I was holding my breath waiting to see if you pulled those overalls our of your shopping bag. They looked so stinking cute on you. Great video! Made me feel a little less anxious about doing some jean shopping.
I feel so bad saying this because I love this video but it’s so fun to see you in the fitting room chatting having actual moments and laughing and stuff lol
Love to see videos where you’re feeling yourself at all angles! Really inspires me to be confident and loving towards myself at all my angles! Stomach, booty and all! Thank you Carrie:)
On midrise : "I don't know who hurt you...". Lol!!! Thanks for the laugh, Carrie. It's been a tough week and this is the first time this week I laughed. xoxo
everyone is already saying this but def size down even if you like your jeans comfy/loose. they stretch out after a few wears and stay that way. i think you should poss try the curvy jeans too! I find that with madewell, the jeans really slim my front because the pockets and material is thicker - whereas AE jeans are a bit thinner and it doesn't do me any favors in that area so it's worth the price to me AND their customer service is amazing. I ripped my jeans after having them for a month and they refunded me 100% of what I paid.
Where did you get your hat? I don't know how mid-rise stays up. That's my widest part, I can pull them off without unbuttoning / need to walk around holding my pants up.
PSA: I got the 10" button front jeans at my local Madewell this week for 39.99 with an extra 40% off, so I bought them for 23.99! (originally 135!) go run and get some jeans if you can!
As a Madewell associate my top tip is that most of our Denim stretches a 1/2 size in the first wear and will **generally** stay that way, esp if you follow care instructions and minimize washing! As crazy at it is, the jeans should be the least comfy the day you try them in the fitting room. I always recommend if people are unsure about sizing to grab the pair they feel most confident is their size but before wearing them out of the house please lounge around your house in them for at least an hour to double check you love the fit! Madewell jeans are insanely good quality and worth the price but you have to smartly size as our product does tend to run big depending on cut. Based on your feedback I would recommend you give the curvy high rise skinnies a go, and also when you bring a pair of jeans in the store to donate (we turn it into wall insulation) you get $20 BUCKS off any piece of full priced denim!
Micaela Sher Does the recycled pair of jeans have to be Madewell brand to get $20 off? Is it possible to recycle any denim brand, even if you don’t get the discount?
Those overalls were made for you!!! Also, I actually liked the voiceover. You seemed more comfortable and I hope you continue to do more In store try ones with this method!!
Hey Carrie! I used to manage a Madewell, with the denim & the gapping, it is doing that because you need to size down! The width in the thighs and length will stay the same, but the waist will change. They usually mold to your body after two to three wears! I am the same size as you, 5’10 and always get a 31 or 30. ✨✨✨ Different denim will vary in fit based on the Material also, If something has more cotton and is stiff I always size up. The price is that way because they are sourced ethically from specific high grade mills, are all hand made, and each pair take over a month to make. You can also recycle an old pair of denim to get $20 off each pair!
@@emmahunt92 Wash them every 5-6 wears is usually how long I go unless I feel the need to wash them earlier, and we recommend washing them inside out in cold water, dry them for like 10 minutes, then just hang them to dry!
I love the voiceover because we get more details and it seemed like you were more yourself and not worried about being heard or seen. I also love the cute doodle additions 😊
“I don’t know who hurt you” 😂. Actually, though, high rise jeans hurt me...BAD. My poor chubby tummy can't take the pressure. Must be a body shape thing.
Beth B My mom feels that same way! It’s crazy cause for me I’m scrawny lol but don’t like high waist because they cut me off and give me a pudge whereas to low rise actually make my figure nice
I really liked that you did a voice over this time for the dressing room! I bet it made it a lot less awkward for you! Also I LOVE the overalls and those white jeans looked amazing on you too! 💕💕
Omg that is like my one frustration with all jeans honestly, they never come up as high in the back as they do in the front for me xD the front covers my boobs and the back shows my ass. I can’t win 😭😂 thank you for the video!

Usually it's the other way around for me. I hate it haha 😭
when I try on jeans or pants in general my mom always says I have to do the "sit test". its basically when you try to sit down in the jeans to see if you still can breathe and the don't cut in to your stomach or legs. would love to see you try that if you haven't already!
