Gothic Lace Jeans
It is real lace let into the seam, not a print of lace. Black on black, so it only shows when the light hits it — which is exactly what I wanted.

Yes. Each pair is cut and sewn after you order it: the panel is cut to shape, the side seam is opened, the panel is set in and the seam is closed around it, then the embroidery goes on. That is why it takes a few days before anything ships, and why the seam line is never in exactly the same place twice. It is one person at a machine, not a press.
-
Yes — 30 days from the day it lands on your doorstep. If the size is off, the wash is not the blue you pictured, or anything else is wrong, write to us and we will sort it out with a replacement or your money back. You do not owe us an explanation.

A little, and that is deliberate — it is open floral lace, so light passes through the cut-outs and you get a faint shadow behind it. It is black on black, so from a few steps away it reads as texture rather than as a see-through panel. If you would rather it did not, wear it over a black tight and it disappears entirely.
-
Yes — the panel is sewn in and the pattern on it is thread, not a transfer sitting on top, so there is nothing to crack or peel. Wash cold and inside out, hang them to dry, and the panel comes through it fine. A hot wash and a tumble dryer will shrink the denim around the seam and pucker the panel, which is the one thing that genuinely spoils them.

Sizes run XS to XL and they come up true, with one thing worth knowing: the waist is cut high and fitted, so go by your waist measurement rather than by the dress size on the label. The table below gives a waist and a hip range in inches for every size. If you are between two, take the larger — the denim gives at the hip within a day. The inseam is 33 inches, long on purpose so the flare still reaches with a heel under it.

Every piece is made to order, so there are a few days in production first, then 5–7 business days in transit. The moment the parcel leaves, your tracking number lands in your inbox and you can follow it the whole way.
Size guide

Go by your waist measurement, not the dress size on the label — the rise sits low on the hip. Between two sizes, take the larger; the denim gives at the hip within a day. Inseam is 33".
The panel
Lace.
Knee to hem.
Down the outside of each leg, from the hip right to the hem, runs a long tapered panel of black open floral lace embroidered with large open flowers, curling scrollwork and black satin bows. It is a real inset: the side seam is opened and the panel is sewn into it, so it moves with the leg instead of flapping, and the scalloped edge is stitched down all the way round.
The rise sits low on the hip and the leg stays close through the thigh, then opens from just below the knee into a long wide bell. The flare is not cut out of the denim: four triangular panels are sewn into the seams from the knee down, and it is those that open it, so the width of the bell is the decorated fabric itself. The inseam is 33 inches, long on purpose, so it still reaches with a heel under it. Sizes XS to XL.

The difference
You already own
the same jeans
as everyone else.
They are fine. They fit, they are the right blue, they do the job. They are also the exact same pair that came off the same line into every shop in the country, and the only thing you chose about them was the size.
That is not a cheap-jeans problem. That is what mass production is for. A factory that cuts forty thousand pairs cannot stop and set a panel into one side seam by hand — whether the pair costs forty dollars or four hundred.
These are built the other way round. Nothing is cut until you order. The side seam is opened and a panel of black open floral lace is set into it by hand, from the hip all the way to the hem, where it is actually seen — not a small print on a back pocket nobody looks at.

Blacker than every other pair I own
A true black with no grey wash to it, which is almost impossible to find. The lace is sewn into the seam and the scalloped edge is stitched down all the way round - no glue, no fraying. I am a 27 waist and the S fits exactly.

Wore them to a gig and did not stop getting asked
Under the lights the lace cut-outs show and in daylight they just read as a black stripe down the leg, so they work for both. The flare clears a platform boot without riding up behind the calf, which was the whole reason I ordered them.

Washed cold three times, still dead black
No fading at all and the lace has not snagged on anything, which I expected it to. One honest note: the 33 inch inseam is long on me and I need a heel under them or they drag. With boots they are perfect. I am 5'3" and would order the same size again.
