Jeans for the world's most awkward shape!

I'm 5 foot 4, 58kg, wear only dresses as I have a smallish (26inch) waist but very wide hips (don't have the measurements on me). I have large thighs and short legs. I could think of a few styles that this could work with BUT my hips are box shaped from behind and I have a totally flat bottom! All trousers look terrible on me around the bottom area, even if they're OK from the front. I just love the straight legged/mum Jean looks with trainers but I just look dreadful in them. They just reveal my shape and aren't flattering.

Has anyone solved this problem?

I have weird proportions and the best fitting jeans I own are Levi's. Their sales assistants are usually very clued up on what styles will suit and they're happy to bring umpteen pairs to the changing rooms for you, plus they will do free same-day alterations.

Levi’s curve!!! Made for waists

I agree, I can only wear Levis too and I think the curve range may suit your shape.

You absolutely have to go in and try them on in store though. I only wear Levis so I know my sizing with them, and even then I may need to go up or down a size.

I went recently and must have tried on 10 pairs. They all fit different but I am sure you will find that one pair that works for you. I find their sales assistant so patient, but one ones that helped me had a good eye for what would fit well, so that also really helps.

If you've got the budget try Good American.

What is your actual measurement, OP: bust-waist-hips

waist at smallest, hips at largest.