So true especially with high waisted, I try to remember this every time, and I try not to suck in my stomach and I do unflattering thing to see how they look. Lol I could never take a camera in the dressing room with me, kudos to Carrie for doing it for us!
@@beckyboop9386 omg yes hahah. I always make myself look the worst so I know if they ACTUALLY fits. yeah true, I take my mom or a friend sometimes though so we can laugh together!
I agree! Highly recommend trying them on in-store and purchasing on Poshmark or a similar platform. ☺️ Also, if you bring an old pair of jeans you get $20 off your purchase of a new pair.
I’m so sick of TH-camrs and people on the comment section complaining about the price of clothing places like Madewell, Everlane, and Reformation. They are all ethical and sustainable brands and therefore the companies would lose money by selling their clothes cheaper. It is really expensive to produce clothes the correct and ethical way. Anything cheaper is most likely produced in a sweatshop and has a huge toll on the environment. If you don’t wanna spend that money then don’t but don’t complain about these brands being expensive.
I love the voice over!! I have social anxiety and definitely understand how filming in public would be stressful. You seem much more comfortable and able to talk fully about the clothing (all of which look great on you, white jeans included!).
one time i thrifted these perfect jeans (perfect wash, fit, material, etc.) for $3. turns out they were madewell jeans originally $130! this is why i thrift!
I’d recommend the curvy style at Madewell to avoid that gap in the back! I had the same problem, I tried on a pair of high rise jeans there in a 31 and had a huge gap in the back but fit everywhere else then I tried a 31 in the Curvy “tencel” kind, same cut and they fit perfect with no gap!
You and Sierra are the reason I found Madewell! TYSM for bringing this brand into my life. They're expensive, but when you find them at Nordstrom Rack, it's more manageable and I always love what I get
No one “hurt” me I like mid rise jeans because I am 5’2 and have a short torso and American eagles highest rise and stuff they all go up to my underbust which is not Comfortable
My mom is a professional seamstress and according to her and her training in textiles, one of the reasons that clothes in the same size from the same brand can fit so differently is because different fabrics behave differently even when cut the same way. So those two pairs of jeans you tried on that were the same pair we’re probably cut out of a different weave, therefore they can behave differently even if they’re the cut the same. Also different designs cut to the same size can just fit differently because they’re just cut and/constructed differently. It’s like how you and Sierra can try on the same pair of clothes in the same size and they fit you each different because you have different bodies. The clothes are just different. Furthermore, the direction in which the fabric is cut can effect this as well.
Carrie, you looked amazing in the mid rise Jean's, I preferred those over all of the other ones on you. Sometimes you just have to change your mindset since you are so dedicated to high rise.
Marie G how long have you been wearing them? Have they started to rip in the thighs? That’s my biggest problem, even with American eagle jeans in less than a year!
Courtney G I’ve worn them about 6 times these still look like new though. I also have the same problem specially with Hollister jeans they suck! But fit so nice 😣
Loved the voiceover! Definitely know how it feels to walk out a dressing room after face timing or something and everyone stares like I’m a crazy person 🤣
Mid rise doesn’t make me feel uncomfy and restricted like high rise does, especially when I’m sitting, but I’m also 5’3” so mid rise is almost like a high rise on me, without the discomfort🤣
LOVE THAT YOU SHOWED YOUR STRETCH MARKS! They’re natural and idk why most people try to hide them and even go as far as edit them out! I LOVE THIS. Thank you for normalizing this.
