    Try a Banana Republic, their trousers tend to be fitted to your shape. I have a tiny waist and big butt, so they don't work for me.

    I have the same problem. The best I've found so far were a pair of Calvin Klein trousers I got at Ross, but even they are a bit more baggy in the legs than I'd ideally prefer. (And I had to go down a size. Mostly an 8 in pants but those are a 6.)

    Try the Loft by Ann Taylor. It has three different types of fit...

    Marisa = "Your perfect fit if your hips are proportionate to your waist."
    Julie = "Our curvy fit – your perfect fit if your waist is smaller, but your hips are curvier."
    Zoe = "Your perfect fit if your waist and hips are close to, or the same size."

    Ah, I need to try their Zoe. I've tried their Marisa and no-go; didn't know about the Zoe.

    "close stomach to hip ratio" sounds like you need men's trousers.

    (It cut the rest of my post off) specifically, 12s tend to be too tight around my waist but if I go up, the fabric tends to be way too lose around my legs and butt. Looking for brand recommendations from anyone who suffers similarly! Thank you!

    I have a similar problem and am about the same size, and I have found work pants from The Gap look pretty decent on me. Banana Republic fits me but makes me look like a fat (fatter than I am) 45 year old secretary, so that's out. I have big hips/butt/belly but then my legs taper off dramatically and I have very thin calves and ankles, it's not an easy shape to fit!

    What kind of work clothing? If you need business dress, NYDJ makes good stretchy trousers that don't look like stretch pants. They're pricey, but if you have a Nordstrom rack nearby you can often find them there.
