I find a lot of nice clothes at Kohl's. Decent prices too.
Kohl's has some great brands & prices, thank you!!0 -
I actually shop for jeans at www.victoriassecret.com... anybody else? Pricier, but I always love my jeans... I feel like their sizes are a bit on the "bigger" side, so I always go down a size. :flowerforyou:
Someone in my FL recommended VS too, thanks!0 -
When I was smaller (12-16) I bought my jeans at either the Buckle or Old Navy. Lots of choices. The Buckle can be pricey but they have really good quality jeans.
I don't love the way some Old Navy styles fit me, but it's been awhile, I will give them another shot thanks! Someone at Gap recommended the Buckle style "Maddie" so I'll try there as well!0 -
I also vote for Levi's Denizens. They are amazing. I wear a size 6. My measurements are-- waist: 26, hips: 36.
Ahhhh, they're made by Levi! Thank you! Any other retailer you'd recommend? Target isn't my favorite (not for any reason other than continued poor customer service). Thanks!
I tried to go to the actual Levi's store & apparently that's a target or discount store line they make, but they don't sell them directly so I'll keep looking around to try them! Thanks.0 -
Honestly, to save money I buy from Goodwill or consignment shops. If I find a pair that I absolutely love, I'll do an online search and find the cheapest place to get additional pairs.0

I went to Buckle and got sized for their jeans. I bought one pair of PERFECTLY fitting jeans (but so expensive for me) Now that I know my Buckle measurements, I can get the jeans a lot cheaper on Ebay :happy:0

American eagle has great jeans! They go up to size 18 (not that you need it!) :-)0

I have a booty, so pants have always been hard.
My measurements for comparison
29 waist
42 hip
21 thigh
155 lb
32%BF
I haven't gone pant shopping in a while, I think I'm a 12. I wear size 8 skirts because that's what fits my waist.
1st are you opposed to getting things tailored? If it fits the bum and the thighs, a tailor can take in the waist.
Lee natural fit (from an outlet mall)
I have also had success from Express Editor pants
and check out Thrift stores and consignment shops! I have 2 near me, Plato's closet, and Green Street. These places only have things in season.
I have also been eyeing up Venus.com. they have cute inexpensive stuff but I haven't bought yet.
I don't want to buy pants until I loose some weight. I've been wearing mostly skirts and dresses because my jeans fell apart last month. =(
I'm not 100% opposed to tailoring, but I was seeking an in between size just for now why my body is still losing inches/pounds so these I wouldn't want to have to alter. I do have Express on my list thanks!!
I have smaller waist/hips so I have to fit my thighs/calves which is tough.0 -

LOL! Love this. It's EXACTLY what the employee at the Gap told me. "Go try Buckle's Maddie style, then once you know your measurements for their pants go on Ebay!" LOL. I'll give it a shot!0 -
Bump, cuz I'm having the same problem. Especially for finding denim shorts right now! Augh!0

I have tried every jean on the planet. The ONLY ones that work for me over and over and over are from Maurice's. If you have a Maurice's near you go try their various styles. My style that works for me is Orchid. Yours may be a different one but the problem I have is that I have large calves and the jeans made now look like leggings on me because they all have lycra and suck up to your legs! The Orchid's fit like a dream. I know others have had AWESOME luck with Maruices jeans. They have many different styles. I bet one would fit you just like you dream!0

^^^MY ALL TIME FAVORITE PLACE SO FAR!!! I actually had never heard of them before this January (2013) and they're in the same shopping center as the Sports Authority I shop at. They had a huge sign in their window for a SALE so I figured I'd go in and take a look around since all my family & friends were hassling me about not having any clothes that fit. The style the gal recommended for me was Taylor, I'll have to look at Orchid next time! I know they do run a bit generous in their sizing but if they look good & make us feel good WHO CARES?! Thanks for the reminder, it was a fun memory for me to relive trying on non-plus sized clothes for the first time in quite a few years!0 -
www.makeyourownjeans.com Put in your own measurements and voila! custom-fitted jeans and pants!0

Have you heard of Not Your Daughter's Jeans? I don't know where to get them, though.0

Old Navy/Gap has jeans for all shapes and sizes but I would recommend if
you go there you try several cuts and use their fitting rooms. They can
differ greatly between the same sizes because they are manufactured
just about anywhere outside the US. Congrats in this milestone.

I get most of my Jeans at Ann taylor Loft (usually at the outlet). I go there because I am extra short and they are one of the few places that make jeans short enough for me. I know this isn't the case for you, but I find the jeans there to be roomy in all of the right places. I am 41 years old and I feel like they are made for a woman's body, not a girl's.0

I will second this. I started buying mine from AE a couple of years ago when Levi discontinued my 504s (the only one's they made long enough to fit me). I'm 5'10" as well, so I get the AE Straight Jean in X-Long. I started with those at a size 12, and am now down to a 6

Thrift stores often have lots of variety to choose from.
I love Target because they seem to fit my smaller hips/thighs, but that probably means they are not good for curvy types.0 -

I did try AE, maybe I should've asked for help, but all the associates were SUPER TWIGGY... Maybe I'll try again.Old Navy/Gap has jeans for all shapes and sizes but I would recommend if

I was not successful at Gap, however did well at Banana Republic (I know you didn't mention them, but they're also a gap brand) will try Old Navy. Thanks!0 -

Seems like Macy's, Nordstrom & Dillard's well them locally for me, they're on the list, thanks again!0 -
Goodwill. They are preshrunk so you don't have to worry about that, and cheap, so that if you move to another size soon, no great $ lost. And...they tend to be clothes people actually wear. I look for straight leg on the rack, or a cute back pocket to save me time as I sift.0

Macy's sells them. But it has to be a big macy's like King of Prussia in Pa. They are hella expensive, IMO.
(Used to work at a Macy's that did not sell them, and they got returned to my store.)0 -
We're about the same size. I'm 5'10 and about a size 10.

make an appointment with a personal shopper at any department store (Macys, Lord and Taylor, Bloomingdales, etc.) and on the phone explain that you are CURVY and give them your size (if you are in between sizes, tell them to bring both sizes) - they will fill your fitting room with pants from various designers/makers, etc. and you will be able to come in, try everything on and see what looks best on you. Then you will know which designer works for your body!
Note: personal shoppers DO NOT charge a penny. They work on commission so they get something depending on how much you buy after your appointment. Another huge plus - they will hook you up with any and all coupons and money saving tips.
I have scored some seriously nice jeans and dresses this way and this is the only way I shop now.0 -

MINDBLOWN!!! I used to use personal shoppers years ago when I had a very strict dress code at my company. I completely didn't think of ever doing this for casual clothes (I am now a stay at home mom, so I pretty much only dress casual, except for church).
Thank you!!!!! ????????????0 -
I feel bad for you Americans!

^^^I don't know anything different (I've only ever been to Canada and Mexico) but I can safely say that this comment is the UNDERSTATEMENT of the history of the written word. LOL!!! It's so frustrating and confusing. Sizes are not standardized in ANY WAY and the names of the styles are so ridiculous... *smh*0
