Raw for Women

[wtfsuveena]

got the pbjs but i can't get them all the way up because the thighs are too tight. i need them to go up 1-2 more inches! i'm scared they'll rip if i keep trying. should i exchange it for a size 1? or should i try wet stretching or something? will they stretch enough? =x i don't wanna size up and have it end up too loose. how long did it take you ladies to put them on the first time? is it supposed to be his hard? lol

[mmg]

for what it's worth, i've never really seen too-loose pbjs for women. i was in your position and decided to tough it out--they did get wearable eventually, but never comfortable, and i finally admitted to myself they were no fun after a year of doing gymnastics every day trying to get them on. if i had it to do over, i'd exchange them. my two cents

[crissyw]

i toughed it out, couldn't move but i think i could get them up all the way (no button though). i slept in them for 2 days and i think i could button them. if you can't get your thighs in now, size one up. even if it's super tight, it'll stretch out to a more comfortable fit

does anyone know anything about N&F sizing for the skinny girl? and also how the silk denim is?

Thanks

First ever post! Nice to be here and thanks for having me.

Moving on: GF's first foray into the world of raw denim. 3sixteen+ 99BSP, size 27, true waist 26", hips (butt?) 35". Thanks to Kiya for his patience with sizing!

^ would probably look better with a slight hem.

[tooshay]

Definitely. This was the initial fit pic to see that they're sized right before hemming. I think they're gonna go down to 33".

[itschrisb]

Fit looks awesome on those 3sixteens

[crissyw]

those look great lianne! wish they still sold the old batch of those pbjs, i'd totally buy them

Hi, I'm relatively new here but am looking into getting a pair of raw denim, but my hips are on the wider side. Any advice/recommendations on where to start? Although I do like the sling and stones...

[crissyw]

wide hips mean you can probably do the sling and stones. i'd advise against PBJs and nudies.

A friend of mine with wider hips has done well with Sling and Stones and the new 3sixteen+. Neither looked painted on. I think she had Samurai Geishas at one point too.

Another lady I knew wore Flat Head F310 and Iron Heart 301, but she liked (relatively) looser straight cuts.

I would agree about Nudie and PBJ and also include N&F and Skull Lindas.

SELA has all of the women's cuts they carry online available to try on.

[2's & 3's]

wanted to post in here before going into the marketplace. but ladies i have a pair of FH f310, tag size 30. shrunk up WAY too much during the initial wash. I threw them in the dryer for about 20 mins and i think that's what killed it. they're more like a sz 25 now. my sister tried them on and they have a very flattering silhouette. pm me if interested!

[wtfsuveena]

I exchanged for a size 1...the thighs are still tight but I can at least pull them up all the way now. the waist is too easy to button though = belt

I'm 5"1' so I definitely need them hemmed...how do I know how much to take off to have the right amount of stacking?

Also, how do you wear them with boots? If you cuff them, won't it leave a weird crease? Does the shaft of the boots create weird fades?

the finest fades a jean can develop

I so love this thread

[mmg]

washed my balders so i thought i'd throw up a few pics. i'm not wearing them super hard but there's some nice stuff happening. these are pre-wash. color is pretty accurate.

[patchmb]

^ Thats weird. When my gf had a pair they had a tapered outer seam with no selvedge showing.

[mmg]

yeah the self edge website description says that too...dunno what to tell you. i bought them at SE, they say balder on them....kiya?

So my girlfriend is considering a new pair of denim. She has been looking at the PBJs, 3sixteen+, and APCs. Here are a few shots of her. Can anyone recommend a fit? Because there aren't any denim shops around here. thanks!

[Guest redchris]

Balders or Geishas .

Skull Linda - Size 2 - Maybe 6 months of effective wear

Pre-soak: I lost a bit of weight so they were huge on me with a pretty terrible fit but here are some shots of them

(They are hanging on a fence, so please mind the way the bum looks)

(If anyone from Toronto can recommend a place to get the crotch repaired, I'd appreciate it)

Post-soak: They shrunk back quite a bit and are now nice and tight again... I'll take some fit pictures when we have a nice day here.

Denim repair in Toronto: Sydney's (Queen St. West), no question.

of those three, 3sixteen+ are gonna be the best fit for her i think

That 3rd pic down is spooky. Looks like a ghost wearing them.

M.O.A. is this comment too "sexually explicit" ?

[M.O.A]

that's very mature of you.
