shrinking/sizing on paiges?

yukina · #1 (**permalink**) 06-07-2006, 06:49 PM

I'm about to buy my first pair of Paiges (LC or Picos), but I'm worried about the fit. Has anyone had any luck shrinking this brand? Do they shrink normally in the wash? And what washes run big/TTS/small? (I've read dark clean runs big, and light clean runs tighter.) I've also read that stretch are tighter as well - which washes are stretch?

I have the asian "small/no butt" thing going, so I hope this brand will help perk everything up!

Oh, and I'm new to the forum...hi everyone

*waves*

I haven't tried shrinking Paige's because Paige's are the one brand where the 24s actually fit me the way I like my jeans to fit, woohooo!!!

I can't help you with your other questions since I don't really know much about Paige (just that they're jeans fit amazing and I can't stop buying them) but man... I have NO butt and my boyfriend actually commented that he thinks I gained weight in that area when I had my Paige's on!!!

see...I think the opposite. My dark washes have fit tighter than my lighter washes, but the lighter washes have stretched out more (medium clean stretches a lot).

I can't help with the shrinking though because I've never tried.

I shrunk up my light cleans a little. I'm usually a 25/26 and these were a 27 (i must have lost weight because they fit me perfectly when I bought them) and now they fit tight when I put them on, but stretch out. but they def. fit small...I only shrank them about a half-size, but they stretch out a lot.

IMO the darker washes run more TTS, and stretch out less (with the exception of afterhours and midnight rocker). whereas the lighter ones tend to run a tad small (medium clean and lighter), but not really enough to size up--they'll just be super-tight at the beginning of the day, but stretch with wear. and IMO dark clean does not run big...not at all. Almost all paiges are stretch.

jen, I hope that paiges will have the same effect in "that area" for me too!

what other brands/styles do you recommend?

Thanks for the info! I've went ahead and ordered a pair of dark clean picos. Good choice?

*crosses fingers* I hope they'll fit okay! (and the waiting begins...)

awesome! where did you order from? I bet you'll love them!

Mine haven't shrunk at all in the wash. They do stretch a bit with wear and they certainly help the rear...I have a butt to begin with but my bf actually commented on it when I wore my Paiges.

I ordered them from shopepic - found a valid coupon and got 20% off

LC light clean las flores has become a lemming since there's so much talk about them...but I can't find a size 24 anywhere online to order them!
If I had the money, I would go and get these instead...

So pretty. I wonder if anyone from the board owns a pair of these?

I just recently got the same exact pair! dk.clean w/ crease Picos. When I tried them on in the fitting room they were pretty tight but hopefully they'll stretch out a decent amount so I don't get camel toes

Lucky you - you had the chance to try them on?

How were they?

jen, let me know how they are for you! That thread about "camel toe" was such a shocker for me. Ugh...it's one of those images you'd prefer not to think too hard about! I ordered mine online, and now I'm worried about how dark "dark clean" is. The pics I could find don't help much...check out the ones on revolve:

I know they aren't that dark, but the med cleans look so light there. But even if I wanted to order the med cleans, I couldn't find a place to order them in my size...

Since you already have your picos, you should definitely post up pics somewhere for us to see!
