But they seem quite close fitting around the hips which scares me! <br />I think the stretch in this denim definitely helped me out a little but I am really proud of how they turned out as i foresaw all kinds of issues. Thanks very much! And good luck with your fitting quest!Fiona Parkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02009622644944619042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8566831796183567008.post-30787483928183153532017-12-14T02:26:33.120+00:002017-12-14T02:26:33.120+00:00These are great!

But it is high time I took the leap and I plan to start with the Lander pants. I am so impressed with the fit you got on these. The big 4 are usually much harder to fit and part of why I have had a hard time in the past. Great job.

I'm wondering about mules or clogs with your dungerees? I think they would look chic :) You could even made yourself a pair! There are clog soles you can buy then just pick out your own fabric/leather and attach it. That might be a fun project for you in 2018.
