    She's doing a DIY. A thigh gap is only natural if you're naturally skinny or extremely fit I am really fit and don't even have one. In fact I leg press about 550 now and my muscles touch... I will never have one due to big muscles. YOU ALL ARE FREAKING BEAUTIFUL and please realize you will never look like a magazine or a movie because it is freaking fake. BE REAL. BE YOU. LOVE YOU. AND LOVE YOUR BODY. You only get one, don't hate the one thing that gives you the chance to live and breathe in this world. Love it and improve it. But never hate it.

    to those still nervous, hit the thrift stores. :D you can get ugly pants that make great shorts.

  • @simpleDIYs
    @simpleDIYs  Před 11 lety

    I'm fairly certain that the cuffed shorts would also work with jeggings. If you decide to make the non-cuffed version, I might allow a little more length than you think you'll need just because they stretch so much more than normal jeans, but it should work.

  • @colorfulcrayon57

    Everyone talking about how lucky people are for thigh gaps.
    You all are lucky you can wear shorts to school!
    My arms are so long that for my shorts to be finger length would go about 3 or 4 inches above my knee :\

    Omg I needed this tutorial so much sooner! What would you recommend making the marks with on white shorts? I don't want to stain them with anything dark but I know I won't be able to see white marks :/

  • @simpleDIYs
    @simpleDIYs  Před 11 lety

    Which pair? The ones that I cuffed do not fray because the part of the jeans that I cut isn't exposed. If you start to fray the cut-off pair, they will fray slightly every time you wash them (which enhances the look, in my opinion).

  • @sammyscott5455