Madewell is a shop where you definitely benefit from getting helped by an associate! I’ve worked at Madewell for so long now and seeing all of these videos make me so sad because people don’t know how to find their madewell Jean! That dropping in the back and the gap above the booty is because you have curves! If you check out our “curvy” selection it gives more in the thigh and tappers at the waist and helps with those problems! Also on the topic of “mid rise” our jeans aren’t actuallly mid rise. If you are shopping at American Eagle or Target and looking at Midsize jeans they will be an 8in rise, while Madewell “mid rise” are 9in. As a company we rebranded our 9in high rise to be called a mid rise for more of the mom crowd that doesn’t like or feel uncomfortable in high rise fits. So you are really in a higher rise in any of our jeans!! (And the perfect vintage jeans are a high rise actually 11”, but you have to have noooo curves to be able to fit in them. We’ve had a lot of issues with them because they are 100% cotton) And as far as sizing goes, it’s all on the cotton percentage!! If something has a ton of cotton it will fit wayy tighter and if it’s more elastic it will be way more stretchy. Same with both pants and skirts. And on top of that madewell jeans are meant to stretch! They are made to live like new shoes, stretch to fit you! So you always want our jeans to be nice and snug in store!Also definitely bring up the blue jeans go green program, bring in old jeans and you’ll get $20 off of your full price jeans in store!! My biggest thing though - go in and try on some curvy! Curves happen and it can happen to any size and the curvy styles help! Lol, sorry for the mass word vomit! But Madewell employees want you to ask for their help! We love helping and want you to get the jeans meant for you!! ❤️❤️
Thank You for saying Madewell is overpriced! I hear all the time in other videos, madewell is affordable! Will I spend a little coin for some nice jeans, heck yes. But 50 dollars for a thin see through shirt, pass!!!!
Honestly, THANK YOU. Since I’ve started watching your videos, I went to the beach and to a spinning class, two things I would never have done before because of my weight. ❤️
@@jeannep.9472 it's really no problem, I just thought it would help you mentally/emotionally to know someone cares & is rooting for you😊 I love to help & we all deserve the absolute HIGHEST form of self love!💕💕💕
As pricey as Madewell jeans may be, I have found them entirely worth it!! As long as you follow care instructions, they will last for so long! (Also, one of the only times I have had jean shopping experiences where I didn't feel defeated when I left the store, empty-handed or not). If you are a Madewell Insider (free to sign up!!), you get $25 off any purchase during your birthday month. You can also bring in any brand of used jeans, and they will recycle them into eco-friendly insulation, and you'll receive $20 off a new pair of jeans. They also offer a 15% discount to students and teachers, as well having a pretty solid sale section in-store and online!!
I love the voice-over! Same way I did my thrifting video because I'm so damn awkward talking to myself! PS. the button-up jeans were smoking but I get it
U are really darling😘😎 I commend ur embracing ur body n pushing toward normalcy! Everyone should be following this. Sending u a lot of love n know I got ur back, live the feed back on madewell just ordered a few things online from them
Hi Carrie! I work at Madewell and I CANNOT recommend the high rise skinny in carbondale wash enough! I've had mine for years and the black never fades. Also, I'm a true 28 everywhere but madewell. I always size down to a 27 because a lot of the denim stretches after a few wears. And a tip for madewell denim and jeans in general- neeeeeeever dry them because the dryer burns the elastane so once they stretch out, they won't go back! Also donate any full length denim from any store to get $20 off. I know it's pricey but the quality and ethical sourcing makes it so worth it!!!
I tried on jeans at Madewell for the first time about a month ago and I was so frustrated at how inconsistent the sizing was! I definitely expected a better experience considering the price point.
The gap in the back: with a good size booty and a smaller waist this will always happen. IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT! If you 're able sew a few small darts in the waistband. with the jeans on, inside out, squeeze 2 equal size darts and pin them with safety pins. At this point: either take them to a dry cleaner that has tailoring OR sew them yourself. Using a pencil, draw along the line the pins form. Readjust the pins to hold it together but not get in the way of the sewing. Use a heavy duty thread and stitch along the line, do this at least twice. It may seem too bulky but if you then sew the edge of the dart down it's amazing how smooth it will be.
I loved this video! I recently bought two pairs of madewell high rise and feel that they are 100% worth the investment because they stretch and hug my body and make me feel confident. 💛 I also was frustrated with size inconsistencies, so thank you for putting into words what I often feel in the dressing room!
