My teen niece (who lives with me) and my DGD loves the Miss Me jeans and these jeans are horribly made, have the long thick thread stitching, a lot of big plastic crystals and metallic thread are used on the jeans as embellishments. The denim isn't really denim, but the thin 'stretch' fabric that looks like denim. No use explaining the quality for what you pay for to teen girls about clothes, that's a lost cause. Wet Seal and Rue 21 (teen stores) all have the jeans now with the big thick stitching. I didn't think anything about it until I heard the report.
