JEANS TOO LONG? WAIST TOO TIGHT? ALTERNATIVE TO HEMMING

I would like to share this little secret I figured out as an alternative to hemmingSeven for all Mankindjeans that are a little too long and a trick to add up to an inch to the waist measure for when your jeans are a little tight in the waist. ESPECIALLY for rigid jeans but will work for any pair of yourfave jeans! If you are like me, I like my jeans to be a little too long especially when wearing high heels with my favorite jeans because I like that elongated look you get from the front view.I think it takes 10 pounds off your look. They only problem is the hems drag in the back and they get all chewed up from your heel and walking on them. If you hem them, you lose that long look in the front. Here is the trick: turn the jeans inside out, fold the center of the back hem of the jeans up and put a few simple hand stitches in toraise the hem only in theback where your heel is situated. In the back you can have the hem fall just at the heel so they just barely graze the ground when you walk and still have thefront long and unhemmed. It soundsit would be visible but it is really not.Here is a picture of my favorite seven for all mankinds done this way. I think it looks great from front to back and I won't put any wear on the hems. Just a little alternative to hemming you may find works for you!!! The last pic is another trick. These are the same Seven for all Mankind jeans. You ever have a pair of jeans that fit perfect but the waist is just a tad too tight but fit great everywhere else?? me too! Or when you are bloated you have to unbutton the button?? Usually there is a little space next to the button where you can sew on another button for when you are a little bloated or when you just a little extra room in the waist. This way you are securely buttoned up without busting a gut!! If you wear a belt, no one can see it or even if you wear a top that covers it in the front. I hope you find these hints helpful!!! IF YOU DID, VOTE YES AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE!! THAN YOU VERY MUCH!!!
