Weird clothes sizes

Help! The good news is that I have been losing weight; the bad news is my body is misproportioned! I am now a 38 inch hip and a 32.75 inch waist! Where do I get flattering clothes and how the heck do I get a smaller waist? This is driving me crazy! I am hoping to lose about 10 pounds and start focusing on building up some muscle. So, really, I am asking for help in two areas - exercise and clothes shopping. Any suggestions?

    I have no idea how to help you cause I have the same problem. There's about a 4" difference between my waist and hips. I live in saggy butt pants, just to get them to fit in the waist. But I was that way at my heaviest as well.

    i'm the same!
    except my waist is small and my thighs are biiiiiig so my jeans look really weird on me.
    it's probably just a phase though,keep toning and eating clean and i'm sure you're body will even out.

    I still have issues. It is so weird. I lost all my weight. My hips would fit a size 6 but my waist is like size 10, I can fit into a size 8 lol My waist is now catching up to my hips. I think you got to really keep working out and lift weights to get proportions back to normal and of course keep eating well.

    I will be interested in reading replies to your post as I'm having the same problem with body proportions now that I've lost weight!

    buy for your biggest portion then find a good tailor and your clothes will fit great. That's what the experts say to do anyway. And that's what I hope to do when I reach my goal and spend wads on new clothes :)

    Even when I had those last 10 pounds off I had problems with proportions. I am wearing size 11 shorts and have no hiney. I can't afford a tailor and suck at sewing. And I'm a DD on top, so it makes it hard to even find a shirt that doesn't look baggy. I'll try the cardio and weights, I guess, and just keep plugging with y healthy lifestyle. Oh, well!
