Anyone have this problem with the fit of their jeans?

| I have an unfortunate body type: those "saddle bag" protrusions from my thighs, no matter what size I am. So my thighs are a full size larger than my waist. Right now I am a size 14 in my thighs and a size 12 in my waist. That ratio persists even when I lose weight. I am a casual dresser and a stay at home mom, so I mostly wear jeans. Does anyone else have this problem? What styles and brands of jeans work best for you? Or do I need to find myself a tailor for all my jeans?! |

| I haven't done this myself but from watching What Not To Wear for years, they always said that nipping in the waist was a pretty easy tailoring job. So find a few pairs that fit the biggest part of you and get them tailored. |

| NP here. You can tailor the jeans to get the waist decreased, but then pulling them on over your hips might be harder. I either do that, or get lower rise jeans (so they sit more on the hip) and then wear tank tops tucked in to avoid plumber's crack. |

| I have this problem. I look for "curvy fit" jeans made from a softer denim fabric, which will conform to the curve of my hips rather than creating a gap at my back. If there's a small gap, I can usually fix it with a belt. I have a pair of Joe's jeans and a pair of J Brand that work pretty well. Also a pair from NY & Co that are slightly stiffer but have enough curve through the hip to work. |

| I have a large (11"+) waist to hip ratio and the Loft Curvy fit jeans are the best I've found so far. (Note I have not tried premium denim.) I have tried altering jeans but it hasn't turned out as nice as the Loft Curvy's. |

| My mom is built like you - go get the jeans taken in. World of difference. |

| Maybe try Levi's Curve ID--they have different versions based on different waist-to-hip ratios. |

| I have the same issue, my thighs are bigger proportionally than my hips and waist. It is not to the point of needing to take in the waist, though. I just noticed that 7 for all mankind lists thigh measurements (for at least some of their jeans). Maybe this will help you. |
