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).

best fitting jeans for petites
Finding pants or jeans have been so hard. I am 5’1” with a super short torso. Cannot wear high rise which ends up at my bra line. Midrise ends up being high rise. These jeans fit me like a dream and I don’t need to hem them. I sized down to a size that was snug, since these are stretchy and conform to your body. Very happy that Mother has made petite sizing for people like me. I would say these are one of my best fitting jeans. Thanks!

I was very disappointed.
I love the jeans but they are too big. After spending that much money I would have liked for them to fit. I did try them on before leaving the store and they seemed a little loose but I expected them to shrink a little bit. I have washed them several times and when I first put them on they feel like they fit. After about 30 minutes of having them on they just stretch out and are very loose. I am usually at least a 27 or a size 4. The jeans I purchased were a 26 or size 2. Now that I have washed them I can’t return them and it makes me sad because I love the jeans. I just wish they fit me.

perfect petite proportions
These Lil’ Mother jeans are amazing! I’m so glad someone knew that petite doesn’t mean just shorter length. Petite size is shorter proportions in the rise as well and these are perfect!! I hope all the makers of clothes catches on!

Perfect petite flare!
Every time I put these jeans on I get more excited about them. At 5' 2" 120 lbs with short legs and longer torso, finding flattering full-length denim that doesn't need to be tailored is a challenge. The Lil' Weekend Flare in 26P is perfection. The waist doesn't gap which is an issue for me in other brands and the knee break hits me in the right spot. The flare is just right to look intentional without being overwhelming. I own several pairs of the Mother Hustler crops and love those as well. The sizing seems fairly consistent between these and the Hustler. The medium light wash is nice for spring and goes with everything. Amazingly, I can wear sneakers with these and they just don't graze the floor! Moderate heels work too for my height. Love!!

Finally perfect jeans that are NOT HIGHRISE
I cannot wear high rise jeans and most companies are only making them. These jeans are a perfect low rise fit! The 28P are a perfect fit.

Great everyday jean
I’m slightly under 5’4 and the petite are a tad long for flats. I’m 123 and bought the 27. Fit is tts could wear a 26 if wanted a tighter fit. A bit of stretch but not as much as the Paige. These have quickly become my fav. I recently decided to update jeans with something other than my Costco bargain glad I did. Dress up with a baller or throw on a t-shirt.
