This is a great article, Mary. My sister linked me to it and I wanted to thank you for the fantastic resource. I'm a pretty average size, but jeans always make me question if I'm from another planet.
For taller curvy girls (I am 5'8") I highly recommend the Catherine jeans from Imogene+Willie. They are high rise, wide leg, and made from selvedge denim, and certain colors have a nice stretch. They remind me of the pair you showed Marilyn wearing. The inseam is 34" and they will hem it (for free!) to whatever length you request. I normally prefer a tapered leg, but these are my favorite pair and I would wear them every day if I had more opportunities to wear white jeans. I got to try them on at the store in Nashville, but I'd size down if ordering online. I'm a 28in waist and purchased a size 26. Worth the investment, as great denim usually is.
Thanks for sharing your denim success!! I’m so intrigued by Imogene and Willie and would love to visit their Nashville store some day. The ones you describe sound so good. 😊 Thanks for reading!
Yay, Mary! And long live denim! I’m not curvy, but I can apply some of these same principles to my own denim shopping. I’m 5ft7 with a short waist and long legs, so finding the right rise and inseam is crucial for feeling good on my jeans!
