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).

perfect straight leg
These are so good! I don’t feel like the picture do them justice. They aren’t too wide leg and aren’t too fitted but OMG SO flattering in all the right places! I’m 5’1 and the length is perfect with a little heal. It is always a plus when I don’t have to get jeans hemmed. These are the perfect going out/ dressier jeans for us petite girls. In Mother jeans I am usually a 23 or 24. I ordered a 24 and they fit perfectly!

I love these!
I’d been searching for a pair of straight leg jeans that weren’t too wide nor too fitted in the leg - these are just perfect! I’m about 5’3 and a half with longer legs so I don’t typically shop in the petites section, but these are a great length and just slightly hover over the ground with flat shoes. If you’re more of a “true” petite these may be a bit long for you. They’re stretchy but still have that genuine denim look and the wash is even better in person. Extra comfy because they’re a true mid rise too! I usually wear a 27 in the non petite Mother denim but sized up to a 28 in these and they’re just right.

BOMB!! Buy them!
Love these! They run a little small for me. I’m a true 26P but needed a 27P. I’m 5’3 and the length is perf! Great pair of straight legs. The wash is so nice and being petite it’s not the easiest to find good jeans without needing to alter. Buy them! You won’t be disappointed

New favorite denim!
Giving them 4 stars because they’re not as petite friendly as I would hope but I still love them! Denim quality is excellent, soft, comfortable but sturdy. Did shrink a little which Im glad they did, i prefer a more snug fit. Purchased size 23 petite. Waist fit is great but length was still too long and needed them hemmed, I’m 4’10 and 92 lbs. Definitely recommend!
