Slim Hip Details by beach_mom_3, on Flickr

Size 140, made out of stretch denim from Jo-anns.

alterations: taken in a bit through the inseams, outseams, back center seam. Also, I ended up running button hole elastic through the back waistband to take care of a gaping issue.

I really like the looks of these jeans in the magazine with the pintucks and topstitching. However, the fit isn't so great on my daughter. Like the other review, I don't think they are cut that slim. The Sarita jeans from 01/09 are actually slimmer through the waist and hips on my girl.

Final verdict: They'll do but I don't think I'll be making them again.
