A fashion fix fit for flats

A fashion fix fit for flats
I have jeans for flats and jeans for heels, but every now and then, a denim emergency does occur. Like, the flat-length jeans are dirty and I need to get the kids from school right now and I'm sure as heck not putting on heels for the carpool lane.

Bristols 6 brings a little envelope of awesome to the solution: Their Hem Tape comes in sheets of pre-cut, double-sided sticky strips you can just lift, stick, and like magic, your too-long jeans are suddenly "hemmed" in a flash--no needles or iron required. It's not a permanent solution (don't put the tape through the wash!), but it does hold even heavy denim securely, and sure beats rolling your pants up in a pinch.

I also happen to know it works with stubborn tweens bemoaning the geekitude of turning up their dragging hems, too. Thank goodness. -Mir
