A long time ago, the Gap used to have white button downs.

I can usually find plain white button shirts at Khols. Or you can find really expensive ones at Macy's.

I've been stewing about this for a while, and now I need new jeans so it's really bugging me again: why does Gap make their "curvy" fit jeans with little pocket flaps and big buttons on the butt?? It's like, thank you, I'm already curvy, I don't need your stupid pocket flaps to accentuate my already overly-accentuated butt, thank you very much! This was last year when I bought jeans there, and I even asked a salesperson about it, and she said all the curvy fits had them, no matter what style. Hopefully this season they make some curvy options without a$$-accentuaters :sp:

OMG!!!! I am totally with you on this one forestroad. I love the curvy fit but hate the pockets on the butt. It is just ugly and accentuates the big butt i already have. We should write to them or start a petition. Hahahaha. I love that you thought the exact same thing. That is why i didn't buy the jeans.

I decided to briefly revive this thread so I could vent a frustration.

Last night I did my measurements to try to figure out what size I am for sure in Gap clothing, and according to the sizing chart on the Gap website, my waist is size 14, my hips are size 6, and my thighs are size 4.

?!?!?!!?!?!?

I was just venting about this in the weekly chat. I just bought 2 pairs of jeans from Gap, different cuts, one pair is a size 12, the other size 10, and they fit exactly the same. The only difference is the 12s have a slightly longer rise and an inch more room in the hip, even though the waistbands are the same.

oooh I hate pants shopping just for this matter. I have a, let's say rounder tummy and hips then my thighs, so if they fit on my tummy area they are too big on my thighs and vis versa. :mad:

and I wont dare wear low rise jeans. oh no, thye have to at least go mid rise. le sigh. . . My sister says I know how to wear my clothes well to hide my weight. compliment? sure.:smug:

I have to wear low rise jeans. I don't even like them. Sadly, my hips are 14 inches bigger than my waist, so nothing else will ever fit. If it can go over my butt, the waist will just be hanging. :(

Also, I am another one living in "in-between" land. I gave up and gave my old jeans to charity and just decided not to get any more until it started to get colder and forced me to. Right now, I'm living in 90+ degree weather with 90% humidity. It is like living in a heated aquarium. Jeans are pretty much out of the question right now unless I want to die of heat exhaustion.

This is an issue for me as well. For example, I have 2 pair of size 12 jeans. They fit me very well and they are the only pants I wear. All my other size 12s are too tight (well, getting less-so, but still.). Now, I lost 3 inches off just my waist as of a week ago. That, in any other realm or world, would probably constitute going down a pant size. But, because my hips are so big, and only lost like 1/2inch or so, they still just fit over the hips and are lose around my waist. I don't think they make pants for people like me. Well, hip huggers. But my hips are so big that they don't make sizes enough for them in hip huggers. So it's kind of frustrating. But I don't mind as of now, I'm just excited I'm losing!

Any pants that are mass made are never going to be sized correctly because of the way they cut the fabrics en mass. You can try on 3 pairs of the same exact "sized" jeans and they will all fit differently. I take several pairs in different sizes and see which fits best.

And I definitely have the too much thighs/butt compared to waist issue going on as well. I will always have to wear a belt I think. SO annoying.

Crazy I wear a size 10 right now and it's big on me? Maybe it's just where you cary the weight.

This is one of the many reasons I'm transitioning out of jeans/pants.

I did that for a while, but they're just too comfy.

I live in stretchy higher waisted pants and leggings most of the time, between that and dresses I'm pretty much set, but I want to pull off low rise and skinny jeans so badly!

I'm allergic to Gap haha, it's Urban Outfitters that mocks me with cute things that don't fit. They're jerks. XS, S, M, and L. Boooo. Well I should fit into more than leggings and shirts in a few weeks/months :)

My 18s fall off when I just walk down the stairs. I would love for 14s to be falling off me :)
