Petite Ultimate Dark Wash Skinny Jeans from Banana Republic

This skinny jean an amazing fit on people with smaller frames.  The denim is very light weight, which means that it can be wear it in the summer.  It's also a smaller fit than other Banana Republic jeans I've tried- a 24P actually fits like 24Ps in other brands - I have another pair of Banana skinnies which seem to slip down a lot - it was slightly big.  Another good thing about these pants is that it's ankle length - great for those of us who are super-dooper petite or want to wear flats.  It is $89.50 US or $110 in Canada.

From Alterations Needed: Industry Standard Model Looking Ridiculous

I thought I'd like to draw your attention to THIS POST from Alterations Needed. Basically, what she is saying is that the model looks like an idiot because the pants are too short (they aren't supposed to be cropped/ankle pants - they're a PETITE LENGTH!) It's really a WTF situation here, don't you think?

By the way, I sent Gilt Groupe and email about this. Will let you know what they tell me (if they tell me anything).

March Poll Results: Alterations DON'T ALWAYS WORK!

Last Month's Question: Do you sometimes feel that your clothes need to be completely reconstructed in order for it to fit properly?






74% said: Yes! Even after hemming, the rise is still too long and sometimes the proportion isn't right.

24% said: No, not really, basic alterations work fine for me.

2% said: No, I don't need clothes altered. I buy off the rack and things fit fine.

0% said: "Other"

Since so many people said that alterations don't always work, why don't non-petite stylists/the fashion industry "get it"? Why do they push alterations, when reconstruction costs much more them simple hemming?
