I have planned and budgeted for a shopping spree on Friday which I had been looking forward to. However I am now quite stressed as I badly need jeans/cords/tousers whatever for the winter. Have tried on many makes over the past few months and NOTHING FITS!
Been a size 12 for a few years though most 12s very tight round the waist and gave me a real muffin top - had to move towards the more generous makes. Loads of flab round the middle since having kids - but my natural body shape is narrow hipped and not much of a waist.
Anyway have been piling on the pounds, often cant even fasten the 12 and though - why stress - I will just crack and do a 14. But of course they are all comfy at the waist but big baggy and revolting everywhere else. Wondered if anyone could suggest a make or style that is big in the middle but cut fairly neat on the hips.
To complicate matters I go for petite ranges if I can. Don't mind the expense of alterations but it is really difficult to judge how things look if they are far too long for starters.
