    Have you tried buying a pair that fits through the hips and then having the waist altered? It might be costly, but it might be worth the investment when you think about how many wears you'll get out of a pair of jeans that is tailored to your body.

    OMG, I can't believe I didn't think of that. I don't think it's more than 5-10 bucks to have them put a little dart in the waist. I'm going to take in a few pairs of problem jeans and try that... way cheaper than buying another pair of jeans for sure!

    You will love it! I have a 25" waist and 38" hips and this is what I do with ALL pants. Also, Lucky brand sweet n low style fits me off the shelf. They are the one and only style that does. I also have big thighs.

    I am so jealous of your waist to hip ratio! My inner black guy just gotta say -- dayum gurl!

    LMAO. Well, I do get attention for it I have to admit. I used to HATE it, but now I am pretty happy with my shape in general. I waited 40 something years for a big booty to come into fashion!! :laugh:

    I have a 26 inch waist and a 37/38" hip and I know this problem. Try switching to juniors sizes, they ride lower on your hips so you dont have to worry about it cinching your waist. I hate the maw-maw butt - im trying to grow my *kitten* as much as possible so I can just make sure its all filled out nicely.

    not sure why you wear your jeans at your waist though... sounds a bit Urkelish. really? right under your ribs?

    I never switched out of jrs. sizing. Lol. I don't wear them at my waist. I wear them low on my hips. My 14 yr. old niece was trying to sell me on high waisted shorts last night though. Haha. I was like, they look cute and retro on you; on me, well, I'll just look like a dorky old lady. I included the waist measurement because the hip to waist ratio changes how they fit... your pants sit somewhere in between your waist and your hip measurement, so the shape of that plan has everything to do with getting a perfect fit. I am really really insanely picky about how my clothes fit. So I think tailoring has got to be the way to go. If you figure out how to grow your butt, please let me in on the secret!

    how to grow your butt?? thats the easiest thing in the world if you have ANY genetics on your side at all!!! I have NO GENETIC HELP!!! hahahaha (also yeah - dont be doin that high waisty shorts thing, those younguns dont even realize how silly they look yet).

    To grow your butt and fill out the mawmaw droopy butt.... squats (heavy), deadlifts (heavy), lunges & squats with bodyweight, bridge ups, one legged bodyweight deadlifts, there are no many things. Do ALL the things lolol

    best of luck to you!!!!

    I've literally never been able to find jeans that fit me right. My only solution to this was that I just quit wearing them altogether. I only wear leggings pretty much and dresses.

    I'm a 26 waist and a 37 hip. My butt is BIG for a white girl so I need jeans that fit me in the butt but aren't HUGE around my waist and I've yet to find a pair that is that way. Either they fit me around the waist and look like I painted them on in my butt/thigh area or they fit me right in my butt/thigh area and are way too big around my waist.
