[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 575465, member: 3907"] The secret is to determine the right fit for your body shape, regardless of the size. (I used to have a dressmaking business many years ago, and my grannie was a seamstress. Here are some of her tips and mine) Critical measurements you'll need are: 1) waist circumference -- natural waist, just above your navel. The indentations on your sides are above your natural waist 2) hip circumference -- measured at the largest point. Look in the mirror sideways while you're taking the measurement, and make sure the tape measure is level all the way around 3) inseam -- from the floor next to the inside of your foot to the point where your leg and "lady parts" join at the side Then a few questions to identify your problem areas when trying to find jeans that fit. 1) Do they fit nicely through the hips and thighs, but gape at the back of the waist OR Does the waist fit well, but the jeans are loose and flappy around the hips and thighs? 2) Are your legs full, balanced or slim when compared to your upper body? 3) Is your figure type "triangle", "hourglass", "column" or "inverted triangle"? Lots of companies now make jeans and pants in different cuts to accommodate different body shapes, such as slim, regular, curvy, etc. You can find the right pair for you, just need to do a bit of research first. Also, several companies have online stores where you can get a sense of the different cuts available before venturing out to the shops. Please feel free to PM me if you have further questions about fit or if my explanations above don't make sense. Good luck! Trinity [/QUOTE]
