NWR: finding the perfect jeans *PLUS SIZE*

I love my style&co jeans from Macy's. My waist is small but my hips and butt (I can only think God has a warped sense of humor) are way fluffy! I have to buy a size or two bigger just for those monstrosity of hips I have! lol

@Kasey C. - I feel your pain. I am all hips and butt. I struggle to find jeans also jlu. Everything nowadays is skinny, which I hate.

If you have a Torrid in your area, try them. I have found a style of jean that I love there. They have fits for almost every body type.

Girl let me tell you, I'd much rather be in a induced labor without pain meds than go jean shopping. I walk away crying everytime!

I forgot about torrid! You can order online from them too!

You can also try Catos, Lane Bryants, and The Avenue.

Thanks. my issue is i have small hips and small but, if it fits in the waist, then i'm swimming in butt and hips....making me look fatter

I like torrid as well. I am from Canada, so I don't get there a lot, but I have found some great stuff there.

Oh yes the dreaded jean shopping days ... no matter what style I buy I either look to fat, to short or just plain unattractive ... I get green with envy when I see these women in the mall or at the store in their perfect jeans ... I have a tummy, an okay waist, big butt and huge thighs so for me jean shopping is a horrid experience ... as well ... There is one pair of jeans I like and they are from JCP and they are Amanda jeans ... I still am not in LOVE with the way I look in them but they are better than some others I've tried.

The website Chadwicks has great jeans that actually hold you in. I wear them for riding. I love the 5 pocket straight leg cut. I don't buy any relaxed fit because, imho, I just fill in the "relaxed" area with the extra bumps I have. ; )

Also, Lord and Taylor sells a jean called "Not Your Daughter's Jeans". Somehow, they make your arse look fabulous AND hold you in. They are pricey at about $100 a pair. However, if you buy one black and one denim, you are good to go for a pair of "going out jeans". THey come in boot cut, etc. They rarely go on sale and most discount coupons don't apply. I nearly died when I saw the price tag, but when DH saw them on me, he bought them for me. Yes, they are that good. I look about 10 pounds lighter and the arse is not sagging.

I've always been told torrid, or maybe buy big and have a tailor fix the waist. I'm smaller I'm not a real big girl, but I have huge thighs and my calves are large ( over the knee socks sometimes don't even fit, boots usually zip onmy calves it's terrible) and I've got no butt. Needless to say I

Love my belts because I always have to buy for my thighs to fit in the pants and the waist is too big. I hate it. People of all sizes have issues, just not always the same ones.

Maybe try seeing what zafu suggests:

I am also apple shaped and have a hard time with baggy bottom and thigh. I swore by the old Lane Bryant jeans but I don't care for the new style as much because I only wear flare and they stopped that cut. I know they do the right fit which should help if your good with bootcut, straight, or skinny. My friend loves the Torrid jeans. I think they are a lot of the times cut to low. I recently got a couple of pairs from Old Navy and was surprised by how awesome the fit is...specifically this pair...http://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=48663&vid=8&pid=269892&scid=269892002. They come up high enough to avoid muffin top and there is no baggy butt!

Thanks Tyra! Those jeans do look comfy. I haven't heard of the LB jeans, but I swore Nordstrom used to carry that brand.

I'm gonig to look into it. When i was a 14, I wore Joe's Jeans "muse" they were my favorite jeans ever! just don't fit anymore. (I still have them in case i lose weight again).

There is The Avenue or Fashion Bug, which sounds silly but i have been able to find nice ones there.

My issue is a have a little too much junk in the trunk so to say....lol

It depends what syle you like, for me I am tall and I like straight-legged jeans, so I like the ones from Ashley Stewart, they are affordable and I like the look they give my bottom! Good luck on your search

I know exactly what you are going thru!! I've had luck at JCPennys...these are my favorite at the moment! and they are super cheap! $17!!!

Good luck with the search!!

I cry after jean shopping almost every single time! I hate it. I swear jeans are made for size 0 girls and they than just make them wider/longer as the sizes go up so they don't work for any one but the skinny skinny girls!

and i'd like to put an end to the skinny jeans, I love them, but i can't wear them, and I can never find jeans that aren't skinny jeans!

I could rant forever about them but i'll just answer the questions now, I like ricki's jeans ( might only be in Canada though). It seems to be the only place i can occasional find jeans

Jean shopping is the WORST!!!!!!!! I hate it!

Lane Bryant's have always been the best pair I owned!

I love the lane byrant "Seven" jeans. Not all stores carry this line though. I also found a few nice pair at Lord and taylor in the sale rack. Jeans shopping is THE WORST. Lane Bryant is my go to store for most things though.

Lane bryant. no question. They have a new line with tummy control panel in them. I love them!
