Jeans problem big tum flat bum

18 replies

musttidyupmusttidyup · 28/03/2012 21:25

I am an apple. I have no bum to keep up a pair of jeans and no waist and big tummy. I like skinnies and legs are good so usually have super skinnies to get a good fit in the leg. I spend the whole bloody day hoiking up my jeans as they've fallen down. They would go right under my arse and down my ankles if I wasn't vigilant. If I wear a belt I get a major muffin top.
It's driving me crazy. Help. Please.

Levis BoldCurve Skinnies. I have the same body shape as you exactly - good legs, small bum but no waist whatsoever and a big tummy. The Levi ones are far from cheap but really help with the whole belt/muffin top or no belt/jeans falling down thing.

What style dress suits you jenny? I'm a 14-16 and quite busty and only just considering dresses following weight loss...

Hassled I just came on to recommend the levi demi curve skinnies. I'm a classic apple, no waist, big tum, no bum but great legs. I'm a 12-14 and got a 12 in these as they are very stretchy the waist is high enough to avout muffin top. I only got them a couple of weeks ago, expensive but worth it!

No advice, but watching with interest. I solved this problem with leggings and long tunics / shortish day dresses.

bran I'm a 14 for bottoms but can get in a dp 12 but always buy much bigger on top 16-18 to cover tummy area. Boobs are 34F.
I'll have a look at the Levi's hassled thanks.

I'm about the same size. Usually just something with a highish defined waist. There are loads in the shops just now. Joy looks quite good, new look is good at my end of the budget scale. I'm on my phone just now so can't link, but there's quite a good thread on s&b for folk who are ditching jeans for frocks during the day.

Wear your jeans back to front? Smile

marriednotdead · 28/03/2012 22:46

High waisted are the way to go, I'm the same shape as you.

Got a fab pair of navy skinnies from Next recently, also available in bottle green. Only £26 and all day without hoiking Grin

I find Next skinnies fall down all the time

musttidyupmusttidyup · 01/04/2012 19:33

Me too. Got some lovely super skinnies from next and they are not as bad as some I've had but do have to keep yanking them up high and don't want to end up with camel toe Grin

Levi Demi Curves are great but definitely size down, they do stretch

amothersplaceisinthewrong · 01/04/2012 19:36

What is camel toe - I came accross this expression in The Times magazine today - I know it relates to the groin area but no more...

musttidyupmusttidyup · 01/04/2012 20:32

Right amothersplace this requires either
A) your imagination or
B) a mirror and a tight pair or trousers
Pull em up- real high - now look and see if anything resembles a...erm.... Camel's foot?
That's cameltoe Grin
