Light weight denim with a higher mid-rise waist and straight leg. Distressed has raw cut hem for easy to "cut to length".  Non-distressed has finished hem.  Functional front and back pockets. Denim has light stretch and relaxes some with wear. This color fits slimmer than other “mels faves” and is not as oversized but is more of a true to size fit.  Stay in your normal size. If between sizes, size up.  If you wear two sizes in our denim go with your upper size.

Melissa is 5'5" denim size 4 generally (occasionally a 2).  She prefers the size 4’s in this vintage wine and the new natural color of this denim.

Model is 5'8" a size 4 and wears a size Small

    Mel's Fave Distressed Straight Leg Cropped Denim in Light Mid-Wash
    Mel’s Fave is MY fave!

    I have several pairs of Mel’s Fave denim and for good reason- they are light weight and comfy, relaxing a bit with wear. I was probably one of the last to move away from skinny jeans but I absolutely love Mel’s Fave! Being 5’2”, these hit longer on me so I cut off an inch. Love that they are raw hem for a casual look but I also dress them up as well. Pre pregnancy I am size 4 so I’d size down to 2 in these like Mel does, but currently I’m 9 weeks post partum and sized up to a 6. I have these in sizes 2-6 in all the colors!

    Mel's Fave Distressed Cropped Straight Leg Colored Denim in Vintage Wine
    New neutral go-to

    I have several of the colors in these denim and just recently bought the vintage wine a couple sizes up to fit me during my postpartum days. I am normally a size 4 but currently am seven weeks postpartum. I ordered a size 8, and I can zip them up all the way, but it’s a tad snug on my waist, but that shouldn’t be a problem in the next few weeks as I continue to lose baby weight. When I lose all the weight, I plan to still wear them, but may need a thin belt to help keep them up. I like that these are not a true brown, but have that wine undertone and plan to style it with shades of blush and creams and white. Mel’s fave denim are my fave too!!

    Please make more non-distressed colors!

    I really love these jeans! They are stretchy and comfortable. As someone who is 5’2”, I like the raw hem on the bottom because it allows me to trim off an inch or two easily to match my height. If there were more color options in non-distressed fabric I would buy every color, but unfortunately my options are limited as most options are distressed, which I won’t buy as I wear most of my jeans to work.