I hardly ever leave comments on your videos, but when you bought those black jeans for $128 it hurt my soul! I don't think they fit you well enough to justify the price. Usually, if you have a gap in the back, it means the jeans aren't made with your measurements. For me, I always get a gap in the waist, except with curvy jeans because good curvy jeans are made for a bigger waist to hip ratio. Idk if that makes sense, but basically if the jeans fit your hips and thighs well, but not your waist, then that particular style just isn't going to work even if you size down. I think Madewell has a curvy line, maybe you could see if they have any in black and see if those fit you better. Also whenever I see jeans drop down in the back, I usually take that to mean that particular style wasn't designed for someone with a bigger butt in mind. I feel like a lot of higher-end stores aren't made with bigger people in mind, even if they do have bigger sizes. The overalls looked amazing on you though! I'm glad you got them!
Thank you for showing the side view! When I try on clothing, I always think it looks great from the front, then question it from the side. But I remember to tell myself that’s just how my body is, and that’s ok. Also, the voiceover is great!
ahh I found those button front jeans at my goodwill outlet, they had a small tear in the inside thigh but I LOVE THEM. they are so comfy and Cuuuuute and what for maybe $2?? I hope you thrift some!😍
For the gap in the back of your jeans, when you’re paying that much money for jeans, go to a seamstress and they will take the gap in in the back for cheap. It’s like $15! I have to do that all the time!
Can I say how much I love that you unapologetically put yourself out there and just are you 🙌🏻🙌🏻 ❤️ it’s everything. Hoping to create that vibe on my channel someday soon. Still SUPER awkward filming in public 😂😂 so huge respect. And girl 100% keep the voiceovers, just as fun to watch and helps you avoid awkward stares. Lol
Omg, no stretch???!! YES!! I flipping hate that I can only find jeggings. And I cannot wear high rise at all. They roll down and bag at the crotch because I am low waisted.
you filming in public is a feat in itself, it would be so difficult for me to do that lol! i recommend trying the abercrombie curve love line, there is less of a waist gap, which i saw you struggled with on the first madewell jeans. :) btw love madewell jeans so much, i have a video reviewing them on my channel too!
Ok, one more comment,... you are AMAZING! Your ability to try your jeans on camera is nothing less than STELLAR! You are absolutely gorgeous and a tribute to women. Kudos to you doll!
Carrie! I have the jeans with the buttons on the front and I got them on sale for $40!!! So I would just suggest to wait a little and get them on sale. Those are the most amazing jeans but I would say that they do stretch out after a wash and wear, but they are SO COMFY. Thanks for the video and all the positive attitude towards your body. You have definitely helped with on my body confidence journey! Love you!
So happy you were able to find some nice things Carrie! After watching your video I’m now Thinking of trying out what they have, if they have petite lengths that is 😅☺️
Carrie, here are my thoughts on why a store carries their extended sizes online vs in store; Cost more to ship (more fabric), take up more room to display, and maybe don't display as attractively. Both of those are practical reasons, as is that a plus size gal may not be as comfortable shopping in store.
I used to work at Madewell, and when our customers have the gap in the back, we always encouraged them to try a size down. It may feel like it won’t work, but almost always after a couple minutes the smaller size felt perfect. They will stretch out 1/2 a size, so if possible get the ones that fit your waist!
Gotta say i really epriciated you mentioning your strech marks! still something i'm trying to get more comfortable about with my own body...and BTW if the skirt was the right size it would look amazing on you!
The button fly jeans are amazing. I own them in a 31, got them at Plato’s closet for $15. Currently they’re all over Poshmark and Mercari cause they went major sale online over the holidays.
hey girl, love the video! I actually work for madewell and I really think you should try sizing down and maybe starting at 29/30/31 in jeans or maybe even try the curvy line. Our jeans are meant to fit snug because they will give! So many of my customers, including myself have made that mistake in not going down sizes because we think "there's no way I can fit into that" but really you'd be surprised! Hopefully this will help next time you're looking into purchasing a new pair :)
Madewell is nice because they have great size range and the quality is nice BUT its just too expensive. They're product starts to fall into the same price range as designer like Joe Jeans, paige etc.
