Ladies i need help does anyone know of places that sell jeans that fit a curvy figure. I always find if they fit my bum there is a massive gap at the waist and if they measure up against my waist i cant get them over my bum. I have a 28" waist and 41" hips. Anyone else have this problem? And know where good trousers are that are gunna fit

    I have had this problem for more than 30 years. Although through the years I did find a pair or two of trousers I've never had a pair of jeans fit - whether I am at size six or size 14. If the jeans fit my bottom then the jeans are at a minimum 3 inches too big at the waist. Usually the waist is big enough to put my fist down into the jeans.

    My goal weight reward to myself is going to the "Master Tailor" in town and saying " can you make me a pair of jeans that fit?"

    I guess the plus side is I have no idea what muffin top is.

    I have a couple pairs of Levi Denizen curvy boot cut and they fit well. (I am hips 44, waist 32, wear US 14.) They have some stretch in the waistband but don't look like elastic waist pants. Also called Levi 815.

    Levi curvy on their site list a 43 hip ( mine) with a 34.25 waist ( several inches bigger than mine) not to mention for 60 dollars I want jeans that will not only fit ( And these would not) , they better make me look incredible. :(

    ll bean doesn't look promising either - their size chart has size 14 at hips 1 inch too small and waist 1.5 inches too big. :(. Also a fortune that I refuse to pay for ill fitting clothes.

    I paid $30, and the ones I'm wearing say 14M 32Wx32L. They fit a bit snugly across hips (44" as I said above) but comfortable. I see where the size chart says 34 waist but mine is now 32.5 and still no gap.

    I wouldn't say they make me look incredible but I liked them enough to buy a second pair. Note, they don't sit AT the natural waist but a little lower so they aren't quite mom jeans.

    Here's the link online but really you'll want to try on first.

    LOL, they are just high-waisted, generously cut jeans. Like the jeans we all wore in the 80s. Especially if they are acid washed and pleated. OMG I googled for an example and I found "vintage" ones for sale.

    I've had decent luck with 7 Jeans in their "Curvy Fit" collection. Not a perfect fit, but decent.

    However, I have my tailor "nip" the waist and in the small of my back for perfectly fitted clothes made for my figure. I am maintaining though, so if you are still losing this could get costly.

    Same here. I have 12inches between hips and waist at any weight. I usually use my sewing machine to sew two darts in the back, and reinforce with hand stitching.

    I can't wear high waisted anything as I'm short waisted. I also have to take the waists in for skirts too.

    I have similar problems getting jeans that fit well, I really like John Rocha 'Elsa' jeans
