- My husband recently set me up using a different computer and system, so
- I've had a little trouble lately figuring out how to send messages here.
- I noticed my original post on buying jeans was empty, so let me try
- again here. I think I've got it figured out now!
-
- I was wondering if anyone else had trouble buying jeans. Most jeans seem
- to be styled towards apple-shaped people (carrying weight in their
- abdomen) whereas I'm more pear-shaped (carrying weight in the hips and
- thighs). I found a pair of jeans at Lane Bryant a few years back that
- had elastic sewn into the waistband and these fit me well. Now Lane
- Bryant no longer carries this style (and I've not seen it elsewhere).
- They carry stretch jeans that have no stretch to the waist-- so if I buy
- a size to fit my derierre, I get a waist-line that's rediculously baggy.
-
- I wish I'd have bought more than one pair years ago!
-
- Has anyone seen jeans in stores or catalogs similar to what I'm
- describing? Or does anyone else have similar troubles?
-
- Thanks!
