Girls around 5ft 4in, weight and jean size please!

CurvyEmmy

I’m a bit over 250 pounds and jeans are super frustrating because I’m Apple shape so my butt and thighs aren’t that big but my fattest area is around my tummy. Most girls are shaped bigger around the butt and smaller around the waist. But I’m bigger around my waist so it’s really hard to find jeans that will fit my shape.

Usually the waistband isn’t big enough for me to button them comfortably around my tummy. If they are low rise I can sometimes button them under my tummy and let my tummy fat hang over the top of the waist band. This can feel really uncomfortable though especially when sitting, it’s like the waistband is digging into my fat roll.

I prefer to button them around my tummy but it’s hard to find a good fit. If they are big enough to button comfortably, then they will feel a little bit loose around my butt and legs which I do not like! But if they hug my butt and thighs nice and tight like I want, then I usually can’t get them to button around my waist - they just won’t reach around my tummy fat

I mostly wear leggings now because they are SO much more comfortable than jeans. They stretch to hug my shape and it feels so much easier to get my myself into them because they don’t need to button!

I used to be a size 16-18 pre-pandemic but my size has gone up. This pair (see picture below) is a size 22 but I can only button them if I’m wearing spanx to help suck in my tummy. So maybe I’m like a 24? I’m pretty happy with the way they look but they feel tight when I sit down. If I had to sit for a long time in these I would need to unbutton them to give my belly some relief!

Are any other girls shaped like me and what kind of jeans work for you? Anyone else want to post a picture?
