I second that. And if you arn't afraid to spend some money on jeans go for the Silver brand jeans. They are all I wear.

I have luck with Torrid as well.
Honestly, i have a very small rear-end, so I'm always baggy in the butt/thighs and feel too tight on my thighs.

Thank goodness for dresses

I love my Lee Comfort Waistband jeans I bought from Kohl's. They are straight legged and look really nice when dressed up with a fancier shirt.

L.E.I jeans are my fave, but I haven't been able to find them in a while. The right fit jeans at Fashion Bug are great. A lot cheaper than Lane Bryant, and I think they even look better. I have NO hips so it's great that they make bigger jeans without having the extra hip space -- that's where all my problems come from as far as jean shopping.

I have to put my vote in for The Flirt jeans from Old Navy. I find even the "short" length is a touch too long, but I can deal with that for now. They're a medium rise, so they don't show my undies but make my torso appear longer.

That had not been my experience so I went back to Zafu and they did as you say and asked me for credit card info and $20. I did not give them $20 and did not give them credit card info . Guess what they sent me jeans info for my particualr shape,be email! They sent several suggestions. They are well worth the time to fill out the questionnnaire.

I don't know why I got nothing via email then, I did fill it all out but got nothing. Ah well. I think there are other sites that do this also, but give results right on the page. I came across one or two when I googled. It's a good idea!

I also had an epiphany that one problem with my jeans is the waist is too high and the way I am shaped, when I am standing the waist is perfect, even loose, but when I sit they cut into my stomach and I can't eat anything comfortably. So I am going to try a lower waist. Problem with lower waists I have tried is, when I sit, my, uh, backside gets a little too breezy...

They make something called a contoured waist, which is designed to ride higher in the back for this very reason.

It was a second email that gave me the info. I had previously gotten it on the site, so guess they have changed their policy, but I did get what I wanted. What are the other sites that do give results on the page ?

Fashion Bug and Lane Bryant are owned by the same people. Kind of funny that they sell the same jeans at different prices lol

The best jeans I got recently were Relativity & they were from Boston Store. To have other women tell you your butt looks good in jeans is awesome!

You can make up for the bum breeze by wearing longer t-shirts, too. LOL

I just ordered some Levis that are made for people with bigger waists and smaller hips, butt, and thighs. I'll let you know when they get here how they are! They are called 590's for fuller waists.
