Jeans for post CS serious overhang?

9 replies

InPursuitOfOblivion · 20/11/2013 18:01

2 CS have left me with a huge apron of flabby, stretch marked skin that is quite apparent in my cheapo Tesco f&f jeans!
Does anyone know of a good pair of jeans that doesn't draw attention to the 'gunt' area?
Price no object, because its got to be cheaper than plastic surgery right?

I'm only 5"4 with short legs too!

Marking my place, because I'd be interested in this too. So far, I've found high waisted jeggings and jeans to be kinder IMHO. They seem to act like a corset and hold it all in if you go for a longer line, looser top. I heart good old MnS jeggings. They have some without buttons that give a nice smooth, non bulky line. Next sometimes have high waisted jeans too. Wearing a cami underneath also helps give a smoother line.

I have found the Next lift and slim jeans quite flattering on the stomach. They are nice and high waisted. Also New Look high waisted skinnies. Both do shorter leg lengths too. Size down as they come up really big.

Lots of people recommend NYDJ so worth a try if money is no object?

I highly recommend NYDJ if money is no object.

Thanks ladies! I was looking at NYDJ and secret salsa or something like that in the same price bracket. So far I'm put of by the description of 'stretch material'. Lycra is not my friend! The reviews are good though.

I love my Levi's in Demi curve with high waist. I'm 16-18 and wear a 33' so I think they are pretty generous. They also do short leg lengths.

My other tip is to wear control pants under everything. Takes a bit of getting used to but I quite like the security of having it all pulled in now!

I bought M&S jeans - Lana Slimboot for my body shape. There are other "shape" types too. They're high waisted & hold their shape well.

They have been a godsend to me for my post-CS x 2 tummy. I've bought several pairs Grin

I'd second trying the next ones - they've got some really flattering ones at the moment

jennimoo · 21/11/2013 07:01

The next ones are good but after one wear seen to really stretch so I recommend buying them VERY tight or they'll be no use for a second wear...

Second vote for New Look high waisted skinnies, they work magic on my flabby overhang.
