Jeans for wide hips that won't end up gapping at the back please - help

I've lost a lot of weight recently and have finally conceded that I need to get some new jeans as my old ones are just far too baggy now and are beginning to look daft pulled in by my belt.

I went into Next as their petite jeans have always been a good fit for me in the past and was thrilled to find that the size 8's fitted - at least around my hips, when they got up to my waist, they were fairly lose with a huge gap at the bottom of my back that I could easily get a hand down.

I hate clothes shopping and the thought of going from shop to shop with 2 year old DD in tow getting more and more bored by the second does not appeal at all so I thought I'd ask on here if anyone can suggest somewhere where I might find jeans that might fit better?

They need to be fairly cheap and with a high-ish waist as I still have a very wobbly tummy thanks to all the stretched out skin my pregnancies have left me with and it will just hang over the top of lower cut jeans no matter how much weight I lose.

Any help would be very much appreciated. I still go shopping assuming I'm fat and it's making finding things to suit my new shape quite hard.

Yep, same as me.

Yoga helped a lot with standing but I couldnt do some of the floor positions.

Just looked up lordosis and it does seem to fit. I get lots of lower back pain to the point where it's painful to walk sometimes. I used to get it more when I worked and spent a lot of time sat in a chair. I find sitting much more comfortable when my knees are pulled up too.

What did you do to relieve it?
