Review on Women'S Floral Embroidered High-Rise Bell Bottom Flare Jeans With Broad Feet And Long Denim Pants From CHARTOU by Kara Love

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Runs small. And extremely short

The embellishments on these jeans is quite beautiful. The embroidery looks of good quality., It appears to be sewn well. And the look is absolutely adorable. I’m not so sure about the button on the front which sounds a little "tinny.” I half expect it to fall off and will keep an eye on it. Do be sure you check out the detail on the bottom of the pants. They are very vintage looking and beautiful in my humble opinion, but it almost looks like an old pair of vintage pants for someone very very short, with the hem rolled out. The bottom is much darker, suggesting that the cuff did not fade like the rest of these well worn jeans. And the edges are frayed. It is exactly the beautiful vintage look I was going for, but it may not be for you, so do check out the pictures.I took the advice of other reviewers and ordered a size up. My stats 5’9”, 155 pounds, usually size medium or size 8 in US. I ordered a large and it fit fine. The waistline, tummy, hips, thighs are all good. It fits snug (not tight) and has a bit of stretch available in case these shrink or I gain a few pounds. The medium would definitely have been too tight. The backside looks nice, and again, the embellishments are beautiful.But the length is much shorter than expected. These land mid ankle, just above my foot, where my skinny jeans land. Not the right length for a boho vintage look. And I would certainly wear these with tall shoes like funky boots or 70s inspired sandals, so the length Is a big issue. I’m struggling with whether to return or keep, as they are gorgeous and I’m pretty crafty. I plan to take these on a field trip to the fabric store to find something to lengthen the bottom . white lace, tulle, eyelet to match the embroidery? Or maybe navy/denim to blend with the bottom? If I find the right embellishment, I can make these even more beautiful. If not, I’ll need to return, which breaks my heart. But these are just too short to wear as is.Update: I added this 3 1/2” navy blue lace trim (cost $8, 1 hour hand-sewing) to lengthen the jeans. I absolutely love the results, and now these are unique and mine. So don’t fret, tall gals. A little creativity can make these short jeans just right for your height!
