[quote=Anonymous]Post-kids, I want pants that right at my natural waist.  For some reason, the lower ride ones just slide down my butt now, plus the really cut into the part of my lower belly that never did recover.  After a really frustrating day at work where my underwear was really cutting into my little fat roll or getting caught under it and rolling under, I ordered a whole bunch of stretchy high rise underwear and it was the best decision ever.  The hanky panky high rise stretch lace are great.  I gained a whole new understanding for "mom jeans".  What seems most flattering is straight front pants with a waist that hits right at natural waist (which is sometimes now called high waisted, for some reason) and falls straight down from the hips (which is sometimes now called wide leg, even though I think prior to the skinny jean era these would have just been called "straight leg" or just "leg").

Comfy dresses also work well, if you can find the right shoes and don't hate how your calves look.  For some reason, post kids my calves swelled way up and never really came down -- they aren't fat, they are just really wide now.

If you want nice garden party stuff, someone just posted a thread about The Fold, and they have some really pretty dresses in florals.  For cheaper, Boden has some nice stuff that is figure-forgiving usually.  Anthropologie also sometimes has some stuff that will work.
