I already do the thrift shopping, and maybe I
should pull out the old sewing machine one of these weekends. I've debated for and against trying to alter my jeans myself. I got to research that a bit before I decide. I usually wait until the jeans are under $10 before I open my wallet anyway, but I don't know if I could wait now.
Greenteayum, Most of my weight is in my belly, "love" handles, and boobs, which is a bit odd, like a partially inflated volleyball with limbs, haha. I've got no problem comparing sizes, I have one generous size 14 that are on the verge of being comfortable, but I probably should be in a 16, the two I have are just looser than I like. Most of the pants I have now are in the larger sizes though... Ugh! Isn't it horrible trying to find a pair that is long enough for your legs? I found a pair of 16s labeled tall, and those things will stay with me until the end, I swear, even if they are so baggy that they bulge under my belts!
Just because they are the perfect length,
If only there was a brand that catered to the long legged, no butt, big-waisted crowd.
I'm starting to "feel" my hips bones, but I have a few sizes of pants left to lose until I reach my hip-pant-size limit.
Amanda, it sounds like once the baby's out, you'll have some too big pants on your hands. At least you won't have to pick up larger pairs to wear in the meantime!
Miss, I've never been a dress person, but that does sound like a great solution. I'd have to wear spandex shorts under the dress for a while though. These legs aren't used to being nakkid under skirts anymore, I think that ended after my mom stopped putting me in dresses in elementary school,
Maybe I'll try a dress once my thighs stop meeting as I walk,
