there's no place for a full length mirror in the house so i often take a self-timed photo to see how i look in new clothes or outfits that i haven't worn in a while. it sure saves asking "does this make me look fat?" when i can easily answer that question affirmatively for myself in private and in only ten seconds.
today's "selfie" was to check the length of new jeans. they are the "short" length of the brand that i have always needed to wear and, before i put them on, they got the usual treatment for shrinkage - hot water washing and high temperature drying. but, for the first time ever, they clearly did not shrink enough. i will repeat the process again - and again if necessary - but i truly wonder if the shrinkage may be on my part and is not the fault of the pants.

I share your sentiment. I can never take a satisfactory selfie, so I've quit trying.
I do not think they will continue to shrink after the second washing and you may need to role them up, but I have seen that as "in fashion" lately,
Look perfect to me! Says a fellow short pants wearer.
Hahaha!!! I can tell you this - I have shrunk one and a half inches over the past few years! However, I think you are a little young to be shrinking just yet!!
Linda, sadly I'm not too young - and I've shrunk about an inch according to my last physical. As if I'm not short enough already....
I know, Chris! Am I getting shorter or are all my grand kids unusually tall?
