    I really don't want to tailor every pair of pants I buy.. I'd rather just avoid jeans like I have been doing haha. I just wear skirts and dresses.
    As for curves, I really don't have what people would consider curves. My waist is 24 inches and my hips are 36. I guess it gives the illusion that I have curves, though, because of the difference in those numbers. I don't know; I just know it is annoying haha.
    I was just hoping there was something I could maybe do to make the ratio more normal.
    I also have very slim thighs so when I try to buy a pair that is sized for my hips and just have them ride on my hips rather than sit where they should, they are then baggy in the thighs.
    I guess I'm just stuck with dresses and skirts.

    Those are curves. And its your bone structure..not much you are going to be able to do to change it.

    You are blessed with the hourglass figure that is the ideal body image for most women! Flaunt it girl! ;-) I agree with suggestion of the low rise pants. Also, buying women/Misses sizes instead of JR will help as JR's are made for girls with no hips! LOL!
    Be proud of the body you have! Most of us are jealous!

    Oh god, I have the same problem! I have currently, a 16 inch difference. It's very hard but I have noticed that belts are a solution and also Levi has this curve ID, you answer a couple questions and then they show you which jeans will fit you! www.us.levi.com
    Fantastic!!! I am a Supreme Curve, lol. I hope they have this in the UK too!

    I have the same difficulty, which is why I don't wear jeans. I mostly wear skirts and dresses to disguise the proportions.

    But when I do wear pants, I take 4 mini-tucks in the waist band to reduce the size.

    Remember that the ideal measurement is 36-24-36... That's a 12-inch difference! It's a shame that clothing manufacturers don't understand that, but I guess we are in the minority these days.

    American Apparel has waist high jeans made to fit people with 12" difference between their hips and waist. They are $80 and well made. http://store.americanapparel.net/product/?productId=rsadm304

    Don't change your body type! :( It's not your job to fit into clothes, it's their job to fit you.

    that is a GREAT "problem" to have. I wear a flippin' steel-boned corset to get that waist-to-hip differential look.
