I've finally sold my girlfriend on raw denim now the only hard part is finding some that will fit her.

She is 4'10
95 pounds.

She wears a 24 in regular jeans.

Any tips on brands, cuts, etc.

I know Self Edge has a few different brands that make women's cuts:

I'd look around on the site, I think there are a few I missed, but that's a good start.

Off the top of my head, I know Pure Blue Japan and Naked and Famous both make women's raw jeans.

I convinced my ex (when we were still together...) to try out raw denim, and she got these: http://blueingreensoho.com/site/inde...mart&Itemid=28 They're (obviously) not selvedge, but they have some crazy stretch to them and they were fading really well when we broke up. haha Edit: I just saw they only go down to 27, which is weird, because she wore a 00/had a 25 inch waist.

If you're close to a Self Edge store consider visiting the store. My lady started with Nudies but now wears Sling and Stones and 3sixteen as well. She's never tried APCs, though.

Most women's selvage jeans sit low on the hips, which is why the sizing doesn't go down as far as you'd expect. From my experience, a girl with a 25" waist would likely wear a pair of jeans with a 28" or 29" waist measurement because they sit so low on her hips. Two brands that I haven't seen mentioned in this thread yet that make an excellent raw ladies jean are Studio D'Artisan (http://blueingreensoho.com/site/inde...mart&Itemid=28) and Rising Sun & Co. Don't have pictures or a link to the Rising Suns, but they've got some nice details, like using vintage kimono cloth to line the waistband, and the cuts are great for slim women. In case it matters to you, the SDAs are selvage, the Rising Suns are not. I can also second the recommendation of the Samurai Geishas. My wife has a pair of those, and I can attest that they are really nice.

If that question is directed at me, it's because I've bought way too much denim for my own good over the years. Also, I've been dragged along by my wife to help her and a bunch of her friends pick out jeans for themselves on more than one occasion.
