I'm about 5ft 3, vary between a size 12 and 14 depending on brand and just want a decent ordinary pair of black trousers (not leggings or jeans) for work. Nothing too tight, nothing too low rise. How hard can that be?
As it turns out, practically impossible. I'm short for a start. I have thunder thighs (well, tree trunk legs all the way down actually) and a lower tummy that can best be described as, er, ridged (if you've ever had a c-section you know what I mean) so most of them cling in the wrong places. I tried a pair on that fitted on the waist and on the bum but bagged up around the tummy and clung on the thighs. I've tried all sorts of shapes as well and I'm at my wits end. I feel like a freak. The weird thing is I can normally find jeans to fit quite easily. Why? 
Please reassure or point me in the right direction. I can't be the only one finding this a nightmare!
