BiBi Distressed Vintage Washed Wide Leg Pants | VINTAGE LAVENDER / XL 100100080994602

How to measure

Use a soft measuring tape. For garment measurements, lay the pants flat on a smooth surface, fasten the button/zipper and smooth out wrinkles without stretching. For body measurements, stand relaxed, measure over light clothing or underwear. Record measurements to the nearest 0.5 cm (1/4 in).

Garment (laid flat) — measure and then multiply by 2 for circumference where noted

• Waist (flat): Measure straight across the top of the waistband from edge to edge. Multiply by 2 for waist circumference.
• Hips: Measure across the fullest part of the seat (typically 18–23 cm / 7–9 in below the waistband). Multiply by 2 for hip circumference.
• Front rise: Measure from the crotch seam to the top of the front waistband along the center front.
• Back rise: Measure from the crotch seam to the top of the back waistband along the center back.
• Inseam: Measure from the crotch seam down the inside leg to the hem.
• Outseam: Measure from the top of the waistband down the outer side seam to the hem.
• Thigh: Measure across the leg 5 cm (2 in) below the crotch seam from edge to edge. Multiply by 2 for circumference.
• Knee: Measure across the knee point (about mid-thigh down) edge to edge. Multiply by 2.
• Hem / Leg opening: Measure across the bottom hem edge to edge. Multiply by 2 for opening circumference.
• Tip: If measuring a distressing or cut-out detail, note its position and tolerance (e.g., 1–2 cm variations) so customers know where wear/distressing is located.

Body measurements — how the customer should measure

• Waist: Measure at the natural waist (narrowest point). Keep tape comfortably snug but not tight.
• Hips: Measure around the fullest part of the hips/buttocks with feet together.
• Inseam: Measure from the crotch to the ankle/desired hem while standing with shoes similar to those you will wear.
• Rise preference: If you prefer a higher or lower waist placement, note this when comparing to the garment's rise measurements.
• Fit tip: Compare body measurements to garment measurements. For wide-leg pants allow extra hip ease depending on desired silhouette (relaxed or oversized). When between sizes, choose based on waist and hip fit or consider tailoring the waist if needed.

Materials

Exact composition varies by production batch—always check the product label for the definitive fiber content. Typical materials and features for "vintage washed wide leg" pants are below:

• Main fabric: Often midweight cotton denim or cotton twill. Common blends: 100% cotton (classic denim feel) or cotton with a small percentage (1–3%) of elastane for slight stretch and comfort.
• Finish: Vintage wash and distressing (sanding, enzyme washes, or hand abrasion) create faded color, softened hand-feel, and intentional worn spots. This also produces natural variation piece-to-piece.
• Hardware: Metal button and zipper, rivets at stress points. Hardware may oxidize slightly over time—normal for vintage finishes.
• Structure: Unlined; seams and distressing edges may show raw fibers. Distressed areas can be more delicate and require gentler care.
• What it means for the customer: Expect slight color transfer when new, progressive softening and additional fade with wear/wash, and small variations between items due to the vintage wash process.

Note: Replace the generic list above with the product’s exact fiber percentages and care symbols from the sewn-in label when you publish.

Model information

If available, list the model’s measurements so customers can judge fit. Key details to show:

• Height (cm/in)
• Bust / Waist / Hips (cm/in)
• Usual size worn off-the-rack
• Size shown in product photos (e.g., "Wearing size S")
• Shoe/heel height if the hem position is shown with heels
• Fit note: whether the item runs true to size, small, or oversized, and how the style is intended to sit (high-rise, mid-rise, ankle-length, floor-length, etc.).

Example (replace with actual model data): Model height 175 cm (5'9"), Bust 82 cm (32"), Waist 61 cm (24"), Hips 89 cm (35") — wearing size S. On her, the hem falls to the top of the foot when wearing 6–7 cm heels.

Care Guide (to keep it lovely longer)

Distressed vintage washes look best with gentle care. Follow the garment label first; below are best-practice recommendations:

• First wash: Wash separately or with similar colors — dye may transfer. Consider a cold gentle cycle or hand wash for the first wash to reduce fading and bleeding.
• Turn inside out: Always turn pants inside out before washing to protect color and distressing.
• Water temperature: Cold or cool water (30°C / 86°F) preserves color and fabric integrity.
• Detergent: Use mild, color-safe detergent. Avoid bleach and strong whitening agents.
• Machine washing: Use a gentle cycle. Place in a mesh laundry bag if you want extra protection for distressed edges and hardware.
• Drying: Line dry or lay flat to dry. Avoid high-heat tumble drying (which can shrink and stress fabric and distressing). If tumble drying is necessary, use low heat and remove promptly.
• Ironing: Iron inside out on medium heat. Do not iron directly over distressed holes or metal hardware.
• Spot cleaning: For small stains, spot clean promptly with a gentle detergent and cool water to avoid full washes.
• Repairs: Reinforce or hand-stitch areas that begin to enlarge if you want to preserve a controlled distressed look. For visible repairs, patch from the inside to keep the vintage look intact.
• Storage: Fold to avoid stretching the waistband; store away from direct sunlight to reduce fading.
• Dry clean: If the garment label allows, dry cleaning can be used for intensive cleaning without risking color loss from home washing; consult a trusted cleaner for distressed finishes.
• General tip: Avoid over-washing — airing out between wears and spot-cleaning extends the fabric and color life.

Style Tips

Wide leg vintage-washed pants are versatile. Use these styling ideas to showcase the silhouette and vintage character.

• Balance proportions: Pair the wide leg with a fitted or cropped top to define the waist and keep the silhouette balanced.
• Tuck & belt: Tucking in a tee or button-down and adding a statement belt emphasizes the waist and complements the wide leg.
• Shoes:
  • Heels or wedges lengthen the leg and showcase floor-skimming styles.
  • Sneakers or flat sandals create casual, everyday looks (choose slimmer-profile sneakers for a cleaner line).
  • Ankle boots work well in cooler months; consider a slight heel to avoid bunching at the hem.
• Layering: Cropped jackets, fitted blazers or shorter cardigans work beautifully. For a relaxed look, an oversized shirt or shacket worn tucked at the front keeps things modern.
• Fabric & color pairing: Vintage-washed denim pairs with neutrals (white, black, beige), earth tones (khaki, olive, rust), or saturated jewel tones for contrast.
• Day-to-night: Day: white tee + canvas sneakers + crossbody. Night: silk or satin blouse + heeled mules + bold earring.
• Accentuate the vintage vibe: Add worn leather boots, a simple gold necklace, and round sunglasses. A slightly cuffed hem or raw-hem tailoring keeps the lived-in look.
• Tailoring: If length or waist requires adjustment, tailor rather than cutting raw—this preserves the original proportions and distressing placement.
