I have a small waist and a big butt. The jeans that fit my butt are too big in the waist and vice versa.

This is when you should be having your clothes tailored. You should buy clothes that fit the largest part of your body (here, your hips and behind) and then have them taken in where they are too large.

Having the waist taken in on a pair of pants is a very common and inexpensive alteration. I pay $8 to have this done, as I have the same problem.

That is a great idea! idk why i never thought about that

You know why celebrities always look so amazing, even in jeans and a t-shirt? They have EVERYTHING tailored, even that plain cotton t-shirt.

Find a good tailor and make him or her your new BFF. You will be amazed at how perfectly-fitting clothes make your body look ten times more amazing.

I shop in both departments (I'm 34). I would highly recommend levi's. I am really short and have found that the levi's are short enough, fit great, and actually last a long while. Also, Hydraulic brand looks great on the booty. Kinda lifts everything.

That would definitely take away the agony of shopping for jeans. Why have I never thought to do that? I'm going to be looking for a tailor in my town now.

Yes! I'm actually wearing a pair of hydraulics right now that I bought when I went home to visit a few years ago. They are nice and stretchy in the butt/hip/thigh area and fit nicely on my waist! :-)

The best resource is to ask around for references. That is how I found my tailor. She does alterations but also makes custom clothing, so I know she knows the true ins-and-outs of clothing construction.

If you can't get any references, check the yellow pages. Look under "alterations" or "tailor." I would just start out with one piece of clothing to see what kind of job they do.

Also, many dry cleaners also do simple alterations. Try calling a dry cleaner and see if they offer it.

If all else fails, try shopping (or maybe window shopping) at a higher-end department store. The sales clerk will probably be able to refer you to a good tailor. Also, many higher-end department stores have their own alterations departments.
