In May I did find a beautiful White Escada Jeans on eBay that I did Score!
They are in a cotton stretch.
They are in a cotton stretch.
Here I am wearing both my Outlet Score of Last Call Sandals and my precious white Escada Jeans with very special stitching.
Photo is taken during our 3 day stay at the Hyatt House Miami Airport, our favorite home away from home and this time it was FREE for points!

Inseam length was sufficient for my long legs, so I was happy!
Worn 1 x and only for US $ 30 and FREE shipping...
Wow, that truly was a SCORE!
BUT... they were not quite truthful. When I did wear it one time, I felt like a caterpillar as it was VERY tight in the waist!
My, did I feel FAT...
But when I was feeling in the back while wearing it, there was a bump in the seam.
Frankly, I'd been wearing a form fitting Wolford panty underneath and since it was high waisted, I kept tugging my top down for covering it and not showing...
So once I got home, I pulled my jeans down and investigated.
Sure enough, it had been ALTERED!
In the center it had been stitched off, making it a size 32 or US size 2 in the waist!
No wonder I was feeling FAT.
BUT I did solve it in a simple way.
Letting out the back seam and adding white bias tape on the inside, so I could proceed again with the top stitching.
Than I took off the waist band till the sides and did take a part out from the inside, replacing the inside part with a wide bias tape and sewing it back together, adding more width over the entire back.
I did gain about 5 cm or 2 inches as shown with my fingers.
Sorry, my left index looks flaky, had worked blisters on it from weeding, even with wearing a cotton glove and plastic glove over it!
This is the result!
Quite happy with it and it is still a Score.
Paid US $ 30 + $ 1.67 for the bias tape (the wide one, the other I still had).
Love wearing cropped cotton tops like this old one from Neiman Marcus...
Love my sandals too!
Thank you for your visit.
