Styling Womens Extremely Short Shorts: Cute Outfit Ideas.

Okay, here’s my blog post about my “womens extremely short shorts” experiment:

So, the other day I decided to tackle a little project: making some really short shorts. I’m talking Daisy Dukes territory, people. I’ve always been a bit crafty, and I figured, why not? It’s summer, and I was feeling bold.

Getting Started

First, I needed some old jeans. Nothing fancy, just a pair I didn’t wear much anymore. I found a light-wash pair in the back of my closet that were perfect – a little faded, a little worn, just begging for a transformation.

Grabbed my scissors – the big, fabric-cutting ones, not the kitchen scissors!
Laid the jeans out flat on my work table.
Took a deep breath. This was the point of no return!

I started by cutting one leg, trying to make it as even as possible. I eyeballed it at first – big mistake! It was way too uneven. So, I grabbed a ruler and a fabric marker and drew a line across both legs, making sure they were the same length. I wanted them short, but not too scandalous.

Cut the legs again along the marked, I made * I try to make it more even, cause it looked wonky.

The Fraying Process

Now for the fun part: fraying! I didn’t want them to look freshly cut, so I needed to distress the edges. There are a few ways to do this:

Used my fingers to pull out some of the loose threads. This takes a while, but it’s kind of therapeutic.
Rubbed the edges with a piece of sandpaper. This gives a more worn-in look.
Tossed them in the washing machine and dryer. This is the easiest way, but it’s also the least controlled.

I opted for a combination of all three. I pulled some threads, used sandpaper in a few spots, and then threw them in the wash. The washing machine really did the trick – they came out looking perfectly frayed, like I’d owned them for years.
