I'm forced to buy the good fitting jeans and hem them to avoid the unsightly rolling/cuffing. Hemming jeans is a fairly easy task long long as you have a good iron and some demin thread (both the goldish heavy duty "jean thread" and denim colored thread too). I measured Aaliyah's inseam (17.5") and marked her jeans, allotted an additional .5" for room to grow as well as 2 full inches for the seam allowance (it would be nice to be able to let the jeans out a little if needed as she grows). I cut the jeans accordingly and then pressed the seams to make sewing much easier.
All in all - the jeans look identical to how I purchased them - except they're not just the right size! See for yourself...
