Not if done by professionals anyway. At some point you need to move everything to the live site because that is an entirely different database and you're not going to do it last minute. Your live site is pretty much on quarantine at some point until everything is entirely rechecked by your QA department on the live environment which can take hours. Assuming you pass QA without issues on the live site (never happens), you can launch. They are also launching on a Monday which complicates things because people are working on the weekend. I can't count the amount of web launches and relaunches I've done and it's always like this. If you're talking people being able to make purchases, there's even more QA involved. It can be an utter nightmare and you can't have pages half loading, not loading, loading with weird data, etc. You just throw up a Be back soon sign until you can open the doors. Small point, but that was Kylie with the lip kit and Khloe with the jeans. The Kardashians are very busy women. :) Thank you for your input. I'm aware of the whole QA process for website launching, but on the other hand, I was never working in e-commerce, so I admit that's where my gap in knowledge is. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/16908-bethenny-frankel-skinny-girl/page/161/#findComment-4655550

Are they sewing certain things in that don't look right? They also control the exact type of model they're using - straight or plus size, they are controlling the overall shape of each girl. Can't wait to see some regular Janes in the jeans - we did some try ons with Khloe's original launch and there were all sorts of issues.

Yeah, my time with QA was back when I was working with online training materials, so I remember the developers being stressed if we found some hiccup on the test server that they couldn't immediately replicate. Because we worked with training materials, I was only used to already launched courses staying up on the live server even while updated courses were being worked on.

Yes, I always fight the gap at the back and Madewell has a lot of styles that don’t do that. I do tailor my jeans because I can sew and fit and I’m very high maintenance. And that gap at the waist is not a simple fit change. So I’ll try on SG. I’m guessing from the models that they are a long waisted cut so might be a no go regardless of the style. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/16908-bethenny-frankel-skinny-girl/page/161/#findComment-4655919

Otherkate September 8, 2018 Share September 8, 2018 If you take a quick look at Shopbop, the whisking at the crotch area is pretty prevalent both for skinnies and mom jeans -- definitely more so for the skinnies and jeggings. J brand, Paige, CoH, AG all have it. I have stretchy skinnies and more high waisted loose jeans/mom jeans. What I choose depends upon the rest of my outfit + shoes and what best balances the frame.

Why is Beth dressed like Blanche Devereaux here? 7 hours ago, SweetieDarling said: Are they supposed to bunch in the hip/crotch area like that? Are they jeans or jeggings? Maybe Lu should ask Beth if they can still retouch this photo. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/16908-bethenny-frankel-skinny-girl/page/161/#findComment-4657187

J brand, Paige, CoH, AG all have it. I have stretchy skinnies and more high waisted loose jeans/mom jeans. What I choose depends upon the rest of my outfit + shoes and what best balances the frame. Seems to be fairly typical of women my age in NYC and the younger editors. That said, I don't do bedazzled. Well, she’s all about branding and consistency, right? TrueRenewal. TruRenewal. TrooRenewal. Tsk, tsk, Ramona. Beth and Skinny Girl have become synonymous with clever and original “vagina this” and “vagina that” jokes. So it makes good business sense to promote jeans with whisking that pulls focus to the vagina area.

Just sayin. I would put Nordstrom into higher end. It's on par with Saks at the very least in my neck of the woods. I don't picture Beth's jeans in Target or Walmart because of the price point. Same with Kohl's. So I don't know who her target is as this point. I have a feeling that the product is going to end up at Marshalls and TJ Maxx. Brilliant. Ramona can buy up all the unsold SG clothing and sell it for pennies on the dollar. Wouldn't that be a bitter pill to swallow for Bet Hasn't it been reported that Sonja has dabbled in resale for her collection? That could be another outlet. I'll take a look on Amazon or 6pm in the near future to see if they wind up there at a discount. All the hype about these pants being for all sizes is kind of ridiculous. If a larger sized person is well proportioned and not particularly bottom heavy that has the possibility of being true, but skinny jeans on someone carrying their extra weight in their legs from top to bottom can look like knockwurst in comparison to frankfurters. It's a matter of what is flattering to particular body types and not just offering larger sizes. 6 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/16908-bethenny-frankel-skinny-girl/page/161/#findComment-4657200

weaver September 9, 2018 Share September 9, 2018 I see much more athletic wear than jeans on the younger crowd now. I don't think its the right time to get into the market. There is always a market for jeans though so we will see. Khloe did well with her jeans, and they got quite good reviews. Don't know how well her sales have done recently though. I see exactly nobody wearing the kind of outfit that is in the ad. September 10th is a big Jewish holiday, so I was rather surprised that it was the launch date. September 11th is a serious day in Manhattan; you wouldn't use it for any celebratory purposes. I guess the real release date is Sept 12th if that is when she is in the store. 7 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/16908-bethenny-frankel-skinny-girl/page/161/#findComment-4657410

Oh what I'd pay to watch 5 or 6 random women of diff body fits/sizes/styles show up impromptu for Bethenny to fit and style in her crappy new low crotch jeans. What a shit show that would be. A natural foods CHEF fitting shitty bedazzled jeans on people off the cuff. She is such a joke. 12 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/16908-bethenny-frankel-skinny-girl/page/161/#findComment-4657425
pasdetrois September 9, 2018 Share September 9, 2018 Quote And frankly, maybe Dennis *wouldn't be dead* if it wasn't so easy for him to score pills. There was debate about why he had Narcan on hand. I heard a cop say that Narcan is now being used by addicts as a fail-safe tool. In other words, they plan to use opioids but keep Narcan nearby in case they need it. Kind of a 2018 Russian Roulette. 5 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/16908-bethenny-frankel-skinny-girl/page/161/#findComment-4657564

This is yet another photo of a model in SG jeans, showing a very ill-fitting crotch. I don't think we should see genitalia, but there has to be a happy medium between camel toe and drop crotch, no? THAT's why they fit Sonja so well!...there's extra room for her jitney diaper. It all makes sense now. 20 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/16908-bethenny-frankel-skinny-girl/page/161/#findComment-4657607

Telling her to stick with her brand, what she knows, and not diversify too much?

Do those even exist anymore??? Not gonna lie, I still have a plethora of Lucky brand hoodies packed in storage in my basement. ? bringing back to B. Jeans come and go. She may have a good year or so and then the next great thing comes along. (ducking) I think Baby PHAT and Juicy are cute and clever brand names. I would not wear the logos/names, because I am not, unfortunately, PHAT, nor are any of my body parts Juicy. If I had had a Juicy toosh in my 20s, I probably would have worn the pants. Probably.
