and of course I was extremely surprised. I brought in 4 different pairs 18,16,14 and a 12..
I actually fit into the 12 with room to spare
I was like oh yeah doing the HAPPY DANCE!!!
But of course I did not buy them, I had the money but all they had was boot cut and skinny. Not to mention, I cant seem to find any jeans in extra super midgette!

I will keep looking for a pair with a decent length and will get them later but I sure have to say......

I LOVE VANITY SIZING!!!

Congratulations!!! I almost always have to get my jeans hemmed. I go to a small tailor shop and it only costs $8. I have found that Aeropastale short length jeans fit me just fine, no hemming needed.

Shannon, I may have to try aeropostle brand, if they fit you in length, they should fit me.

Yeah, they are perfect. Also, watch their sales and check the clearance rack. Last time I went, I got each pair for $15!

I hate it when I find a perfect pair of jeans and they are too long.

HAPPY DANCE FOR YOU!!!!! It is great fitting into smaller sizes. Even when I'm not losing very much weight, I seem to lose inches and have gone down in sizes.

Even the petite jeans are too long for me. I have to have pants hemmed, which can cost about 10 dollars/pair. I just bought some slacks from work. It was fun trying on different styles and sizes. I am down to a 6 petite. I'm sure you will there soon!!!!

All you tiny girls quit yer complaining!!  lol  Atleast you CAN have them hemmed.  Shopping for jeans has been extremely frustrating my whole life because of the length issue.  It seems that now they are making longer lengths though so it's much easier.  Oh, and don't even get me started on the frustrations of shoe shopping (size 11)! :(

Oh and Stacy, I am doing the happy dance with you on the size 12s...you go girl!!

 Awesome. Funny how a person can underestimate herself eh! I actually got a pair of jeans myself yesterday and started out with the 31 but ended up buying a 30. 31 is the biggest size in the store (ridiculous!!)  and for once i did not want the biggest size in the store!! Yeah!! I had to hem this afternoon even though I did not really have the time. And I am 5'61/2!! But this beauty is coming with me to Spain!! Sparkles!!
Congrats on you size 12!! Size 10,8,6 here you come!!

How exciting.  I am still in a L and haven't ventured into real sizes.  I hate, hate, hate trying on clothes.  But when my daughter comes home during Christmas and she can run back and forth to get different ones, I guess I'll try.
I also have to hem everything.  Don't mind pants but hate to do jeans.
