Jeans for the curvy of hip...

My jeans are all driving me mental by being too low-rise. I am currently in a pair of New Look straight jeans but the waistband comes to just below my hip bones and they won't stay up over my hips. This means they then dig in underneath my mummy tummy and it sags over the top. Gross. So I reckon I need some jeans which are a bit more high waisted and curve friendly. Any recommendations? I was thinking of the Levi's curvy ones but I'm not sure I can stretch to those on maternity leave especially as I'm trying to lose weight. Thanks in advance!

I am quite curvy and have the same problem.

I am only 5'2" so buy Wallis trousers in longer lengths and shorten the leg, that way I get a much deeper top.

My work trousers that I buy this way all come up to about 1 inch below my natural waist.

Yup, I'm 5ft 3 so similar height. I don't think I've ever bought anything in Wallis, never even crossed my mind to look.

Can you spare an afternoon to trawl through TK Maxx? I got my Levi's curve in there, and there's a load of other brands you could try.

I got my Curve ID in TK Maxx also - about 5 weeks ago. they were £16.99 IIRC.

I love them, but... I bought too big a size (no need to account for extra fir heft of hip/arse I guess! ).