TW: Body Image; Comparing; Anxiety Okay, but can I say I SOOOOO appreciate you showing the stretch marks! I have struggled my whole life with body image and I love watching fashion TH-cam, but so much of it is skinny women! Just to be clear, there is NOTHING wrong with being skinny. All bodies are beautiful bodies! The problem comes when that is all that is represented, so I spent years trying on the same things these girls were trying on, and it not looking good on me and me thinking the problem was with ME when really, clothes look different on different body types, and I needed to stop trying to make the same fashion work for my taste! So then I started watching mid-sized TH-camrs (as I am a mid-sized gal!) like you and Sierra and Susie as well, which has helped a lot! BUT even so, my mind still likes to be nasty sometimes and go "you guys have similar bodies, but they still look gorgeous and you don't!". But I often forget, we don't always see the parts people are insecure about. Some of the things that I worry make me "ugly" include my stretch marks and my cellulite. And I know it was such a small moment that really didn't need to be a big deal, but when you showed your stretch marks I actually started crying. Because then my mind went "if she's that gorgeous WITH and NOT IN SPITE OF her stretch marks, you can be too". And I know just in general I need to stop comparing myself to other people, but until then I just wanted to let you know how much that meant to me. Sorry this comment is so long! And feel free to delete if anything comes off as offensive or inappropriate.

LOVE THIS. THANK YOU!
I love thrifting and I always shop all of the sizes. I wear everything from an XS to an XL. Never rely on sizing...rely on fit :)
@@mandy833 I also thirft a lot but the same day on the same store you would expect to fit in the same size
When I used to shop at Bershka I was xs in tees and medium on anything else lol
lolll so true....
The gap in the back is a real struggle! Taking them in is so worth it.
Daniela Chamorro try the Curvy jeans from American Eagle! I used to have that problem, and those jeans SAVED me!

I also think it has to do with the wash/dye. I’ve tried on same jeans in diff colors and one stretches more and fit better than the other.
This madewell vid makes me want to try their jeans again!!! They are so flattering.i am a midrise kinda jean gal..cant wait to try them...thank you
Carrie, you looked amazing in the mid rise Jean's, I preferred those over all of the other ones on you. Sometimes you just have to change your mindset since you are so dedicated to high rise.
YES YES YES!! Ah you’re so amazing and I love everything you post!!!
Perfect jeans or not I could NEVER with this price point.
I've had a very off day but was so happy when you popped up on my notifications! Can you please do a lookbook
Have you tried universal thread jeans? There’s some that are amazing quality! And are super stretchy
Marie G how long have you been wearing them? Have they started to rip in the thighs? That’s my biggest problem, even with American eagle jeans in less than a year!
@@courtney7519 Each pair is so different from the next but in my experience they do.
*There's
Courtney G I’ve worn them about 6 times these still look like new though. I also have the same problem specially with Hollister jeans they suck! But fit so nice 😣
Linda from SEA AT TULL autocorrect sorry 😆 I typed it and didn’t read it before hand.
Loved the voiceover! Definitely know how it feels to walk out a dressing room after face timing or something and everyone stares like I’m a crazy person 🤣
I’m here for the voice over
Mid rise doesn’t make me feel uncomfy and restricted like high rise does, especially when I’m sitting, but I’m also 5’3” so mid rise is almost like a high rise on me, without the discomfort🤣
Yes! I’m 5’1 and the midrise is def the perfect high rise on me
LOVE THAT YOU SHOWED YOUR STRETCH MARKS! They’re natural and idk why most people try to hide them and even go as far as edit them out! I LOVE THIS. Thank you for normalizing this.

