    Have you tried Old Navy? They have some pretty good stuff, and a lot of their pants come in long or short lengths as well, so you wouldn't always have to go with capris. Not sure if they have the varied lengths in-store, but they should online.

    Old Navy has petite sixes for is shorties and is pretty roomy in the butt. I have a few from there that have stayed on and in place through a few mud runs that I love. They are also currently on sale.

    I have some from old navy- and while I LOVE them- they to tend to slip a little- but I am not 100% certain if that's because they are smalls- and I've put on some weight from my bulk- or just the rise is not quiett tall enough to make it UP over the lady lumps. Not sure- still really like them- they are one of my favorite pairs because of the structure of the pant.

    Also TJMaxx has some great pairs- not sure the brand- all mine are stripey and neon. (SUPER FAB)

    and then the Target Brand- not the basic brand- the slightly more expensive Platinum ones? Reversible with a mini pocket- have kind of a sea foam green band.... holy crap- I have 2 of them and they are thick- and have worn like kevlar armor. I have had them for like 4 or 5 years- and I'm only considering replacing them now because they are a little big on me. 34$ and well worth it.

    Edit- I have a 29/30" waist and a 40-42" hip/butt... so I know of this falling off squatting butt issue. It's a huge pain.

    I have 2 pairs of these. http://store.nike.com/us/en_us/pd/legendary-slim-training-capris/pid-723828/pgid-1488836

    They are not cheap, but they are amazing!

    Yep...I love my Nike Dri Fit capris and shorts!!

    I second Lucy and personally, Lululemon are my favorite. They come in sizes, 2, 4 6, 8, etc. so I find they fit better. They aren't cheap though so be prepared to drop some cash if you go to either of those stores. I like the Wunder Unders from Lulu. I have a friend that also swears by NIke ones.

    +1 on the Lululemon

    Basically any slim pant made by Nike is amazing. I have the flared running kind that fit like yoga pants. They're so stretchy and comfortable, and the waist comes up to my belly button, absolutely no gap or crack-showing :)

    LMFAO...

    "they come in sizes"

    well I should hope so- that's kind of SOP for most companies who make work out clothes for women.

    That being said- I refuse to cater to a misogynistic company like that- I will not purchase their clothing EVER.

    I have taken to getting BCG brand tights from Academy and then wearing those under basketball shorts (the kind with the little perforated holes in the fabric, a drawstring waistband and pockets). That's what I feel most modest in.

    Try Athleta. www.athleta.com They have a huge selection of cuts, styles and fits, including short, average, tall etc. The fabric is supportive and "holds you in" but isn't super thick - it actualy breaths. These things are bullet proof. Yes, they're expensive ($50 to $75) but they last forever. I hate how cheap spandex starts to show little pieces of broken stretchy string, not to mention the "pilling" where things rub. Don't get me started on the see-through aspect. Athleta clothing does none of those things. And, they have a "love it or return it" policy. So if you wear them, sweat, squat, run and decide you don't like them, take them back - anytime. I just returned a sports bra after 9 months because an underwire poked through. Any other sports bra I would say, "well, great run, guess I need a new one" - Not Athleta. They said it should not have done that during regular wear and tear for at least a year, and gave me a brand new one. Really great brand that looks great, fits great and wears like armour.

    that's awesome- I saw someone running in a sports top of theirs and piqued my interest- no clue they had such an awesome return policy!!
