Ok, all you shopinistas -- I keep thinking there must be some service or store out there like I'm looking for, but haven't found it yet. Is there anywhere that sells a bunch of different types/makers of jeans and has trained staff (sorta like your own Carson) to help you decide what looks best on you? I know what I'm used to wearing, but I can't help wondering if there is something I'd like better or would look/fit better but I just don't know about it? For instance, I grabbed some lower rise (I have a ridiculously long rise and usually buy higher rise jeans) jeans, with a wider leg the other day and was surprised to find out that I them.But, the choices are overwhelming and I would love to have a guide that would honestly say "no, try these. Your butt looks HUGE in those." Any suggestions or ideas? Thanks! Libby |

Ooooh, that sounds promising! But, no Florida stores either and the online one seems to be men's only -- is that true of the stores as well? I know this is one of those minor dilemmas -- but if there isn't a retailer that provides this service, there should be!!

What kind of jeans? I often find the people in Nordstoms to be very helpful and they have about 30 different styles of (very nice) jeans to try on. |

I second the Nordstrom's suggestion. Or take a friend along whose fashion sense you trust and who will be honest with you. I go to a local boutique that carries about 6-8 different types of designer jeans and the owner is very knowledgeable and helpful. When I am not looking to spend the $$$ on the designer jeans, I go to Banana Republic. I love the fit of their jeans and pants, and they aren't expensive at all. |

Mellie, I think we could be sisters! :lol: I pretty much only wear designer jeans, or Banana Republic jeans. I LOVE BR! They have so many different cuts, colours and price ranges. For instance, I am curvy so I wear their 'martian fit' in their jeans in dress pants. If you go during a sale, or especially to one of their outlets, you can find very nice jeans for $40-60. So I definitely second going there! |

You wear the Martian fit???? :lol: :lol: :lol: I bought some jeans on sale at the BR outlet for $20 a pair! They only had 2 pair left in my size or I would have bought more! My fave designer jeans are my Yanuk jeans, I also like the 1921 jeans too. |

Bensmom, you might also want to try Gap. They have a bunch of different fits, lengths, etc. I have had luck there.

You guys are great! I can hit Nordstroms the next time I am in Orlando (in May for my Barber's Board meeting -- yes, I prosecute hairdressers!) but you know, if there isn't a big jeans store with trained jeans fitters, there ought to be!
Maybe I should quit practicing law and dream up a retail store that hires Carson Kressley as its director of its merchandise and training sales associates! On the list for when I win the lottery. <sigh> Thanks for the suggestions! Libby |

Saks and Neimans also generally have whole sections dedicated to denim and employing denim specialists. I think the gentleman who started denim bar used to be the denim manager at Saks here in Tysons. |
