petite girl version of the twist
As a petite woman, I had been eyeing the "lil lemon twist" since they were released. However, when I finally pulled the trigger and got them, they were just too high waisted and too much material for my frame. Sadly I returned them and figured I'd live without the look...until I saw these! I have long been a fan of the Mother Bookie jeans and have 3 pairs in other washes, so I didn't hesitate to try these. At 5'2 and just shy of 100lbs, I'm between a 23 and 24 in this cut so I grabbed both to see which worked best and I'm keeping the 23's. If you're between sizes and going for more a a loose fit, I'd go with your larger size. I did not want these to be baggy. The 23's are still a tiny bit loose in the hips, legs and thighs. Also, keep in mind these are a rigid denim with no stretch, but they do give over time with wear. I am short waisted and the rise on me is just below my belly button, which I find comfortable. For a short girl, I have pretty long legs and they are long enough to wear with a low heel but will still work with flats and sneakers. As another review states, I'd say they are closer to a 30 inch inseam on the size 23 rather than the advertised 31 inch. Hope this helps! I'm thrilled to have added these to my Mother denim!

Bookie Twist Seam
These were low rise which is a dealbreaker for me. I measured a 9” rise. Also the inseam was actually 30”, not 31”—which I prefer. Returned.