Madewell is a shop where you definitely benefit from getting helped by an associate! I’ve worked at Madewell for so long now and seeing all of these videos make me so sad because people don’t know how to find their madewell Jean! That dropping in the back and the gap above the booty is because you have curves! If you check out our “curvy” selection it gives more in the thigh and tappers at the waist and helps with those problems! Also on the topic of “mid rise” our jeans aren’t actuallly mid rise. If you are shopping at American Eagle or Target and looking at Midsize jeans they will be an 8in rise, while Madewell “mid rise” are 9in. As a company we rebranded our 9in high rise to be called a mid rise for more of the mom crowd that doesn’t like or feel uncomfortable in high rise fits. So you are really in a higher rise in any of our jeans!! (And the perfect vintage jeans are a high rise actually 11”, but you have to have noooo curves to be able to fit in them. We’ve had a lot of issues with them because they are 100% cotton) And as far as sizing goes, it’s all on the cotton percentage!! If something has a ton of cotton it will fit wayy tighter and if it’s more elastic it will be way more stretchy. Same with both pants and skirts. And on top of that madewell jeans are meant to stretch! They are made to live like new shoes, stretch to fit you! So you always want our jeans to be nice and snug in store!Also definitely bring up the blue jeans go green program, bring in old jeans and you’ll get $20 off of your full price jeans in store!!
My biggest thing though - go in and try on some curvy! Curves happen and it can happen to any size and the curvy styles help!
Lol, sorry for the mass word vomit! But Madewell employees want you to ask for their help! We love helping and want you to get the jeans meant for you!! ❤️❤️
Thank You for saying Madewell is overpriced! I hear all the time in other videos, madewell is affordable! Will I spend a little coin for some nice jeans, heck yes. But 50 dollars for a thin see through shirt, pass!!!!
I wear a tall/long in jeans and most of the time I have to order them, stores just don’t have room to carry every size offered.
THE EDITING GAME IS STRONG 👏🏻👏🏻
THANK U SM 🥺❤️
Honestly, THANK YOU. Since I’ve started watching your videos, I went to the beach and to a spinning class, two things I would never have done before because of my weight. ❤️
@@jeannep.9472 that's amazing! I'm glad you're confidence is growing🥰
lil miss sunshine Thank you, it’s really nice of you 🥺 and yes, it is! 💓
@@jeannep.9472 it's really no problem, I just thought it would help you mentally/emotionally to know someone cares & is rooting for you😊 I love to help & we all deserve the absolute HIGHEST form of self love!💕💕💕
Midrise jeans are amazing... High rise forces my stomach to pop out and make look bigger
I would have bought the white pair and a bottle of black rit dye 😂
If you hate it so much you could just stop no ones forcing you plus you could make some other kind of video
As pricey as Madewell jeans may be, I have found them entirely worth it!! As long as you follow care instructions, they will last for so long! (Also, one of the only times I have had jean shopping experiences where I didn't feel defeated when I left the store, empty-handed or not).
If you are a Madewell Insider (free to sign up!!), you get $25 off any purchase during your birthday month. You can also bring in any brand of used jeans, and they will recycle them into eco-friendly insulation, and you'll receive $20 off a new pair of jeans. They also offer a 15% discount to students and teachers, as well having a pretty solid sale section in-store and online!!
Carrie you may not like this but i loved the mid-rise on you. So cute on you and like you said different. Will be going to Madewell today.
Buffy smith i completely agree they looked SO cute!
I love the voice-over! Same way I did my thrifting video because I'm so damn awkward talking to myself! PS. the button-up jeans were smoking but I get it
I loved the voiceover in this video, and those overalls were made for you!! You inspired me to post my first youtube video today
U are really darling😘😎 I commend ur embracing ur body n pushing toward normalcy! Everyone should be following this. Sending u a lot of love n know I got ur back, live the feed back on madewell just ordered a few things online from them
I'm literally wearing those overalls right now !! I love them a lot they're perfect. I got them on black friday so they weren't as pricey
Omg that black pair that you bought in the 11', I just got the exact same ones brand new at Plato's for $20!
What a deal! 🥰
Okay, LOVE the voice over!! The commentary is too funny when you don’t have to in-store sensor yourself! This is the Carrie we NEED in 2020!!
Hi Carrie! I work at Madewell and I CANNOT recommend the high rise skinny in carbondale wash enough! I've had mine for years and the black never fades. Also, I'm a true 28 everywhere but madewell. I always size down to a 27 because a lot of the denim stretches after a few wears. And a tip for madewell denim and jeans in general- neeeeeeever dry them because the dryer burns the elastane so once they stretch out, they won't go back! Also donate any full length denim from any store to get $20 off. I know it's pricey but the quality and ethical sourcing makes it so worth it!!!
