Crochita,
"...Then the sun goes in and you're feeling chilly. You rummage in your bag and pull out a jeans leg and reattach. Oh no! Where is the other leg?! It must have fallen out of your bag or perhaps you were prey to an insidious pick pocket?"
Loved the image you paint!
"You unzip the legs of the jeans and off you go..."
Precisely. The normal, quite handy method.
The theory's sound; this execution's so laughable, I agree.
These jean legs are only 'attached' by what looks like a fabric loop over a single button (or press stud method?), right on the mid-outside crotch area and an outer thigh side button/ press stud.
That ruddy great gap everywhere, though!!!
I suppose that's high-end fashion to a T, and supposedly the appeal of these...er...masterpieces : to render them über-exclusive for only a tiny demographic of nuts seriously confident, lithe, under 25 yr olds, prepared to shell out for the privilege.
But suppose the idea's ripped off by high st. stores, made widely available to everyone, and we're treated to even worse visions of loveliness the whole summer...Jeez. The mind boggles.
Tiger,
Can strongly recommend (free) Adblock Plus.
Learnt that lesson after M&S Pink Dress invaded my nightmares, too.
