Lady Levi's always had pink selvage. It was sanforized fabric. The ones I've seen are a very 50s cut, high waist and tapered, and they don't fetch a huge price partly because they look so hideous...

I had a pair with hidden rivets, I think they had a 14" rise. I ended up getting $400 for them and was very suprised. I bought them for $80 and thought that was way to much for them! The denim is light, like 11 oz.

Carpe Denim! (not the jean brand silly!)

High waist for ladies ? ew ..

The pink and baby blue combo is pretty saucy for today's standards imho . Guys wearing dark blue blazers with pastel pink shirts is not dead yet ..

Though I wouldn't still thought they were really nice .

thanks paul and sergey

LS&Co introduced Lady Levi's because so many women were going to Dude Ranches in Nevada, where they could hang around with tough ol' cowboys and get a quickie divorce. They got a taste for Dude Ranch duds while they were there. The denim look became high fashion - Vogue did a spread on Levi's around 1937 or so.

AS far as I recall the first Lady Levi's had a zip at the side, not the front, a front zip would have been considered indecen and promoting lascivious behaviour. But even in the late 40s, a lot of girls wore boys' jeans, as they were lower-cut and sexier...

What a trip.

...

I knew that women were wearing men's jeans, but I didn't think it was because they were sexier than women's jeans. That cracks me up, especially since nowadays a 5" rise isn't uncommon on women's jeans, while lower than 9" is for men.
