, which is supposed to fall an inch below the navel, is a bit closer to the navel. Dangerously close to momjeans height, if I must say. And there's some gaping of the denim where my legs meet my torso. They're just too long overall.

So I clicked on the "Contact Us" link on the Miraclebody Jeans web site, and I sent them a message:

Will you make petite length soon? PLEASE?? I bought a pair of skinnies — I'm having them hemmed — but the waist is closer TO my navel, than an inch below. And there's some gaping where my legs meet my torso. They're just too long overall. Thanks, Kalisa (5'2")

And then I got a lovely response from the Miraclebody Jean company. They said that requests have been pouring in from women who love their jeans but need a shorter length. "And we hear you loud and clear," they said. It might've been a form letter, but it wasn't your typical form letter. Because they said they are working on a petite line and could use my input.
