Which is better for work?

The Judy Blue Peggy. Its non-distressed straight leg and ankle crop look more polished than the faded, distressed wide leg.

Which is better for a curvy petite frame?

The "Ab"solution goes up to 24W and its stretch blend and fit technology smooth the hips and stomach. Judy Blue's tummy control helps too, but its size run is narrower.

Both are stretch denim that holds shape with machine washing and tumble drying. The "Ab"solution lists its full fabric blend, so you know exactly what you are getting.

Is the "Ab"solution worth $19 more?

Only if you want the retro flare, the light distressed wash, and the softer cotton-rayon fabric. For a plain straight ankle jean, the Judy Blue saves you money.

Do either need hemming?

The "Ab"solution has a 32-inch inseam, so shorter petites may need hemming. The Judy Blue Peggy is cut to hit at the ankle on petite frames.

How do I pick my Judy Blue size?

Size down one from your department size, so a 10 becomes a 9. If you straddle two sizes, take the middle size.
