Thimbler

Ekaterina Sedia, over at Fish Monkey’s Writing Stuff: Fiction. Fashion. Foolishness, is our first fashion blogger to review our jeans, and the Thimbler shopping experience! Kathy tried our dark denim, straight leg jeans. She says:

The interface was quite user-friendly – you select your style and wash (I went with straight leg, dark wash) and then head over to the customization page. You enter some measurements (waist, hip, thigh, inseam/outseam) into provided boxes. Bonus: when you click on each box, it tells you how and where to measure, without a need for separate instructions page. I loved this little feature. After the measurements, you get to select fit – such as your hip shape (apple, pear, straight, hourglass), belly shape (flat, rounded, etc) and butt shape (flat, average… you get the idea). They also have little pictures for every descriptor, so selecting the right one is easy. Very well thought-out system, allegedly based on scans of 10,000 actual bodies. Yay technology!

Our free jeans for bloggers contest has been turning out to be great for me! I’m so lucky that my work has led me to all of these awesome blogs by strong, successful, funny, beautiful women. I’ve added more amazing blogs to our blogroll here and to my own feed reader.

We’re pleased to invite another bunch of talented, outspoken ladies. This new group includes Deena of Fat Girls Like Nice Clothes Too and Colleen of Pretty Pear!  Novelist Ekaterina Sedia, Patricia Lupien of the indie webcomic Swiftriver, and Jennifer Barreto-Leyva, who is Miss Plump Venezuela by day and a lawyer by night (or is the other way around?), will all be sharing their thoughts as well. I’m lucky to be working with so many awesome women!

Now, off to read more blogs, I mean, back to working hard!
