New from Rag & Bone

songbird — Wed, 04 Sep 2019 17:41:54 GMT

Love this cigarette jean 10" rise 27" inseam 14" leg opening. So it's a tad looser then your average cigarette. Model is 5'`10" so you an estimate of inseam on you. Color Arrowmill. Waist size 31" is sold out. Jean goes up 32" waist.

low rise slim boyfriend color Mangus 8 1/2" rise 28" inseam 12" leg opening.

Confettie dress. I like this one. 96% cotton Says it's machine wash, but you have to turn side out and lay flat to dry.

Not affordable. Jeans and dresses average $200.00 and up. Rag & bone is expensive. Store & Factory are in Soho, New York.

I think I can wear it. I don't have love handle But at $275.00 is too expensive. I normally wait for sales, but it will take a long, long time. Plus it will never go for under $180.00. they import too. Rag & Bone used to brag they would use Japanese denim (supposedly the best denim in the world) They've since moved on the Turkish denim. The actual jean is sewn together here along with the hardware. So tariffs are not that much of a problem. The only cotton they use is Pima and Supima (another kind of high end cotton) That costs more then Pima. Good manufacturers use high grade cotton, not cotton mixed with synthetic fibers. Cheap clothing is made from that. Legally they can still say 100% cotton.

Met my husband wearing a dress just like that ... in red ... w/ a few buttons undone. Of course I was in my 20's and felt powerful.

Still feel powerful. Dress still fits .. just differently. As in, just because you can, doesn't mean you should. I pull it out every once in awhile and model it for my hubby. He loves that dress. cha cha cha.

Of course, if the model had larger legs then the jean would fit more like a "regular" cigarette jean.

Love the dress. I'd totally wear that.

Rag & Bone has a cute name but their prices are far from cute -- in fact, they are high.

Agree -- which is why I've always referred to this company as Rags on Bones. (And they're overpriced rags, at that.)

It would be nice to voice your opinion without the derogatory labels. After all, can you imagine if someone posted the same way about clothing for heavy women?

My spouse is a pip...he thinks I look good in most things I wear and tells me so. I am a lucky girl. On top of that, he set the example for our two sons and they hand out compliments to their wives.

I think the dress is lovely and I would like to see it in other colors, navy, red for example! I wish I had the figure to wear it !

@suzyQ3 Seriously? On a fashion site, you choose to take offense at a play on words about the name of an apparel company that makes overpriced, shapeless clothing? (By the way -- I'm smaller than the model in the ads.)

I like both pieces. I like a slim leg jean that’s not super skinny. The dress seems classic to me. I I would definitely need a tank under that deep v-neck. I have never bought the brand.

Yes, @vsm . And I would have commented exactly same if the play on words involved a negative reference to those who are overweight.

BTW, I've been here a long time, and I am very familiar with the ease in which some make fun of those whom they think are too thin.