Carrie! You need to try the mile high jeans from Levi’s!
Love these vids , I need to get over my self and purchase some jeans because I literally have 1 pair 😂 luv this vid 🖤
I tried on jeans at Madewell for the first time about a month ago and I was so frustrated at how inconsistent the sizing was! I definitely expected a better experience considering the price point.
Taylor E Sierra did a video & the sizing was alllllll over the place
The gap in the back: with a good size booty and a smaller waist this will always happen. IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT! If you 're able sew a few small darts in the waistband. with the jeans on, inside out, squeeze 2 equal size darts and pin them with safety pins. At this point: either take them to a dry cleaner that has tailoring OR sew them yourself. Using a pencil, draw along the line the pins form. Readjust the pins to hold it together but not get in the way of the sewing. Use a heavy duty thread and stitch along the line, do this at least twice. It may seem too bulky but if you then sew the edge of the dart down it's amazing how smooth it will be.
OH my god the white jeans look amazing on you😍 work it queen
I loved this video! I recently bought two pairs of madewell high rise and feel that they are 100% worth the investment because they stretch and hug my body and make me feel confident. 💛 I also was frustrated with size inconsistencies, so thank you for putting into words what I often feel in the dressing room!
I hardly ever leave comments on your videos, but when you bought those black jeans for $128 it hurt my soul! I don't think they fit you well enough to justify the price. Usually, if you have a gap in the back, it means the jeans aren't made with your measurements. For me, I always get a gap in the waist, except with curvy jeans because good curvy jeans are made for a bigger waist to hip ratio. Idk if that makes sense, but basically if the jeans fit your hips and thighs well, but not your waist, then that particular style just isn't going to work even if you size down. I think Madewell has a curvy line, maybe you could see if they have any in black and see if those fit you better. Also whenever I see jeans drop down in the back, I usually take that to mean that particular style wasn't designed for someone with a bigger butt in mind. I feel like a lot of higher-end stores aren't made with bigger people in mind, even if they do have bigger sizes. The overalls looked amazing on you though! I'm glad you got them!
Thank you for showing the side view! When I try on clothing, I always think it looks great from the front, then question it from the side. But I remember to tell myself that’s just how my body is, and that’s ok.
Also, the voiceover is great!
To help with the gap, “curvy” jeans are supposed to help with that! So stores that carry a line like that.
Loved the voiceover! I like real time talking too but with the voiceover we get more of your sass bc you don’t have to worry about nosey employees 😂
ahh I found those button front jeans at my goodwill outlet, they had a small tear in the inside thigh but I LOVE THEM. they are so comfy and Cuuuuute and what for maybe $2?? I hope you thrift some!😍
For a white jean, definitely go for a straight leg, slightly loose in the legs, so they don’t show all your stuff 😅 speaking from experience
Stradivarius also does “super high waist” jeans (highest waist I’ve ever tried) plus they’re cheap too! Idk how big their sizes go tho
For the gap in the back of your jeans, when you’re paying that much money for jeans, go to a seamstress and they will take the gap in in the back for cheap. It’s like $15! I have to do that all the time!
The Sober Poet it’s free to alter madewell jeans if you go through them
I like the voice overs better! Good move!
I've got those stretch marks too girl❤
Can I say how much I love that you unapologetically put yourself out there and just are you 🙌🏻🙌🏻 ❤️ it’s everything. Hoping to create that vibe on my channel someday soon. Still SUPER awkward filming in public 😂😂 so huge respect. And girl 100% keep the voiceovers, just as fun to watch and helps you avoid awkward stares. Lol
Omg, no stretch???!! YES!! I flipping hate that I can only find jeggings. And I cannot wear high rise at all. They roll down and bag at the crotch because I am low waisted.
you filming in public is a feat in itself, it would be so difficult for me to do that lol! i recommend trying the abercrombie curve love line, there is less of a waist gap, which i saw you struggled with on the first madewell jeans. :) btw love madewell jeans so much, i have a video reviewing them on my channel too!
