PS- Jordyn, I need to know if you sized up in the Re/Done pair? Or are they your normal size?

Perfect! It’s the fine line of wanting them to sit on the hip and not feel like a total saggy butt.

Love this topic and your research, I just mentioned the length and zip size/placement, but pockets - very aptly noted, bravo 👏.

I’m a big fan of this “adult” version of the low rise jeans

Having sewn a couple pairs of jeans for myself and thus having cut out the fabric bits… I’ve heard the parts where the zipper is called the fly, the flap, the overlap, the placket, and (the back part) the button bar (yes, even if it’s a zipper, it’s the fabric where there would be buttons if they were button fly) or the underlap (though that resource is originally in Dutch, so I don’t know if that’s in use in places that primarily speak English).

Wowowowow you lil smartie pants; the pocket placement! The zipper length! You truly just taught me so much about what I am seeing with low-slung pants that I wasn't able to grasp fully. Truly so excited to reference this as I search for this pant style this year!

So many good nuggets! I struggle with the hem puddling bc I’m just so short and it can look comical on me but it’s a look I always love!
