Ladies: Pants Problem?

I would suggest you keep trying different brands, styles, and so on. Riders jeans (by Lee) are some that have a little bit higher waist, yet don't give you that "Mom-jean" look. There's also some, I think by Levi's, that have different fits based on different types of curves. That's assuming you're looking for jeans. I almost always buy jeans with a little bit of spandex in them, too, as they are more forgiving. If you are looking at dress pants, I don't know if you have a Reitman's where you are, but they have these pants called "comfort pants" which are kind of similar to maternity pants in that they have a stretchy waistband to help them fit better, be more comfortable, and they are great, especially if you're between sizes. Maybe you can find something similar? Good luck!

Same problem! I hate baggy pants with a passion. But I don't like tight pants that give me a muffin top either! UGH. I have one pair of Lee's stretch bell-bottoms that fit perfectly, but they're wearing out, I'd rather wear straight-leg jeans anyway. I did buy some straight-legs not too long ago that fit pretty good, but they're too short. The regular length was wayyy too long. GAWD this is aggravating! Nice to know I'm not the only one suffering through this. : )

Best advice go online and buy 8 slims from Levi's brand. I don't have the same problem I have the skinny waist and round bottom but my kids are super skinny for their height so that's what I do and I saw women's jeans there too.

Have you tried skinny jeans? I slimmed to a size 12 from a 16 but can still wear my old skinny's because they still fit nice around my thighs. I do need a belt to keep them from sliding past my butt. But no muffin top and no front butt. You can also look for stretch boot cuts. They're tighter at the thighs and flair a bit at the bottom. Levis have several fits and if you have a fashion bug near by they also have fits for all shapes and sizes including pettite and tall. Hope this helps.

My leg vs middle isn't as dramatic as yours but it is an issue for me too. I love junior style pants, they sit lower so no major muffin top. Just keep in mind that junior sizes can run waaay different that women's. I have bit of an odd body proportion so for me I can wear a woman's size 8 or a junior's size 11.

I have the same problem. I have the best luck with Worthington modern fit trousers from JCPenney. Not too expensive, and they are available in different lengths.

Congrats on your terrific progress!

Congratulations on losing 50lbs! That's fabulous! Have you tried wearing one of those tank tops that suck your gut in? Sometimes they help enough to smooth things out so that you're more comfortable. You just had a little munchkin, and sometimes our abs are the last ones to play nice after being stretched out for almost 10 months.

This is a wonderful idea. Thank you!!!

Or try spanx... LOVE THEM!! They have all kinds of shape wear... Kinda pricey, but so worth the investment.. I wear them with jeans, dresses, they make leggings, skirts, tops, & workout gear... No bulge or panty lines <

HATE SEEING PANTY LINES.... LOL...

Are these jeans or work pants? Where are you buying them from? I have found that changing brands may help.

Jeans are usually ok, it's work pants I have most of the problem with.

Try a different store. I used to buy my work pants at JC Penney. I started having that problem where in order to fit my waist, they were enormous on my legs! I now get my work pants at New York and Company, and love how they fit!

Skirts and dresses -- show off those new legs!

Not only that, you can use them longer while you're losing weight and not have to drop so much $$ on new clothing because they are so much easier to adjust to fit your waist, as opposed to your whole lower body.

try the Drew fit at the Limited. I have the same problem. I swear by these for my work pants.
