For women, pregnancy is the most giving challenge when it comes to jeans. The change of the figure, especially the PBB (Pregnancy Plumber’s Butt) would result you to say farewell to your old jeans’ size. But being pregnant doesn’t mean you can’t keep up with the trends and feel fashionable, as long as you know how to adopt the trends to your new body. Check out these tips to keep your pregnancy being stylish and trendy plus pairing it up with jeans:

• Stay with your size, if you choose the bigger size you may find them too big in the bottom and thighs, and will be hitching them up all the time. So stay with your pre-pregnancy size, if anything they fit a bit on the smallish side just in the thighs. They may feel quite snug at first but the premium denim will give with each wear and wash.
• Find a natural belly band. When your jeans fit just right everywhere but the waist, a Belly-Band is the perfect solution – just slip over the waistband and hide the unfastened button. But if you don’t want to show people around you some big dark elastic waist peeking through your tees, then you could try a nude belly band.
• Choose the stretchy one. Some jeans have discreet stretchy sides that will fit you comfortably during the growing size, from month 1 till 9. Usually it’s the side panels that stretch.
• Pick high quality denim. High quality denim is the one that doesn’t sag or get stiff after washing, which usually based on cotton/spandex fabrics.
• Show your shape. Some maternity jeans are renowned to lift & shape your bottom like top designer jeans. In case you feel like it, then don’t hesitate to look for the one.

Those are all opinions, because I never have the experience of being pregnant ever. But if you find it useful then I am glad for you, but if you have something in mind that I should know then please leave a comment.

Petite Jeans by GAP

Shopping for petite jeans sizes can sometimes be a nightmare!! After a while it seems like they were only made for taller women. Petite women have special considerations in selecting a well-fitting pair of jeans. Cut, fabric, sizing, and proportion are all important factors in picking out the right pair of jeans to fit the petite woman.

Cut

The most important cuts for the petite jean design are the inseam, the length and the waist. Some companies assume that petite women must also be short. While it is always possible to shorten long petite jeans, it is impossible to lengthen jeans without enough fabric in the legs of the pants. The length should have a small hem, but not so large as to make the hem look too heavy. A bulky hem on the bottom of each leg emphasizes the contrast between the petite size of the jeans and the oversized hems.

It is critical to select petite jeans that fit well in the seat seam, rather than selecting the perfect length. Try on the petite jeans and sit down several times. All cotton jeans will stretch, but don’t count on too much stretching. The seat seam should be cut shorter for the petite body. The seam size should also be narrower than regular sizes. If the fabric seam seems bulky or bunches in the seat seam, avoid this jean line.

The waist cut means the petite jean will fit perfectly or gap underneath shirts and tops. The waist should sit at the appropriate place on the hip or waist, depending on the jean design. First, position the jeans exactly where you usually wear your jeans at the waist and hips, if the seat seam fits, then these jeans will fit well. If the seat seam is in the correct position and the waist has small gaps, these can be altered by a tailor with little effort. If the jeans cannot be positioned so the seat seam and the waist and hip line up with comfort, avoid these jeans — they are not designed for the petite woman. They are simply a petite version of the manufacturer’s regular cut for this jean design.

Fabric

Depending on the nature of the jean, the fabric might be another important element in selecting the perfect fitting petite jean. If the denim has a pattern, such as a wash or distress marks, then it is also important that these are made to fit the petite jean pattern. Large washes may look great on regular-sized jeans, but petite jeans should use fabric with smaller fabric character marks. Usually companies who carry full lines of petite clothing or companies who produce only jeans, understand the importance of petite-sized fabric requirements. Companies who sell petites as an add-on will use the same fabric in all the jeans they produce — a cost-saving device, but not one that makes their petite jeans a wise selection.

Sizing

The easiest way to find perfect fitting petite jeans is to have a selection to try on. Manufacturers who offer each petite size in various styles and lengths are the best place to find the perfect fit.

Shop for petite jeans in large chain stores or specialty petite stores for the widest possible selection. Larger department stores can frequently order petite sizes in additional lengths with a quick phone call to a warehouse or another store.

Proportion

Probably the most important consideration in picking petite jeans is proportion. Many manufacturers simply take the design for regular-sized jeans and cut down the basic size to fit the petite body. The size may fit, but the pockets and stitching look like Barbie doll clothes. Smaller-sized clothes with huge seams and oversized pockets are not the perfect fit for petite jeans.

Proportion makes a pair of petite jeans look like any other sized-jeans. The pockets on petite jeans should be sized to fit the rear proportions. The pockets should be spaced correctly and give the same margins between the side and center seams as regular or misses sizes.

Pay attention to the belt loops on your petite jeans. Loops should also be proportional. Rivets and buttons on petite jeans should be appropriate to the petite sizes. The smallest petite jeans should have smaller buttons and rivets.

Proportional stitching is also critical in making petite jeans look like they fit. Large stitches, especially on rear pockets, side seams and pant leg hems, can make or break jeans. Misses or regular jeans have an appropriate stitch pattern, so should petite jeans. Smaller stitches, with well-proportioned spacing between the seam and the decorative stitch, determine a quality petite design.

Jordana Brewster

A quick movie-interest from me. Couple of days ago, I went for this car-race movie, Fast and Furious 4! There were two reasons why I’m so into it.

1. I had this huge expectation that this one would be better than the last two previous-sequel
2. Jordana Brewster is there, filling in as Mia Toretto role.

Well, for the first expectation, I’m quite sattisfied. This one is sure much better than the two-last Fast and Furious movies. And for Jordana Brewster, whooa.. I’m glad I get my hand on the DVD (so I can watch her again and again). She’s been in the first Fast and Furious, I know. But I didn’t realize this Holywood gem before, until I watched her in this fast-paced espionage drama movie, D.E.B.S. (and I’ve been quite a fan ever since).

I’ve been spending my time to see if she got any appearance in the movie, Mia Toretto wearing jeans. It’s hard to find, and also most of the girls in the movie is acting like a race-queen. Can’t even say they wore a proper pants (*LOL*).

But instead of her, I’ve notice this great looking 2004 Miss Israel, Gal Gadot in one of the scene. Well, she spiced up my day this time. Can’t say she could be one of those Jeans Girl, though. But the way she (or the costume-designer) picked her jeans is awesome. Even if her long legs would look good in a pair of low rise jeans, she’s still look gorgeous in that pair instead.
