If I was going to order pants from them again, knowing that there is pretty much zero stretch to their denim, I'd probably go up a size, so that I could wear them more easily on my sensitive mid-section. I hope your Freddies end up working awesomely for you if you buy some, honey.<br /><br />♥ Jessica Witchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-83776778467531775942013-02-24T02:40:23.599-08:002013-02-24T02:40:23.599-08:00How awesome that you recently bought your first it...How awesome that you recently bought your first items from Freddies! I'm sorry that you found the shorts to be too short though. That is such an ever-present risk with shorts. <br /><br />I loath my knees (my knee caps are quite small in proportion to my legs and so the flesh around them ends up making my knees/legs look bigger than they are and this affect is a million miles away from flattering, let me tell you!) so I virtually never wear shorts, but if I did, they'd pretty much have to be longer walking/Bermude style ones so that my knees were covered. <br /><br />Thank you very much for your lovely comment, sweet lady - big hugs!<br />♥ Jessica Witchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-69749517679196332172013-02-24T01:15:41.081-08:002013-02-24T01:15:41.081-08:00Thank you all very much for your wonderfully nice ...Thank you all very much for your wonderfully nice comments on this fun Freddies filled post.

We also share in common the fact that our respective houses seem to gobble up light bulbs! We're very conservative with the lights we leave on, but they still seem to go out faster than birthday cake candles here. Tony's convinced their must be an issue with the wiring to some of the lights in our house, and I'm inclined to agree. <br /><br />Thanks again, sweet friend - big hugs!<br />♥ Jessica Witchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-55748735796203104832013-02-23T12:44:05.079-08:002013-02-23T12:44:05.079-08:00You look fabulous in your jeans:) I just recently...You look fabulous in your jeans:) I just recently bought a pair of Freddies jeans.

I avoid them for obvious reason (they're my required uniform for the rest of my life) but I admire them when done right by women. Pants emphasize your natural femininity by providing a slight contrast to it.<br /><br />And your wig is looking great. As you observe, they often change a little from repeated wearing and sometimes that's for the good. Wearing a bow is sooo darn cute. I wish I had your panache.

In summer, I will wear white ankle pants occasionally, and in the winter, I wear black trousers occasionally, and in the fall, I will wear jeans on college game day only. By and large, I prefer wearing dresses or skirts (dresses mostly). <br /><br />I think your wig is totally awesome. I'm glad it's working out so well for you. And that hair bow...to die for! It looks great!<br /><br />By the way, the lighting in our house isn't the best either...and we seem to be replacing light bulbs every other week. Especially since, as you know, I don't do the dark days of winter very well, so I turn on every light in the house.<br /><br />Enjoy your weekend, my dear.<br /><br />Love,<br />PattiPatti https://www.blogger.com/profile/12931836399684850729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-11848988984685795832013-02-23T02:17:56.642-08:002013-02-23T02:17:56.642-08:00I love the hair bow, so cute! ♥I love the hair bow, so cute! ♥Dannihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06578037039823632532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-23278625996735077502013-02-22T19:01:46.036-08:002013-02-22T19:01:46.036-08:00Hello dear Cammila, so fantastic to see you again....Hello dear Cammila, so fantastic to see you again.

My figure is anything but perfect, but the older I get, the better (humbly) I become at knowing how to dress it to its best advantage. <br /><br />How lovely that you have two pairs of Freddies, too. I'm sorry to hear that they don't find you at the moment (I'm sure you'll wear them again, fear not), but totally what you mean. There's not really any stretch to their denim, and if one's weight goes up even just a little, they can become (too) tight really quickly. <br /><br />♥ Jessica Witchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-22807692655219164292013-02-22T18:54:14.750-08:002013-02-22T18:54:14.750-08:00Hi sweet Sean, thank you very much.

Indeed, it is one the perks of being on pint sized side of the height spectrum. :) <br /><br />I have three pairs of Freddies pants and (I think) four tops from them, all bought around the end of 2011/start of 2012 when I was selling a lot of items (not clothes, collectibles I'd had for ages and decided to part with) to help finance the clothes shopping I was doing to fill in some of the larger gaps in my wardrobe. So glad I bought these items when I did, because I'd pretty much be pants-less (save for some capris) without my Freddies! :)<br /><br />Thanks again & oodles of hugs,<br />♥ Jessica Witchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-26855848754288154952013-02-22T18:47:41.749-08:002013-02-22T18:47:41.749-08:00Awww, thank you very much, sweet Holly.

It's funny you know, I have a fairly small waist (not microscopic - oh how I wish at times that it was so that I could wear all those amazing 24" waist vintage dresses and skirts I see for sale everyday), but being petite and curvy (and preferring not to wear skin tight clothing), not all outfits highlight it equally well. I'm touched to know that you - and some of the other ladies who commented here - think this one does. <br /><br />For sure, I'd love to see the pants you picked up on eBay, anytime.

There are some sellers on etsy producing custom repro trousers and jeans, if if looks like Freddies might be too short for your inseam length, I'd recommend going the custom made route (I've not bought any from etsy sellers myself, but price wise, most pairs I've seen have been comparable to the from Freddies, especially factoring the currency conversion). Best of luck with your search - I bet you'll look fantastic, too, in whatever repro jeans you settle on.<br /><br />♥ Jessica Witchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-57815727584758387082013-02-22T18:39:47.752-08:002013-02-22T18:39:47.752-08:00Thank you very much, dear Michelle - your lovely c...Thank you very much, dear Michelle - your lovely comment and understanding on the pants front both mean a lot to me.
