Judy Blue "Cats Meow" Bootcut Jeans
My fave fabric ever is NOW in a bootcut jean! This pair is perfect for our shorter inseam ladies at only 30-31 inches in length. With a 3 inch Carley or Twinkie wedge these are full length on our 27-28 inch inseam ladies (measure crotch to the floor for full inseam length).
These are the same fabric as some super stretchy pairs like Smitten and Whiskers in the legs but the waist on these is more true to size. Ash is a 16/17 wearing the 15 in these. In some previous styles with this fabrication she wore the 13. But true to size (even size minus one) will be perfect.
Quick Sizing Help: True to size (Even Size Minus One)
2-16 Regular store sizing: Take your even size minus one to find your odd size (example a 12/13 in stores is an 11 in Judy Blue)
14w-24W Regular Dept Store Sizing: Take your even size minus one to find your EVEN base plus size (example a 16/18 is a 14w and a 20 is an 18w)
14w-24w Lane Bryant/Torrid: Stay in your normal size (if smaller waisted then follow dept store sizing above)
