Hip to Waist Ratio
Replies

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.0 -
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!0 -
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.com0

Bold curve here. Love that!0 -
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.0 -
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.0 -
that is a GREAT "problem" to have. I wear a flippin' steel-boned corset to get that waist-to-hip differential look.0
