Reseller tips

  • Jeans sizes refer to the waist measurement in inches — not the dress size.
  • High-rise bottoms may feel tighter at the waist even in the correct size.
  • Vintage and designer denim often run 1–2 sizes smaller than modern fast fashion.
  • Always mention the rise (low / mid / high) when listing bottoms.