Those overalls looked amazing one you!! Its so great to see you loving what you wear. what a queen ❤️
The only jeans I’ve found that don’t gap in the back are the American eagle curvy high waist jeans 👖
Mid rise is my fave bc I don’t have a very long torso so they fit me high waisted
Ok, one more comment,... you are AMAZING! Your ability to try your jeans on camera is nothing less than STELLAR! You are absolutely gorgeous and a tribute to women. Kudos to you doll!
You look beautiful in this video! You always do, but in this video you are 🔥
Carrie! I have the jeans with the buttons on the front and I got them on sale for $40!!! So I would just suggest to wait a little and get them on sale. Those are the most amazing jeans but I would say that they do stretch out after a wash and wear, but they are SO COMFY.
Thanks for the video and all the positive attitude towards your body. You have definitely helped with on my body confidence journey! Love you!
So happy you were able to find some nice things Carrie! After watching your video I’m now Thinking of trying out what they have, if they have petite lengths that is 😅☺️
Carrie, here are my thoughts on why a store carries their extended sizes online vs in store; Cost more to ship (more fabric), take up more room to display, and maybe don't display as attractively. Both of those are practical reasons, as is that a plus size gal may not be as comfortable shopping in store.
I used to work at Madewell, and when our customers have the gap in the back, we always encouraged them to try a size down. It may feel like it won’t work, but almost always after a couple minutes the smaller size felt perfect. They will stretch out 1/2 a size, so if possible get the ones that fit your waist!
"I'm not sure why people love these, I'm not sure who hurt you"
*tries them on*
Wait...🤔
DO I LOVE THESE?!?😍
literally cannot relate more.
Great video Carrie please more of this ! I don’t mind the voiceovers at all. This is perfect ❤️
Thank you so much 🥺❤️❤️❤️
Gotta say i really epriciated you mentioning your strech marks! still something i'm trying to get more comfortable about with my own body...and BTW if the skirt was the right size it would look amazing on you!
The button fly jeans are amazing. I own them in a 31, got them at Plato’s closet for $15. Currently they’re all over Poshmark and Mercari cause they went major sale online over the holidays.
hey girl, love the video! I actually work for madewell and I really think you should try sizing down and maybe starting at 29/30/31 in jeans or maybe even try the curvy line. Our jeans are meant to fit snug because they will give! So many of my customers, including myself have made that mistake in not going down sizes because we think "there's no way I can fit into that" but really you'd be surprised! Hopefully this will help next time you're looking into purchasing a new pair :)
Madewell is nice because they have great size range and the quality is nice BUT its just too expensive. They're product starts to fall into the same price range as designer like Joe Jeans, paige etc.
TW: Body Image; Comparing; Anxiety
Okay, but can I say I SOOOOO appreciate you showing the stretch marks! I have struggled my whole life with body image and I love watching fashion TH-cam, but so much of it is skinny women! Just to be clear, there is NOTHING wrong with being skinny. All bodies are beautiful bodies! The problem comes when that is all that is represented, so I spent years trying on the same things these girls were trying on, and it not looking good on me and me thinking the problem was with ME when really, clothes look different on different body types, and I needed to stop trying to make the same fashion work for my taste! So then I started watching mid-sized TH-camrs (as I am a mid-sized gal!) like you and Sierra and Susie as well, which has helped a lot! BUT even so, my mind still likes to be nasty sometimes and go "you guys have similar bodies, but they still look gorgeous and you don't!". But I often forget, we don't always see the parts people are insecure about. Some of the things that I worry make me "ugly" include my stretch marks and my cellulite. And I know it was such a small moment that really didn't need to be a big deal, but when you showed your stretch marks I actually started crying. Because then my mind went "if she's that gorgeous WITH and NOT IN SPITE OF her stretch marks, you can be too". And I know just in general I need to stop comparing myself to other people, but until then I just wanted to let you know how much that meant to me. Sorry this comment is so long! And feel free to delete if anything comes off as offensive or inappropriate.
