MOTHER
Founded in 2010 by premium-denim industry pros Lela Becker and Tim Kaeding, MOTHER specializes in collections that present a juxtaposition of hard and soft. The brand evokes teenage rebellion, unconditional love and hilarious insult all at the same time (the company's name is a play on the duality of the word "mother," which can be nurturing or a cuss).

way too small in waist
The color and the material are wonderful and I do like the way the legs are tighter then flare out. I am 5 foot and weigh 145 pounds and usually wear a size 30 to 31 waist. In a local store, I tried on a different style of the lil mother and the size 30 was perfect. I know it can make a difference if it is high waisted versus lower waist, however, I thought that I did ORDER correctly. I would say that it is at least two sizes too small the zipper wouldn’t even zip up at all, and I actually thought that they were too short, which is usually never the case when I put a pair of jeans on.
The photos are not very good but at least shows how small they are.
I am ordering another size and I am hoping that they will be just perfect. I do love the fact that with Nordstrom‘s you can return so easily.

fantastic color and fit
I’ve been on the lookout for light colored jeans and this pair doesn’t disappoint! I usually wear a size 6/8, and I feel the 31 fits well. It stretches out some, but not a huge amount. As for the length, with flip flops, the length is perfect. With platform sneakers, they are a little short, but I like them enough to keep them. The denim is soft and cozy. I think they’ll soon become a favorite, especially in warmer months.
