Can't find jeans to fit....help!!

Since my lower body lift, I have the hardest time finding jeans to fit me, actually any pants in general that don't have an elastic waist band! I don't want to spend the rest of my life in my sweats!

I recently had inner and outer thigh and knee lipo, but even though she (my surgeon) took out the max of fat, my thighs are still very large, and I am looking at 1 more round of lipo this summer, and also an inner thigh lift..then my plan is to be done with plastics.

My waist is alot smaller than my lower body, and if I don't wear a belt that's sinched so tight I am miserable, the crotch area of my pants sag way low and I am constantly pulling my pants up....it drives me crazy!

So, my question is, if any of you are in the same boat, what pants/jeans have you found that work for you? I don't even care if they are pricey, I just want my pants to stay on, and to be comfortable in them.

Thanks!

The only thing I have found over the years is to buy jeans or anything really that fits the largest part of your body best. Then find a good tailor and have them altered. Yes, it's a bit pricey, but if you are willing to pay whatever price it costs to get clothes that fit well, then you can buy a less expensive pair of jeans and with the cost of alteration, you probably are then at about what you would pay for a very expensive pair of jeans and they will fit you like a glove.

Good luck,
Stephanie

I agree with Stef. I have a friend, who has a small waist and her lower part is bigger. She has everything tailor to bring in the waist part on her jeans.

I have a tailor who I can take in my clothes too....but I also know there are certain pairs of jeans you can buy that are made for larger hipped women...was hoping for some brand names.

Thanks for your help...:)

I am not necessarily big hipped as I am big butt - LOL

I like the Lee jean I have bought from Kohls.

I have seen some people buy the jeans I think they are called Apple Bottom. Most ladies that wear them are larger in the rear and smaller at the waist.

Let us know what you end up finding.

Good Luck,
