RE: Re: Jean sizes

[Guest guest]

I like the Gap Curvy jeans. They are a little low cut but seem to fit

better. barb dudley, high point, oct 15, 2003, 242/140

I believe they do have shorter sizes. They have three or four different

cuts of jeans. There's one cut that isn't as low as the others, and that

works well for me. Also, the jeans go on sale a lot. They send me emails

with coupons, and I never pay full price for anything in there! Check out

Talbots and Chicos, too. Last I looked, Talbots was having a monster sale.

Chicos is pricey, but if you get their catalogs, each one has a pretty

generous coupon in it. Plus, it's a fun place to shop!

Good luck -- let me know how it goes!

PS I usually get the Levis at Kohls...good prices there.
