Complete shape change post-baby and no idea what to wear!

I have always been a fairly muscular pear shape. 5'4, 60kg (9 stone 6ish?), and a size 8-10 on top, 12 on the bottom. Since having DC3&4 (twins) I have lost a hell of a lot of weight and all of the muscle that sat around my bottom and thighs, in particular, has disappeared.

Once the babies are a bit older, I'm planning on getting my fitness back up and regaining that shape, but until then, all my pre-pregnancy clothes just look flat and shapeless (except in the boob area thanks to BFing). I have next to no bottom now, and my legs are almost the same width all the way down, instead of being thigh-heavy.

I've always had a fairly plain wardrobe - I was wearing t-shirts/
jumpers and high rise "mum" jeans, or jeggings most of the time. Sometimes a cami with a sheer top over it. To be honest, I thought this would work fine with my new shape but I can't seem to find the right fit. I spent ages trying on jeans in town over the weekend and I couldn't seem to find any that fitted nicely and didn't look baggy around my thighs/crotch. I don't think it's helping that I've still got my pregnancy hips, making buying sizes smaller than a 10 pretty much impossible.

I suppose I'm looking for advice on dressing my new shape, as my lifetime of dressing for my old one is clearly failing me!
