Can any of you ladies help me?
I'm a very defined hourglass shape...tiny waist, big a**e, big boobs. When I was heavier I was just wearing men's shirts and (UK) size 18/20 trousers because the fat in front was keeping them up. Now I'm losing weight and going to the gym my natural shape has reappeared with a vengeance and I cannot find trousers to fit!
Everything I have slips down because my waist is small and my stomach is a lot flatter than the typical for my size (now UK 14) as I do so much abs work. Smaller sizing isn't the answer as they don't fit over the Butt of Doom which I still possess. I am a 14, not a 12 (yet) or a 10 (goal) and those sizes don't fit over hips and the aforementioned butt. I spend all day yanking my trousers up to maintain some semblance of decency, and my co workers have had a good look at my underwear more times than I care to count.
So I suffer constantly from builder's bum. I've tried belts. They don't make belts which go small enough around the waist. I've even tried a piece of string. It wasn't a good look.
I now have one pair of trousers which are still far too big but don't suffer from slippage. They are jeans which I wear constantly. My boss is also on a weightloss journey and my workplace is quite easygoing so I'm cleared to wear jeans for work, but I have a job interview coming up. If I get the job I will need to dress in a businesslike way which means trouser suits. I also need to find something wearable for the interview.
(I have the same trouble with skirts but it's easier to camouflage!)
Can anyone here help me? What trouser cuts would be best to disguise my weird shape? UK shoppers with the same problem, any tips? Does anyone else suffer from "builder's bum" and how do you deal with it?
