Come on Nil, you're too hard on your self, you sound quite lovely and I'm sure you are !

Not sure if this will suit you, but a friend of mine works for Levi's head office. She's advised that they have a new type of jeans with a 'Curve id'. Apparently they promise that they can fit any shape with jeans that are both a good fit and flattering, even for those of us that are rather well endowed in the butt department Next time I'm in the US she's going to get me fitted so I'll be able to let you know if they can fit someone with a big butt and smaller waist

Yeah, it's a great idea, but they only go up to a 32 inch waist regardless of all this "they don't have a size" talk. Levis are great for women who have slimmer legs, at least that was the only brand my "even has skinny legs for a model" model ex-flatmate would buy.

I love jeans but I avoid them.. simples. Have only one pair (Esprit) that I wear in summer with flipflops. I hate the fact that all jeans are way too big at the waist, while the pockets and zipper (may buttons be banished !!) add useless tough fabric to your hips.

I'll scavenge the shops till I drop for dark pants with noooo pockets and a zipper on the side and straight legs (for a really nice trim figure, try a pair with the zipper in the back.. if you can find them)

It's an eye soar to see too tight jeans and low slung jeans with slim fit legs on the average female. Unless you're a teen, or very slim, nobody looks good when the fabric cuts into you and banishes your waist.

Bon bon....

Here is a picture... You will understand that this isn't my actual butt but an general idea of what you won't never see in reel from me...



Sweet! I am a lovely girl! But I also know my body shape and I am not complaining, only about the fact that it is a pain to find something that fit... Like all the girls on this thread!

i'm wondering why the lady has plasters on her butt

Shaving?

Hmm, I wouldn't mind a butt like that... Mine is flat

See? we are never happy with what we have, I would like a flatter butt! So clothes will fit better and I'll look slimmer from the side view.

I could actually take the fat of my butt and injected it into my boobs! That would be awesome! Recycling!

I think it is a picture of a woman who got a brazilian butt implants...

i have a bit of a bubble butt too nil. and so far joe's jeans work well with my tush and solves the small waist problem if they are a low rise or mid. plus i like the colors they have.

Haha absolutely true!

Thing with my figure is is that I'm short wasted and wide. So from the front I look huge and from the side I look like a stick! Not very eye-candyish.

I tend to disagree on the pockets. The first thing I look at when I buy a new pair of jeans is how the pockets look like. If placed well, they can make your bottom look awesome.

I totally agree with that, no pockets on jeans make the butt looks much bigger! (In my case) And for girls with a flat butt, pockets gives illusion of a bit more in the area...

Yup ladies, I agree about the pockets on jeans.... but I wasn't talking about jeans..

Hmm.... I'm all for jeans and rarely wear dress pants. Are those better without pockets?

It's true! You don't wear jeans.

By the way, I found out years ago that the trousers with double opening (not on the center front but on each leg) like the picture below is absolutely wonderful to give an impression of flat stomach!

I totally feel your pain... I have the same problems and usually my solution is to just buy jeans in america (they have ALL sorts of sizes there :P) but more realistically, the best pants ive found here in switzerland that are at least a little bit stylish is at C&A. For "nice" dress pants or something, H&M have a roomy selection but my thighs just do not fit into their jeans!

Try OVERStock.COM! They ship to Switzerland and include tax and duties on the price, so you don't have to deal with invoices after receipt of your items.

Hi yeah I agree the selection of clothing here ain't the best compared to the variety in UK and as you say the sizes are not so giving so not sure if you have any family in UK but before I've bought from ebay UK then had it posted here, bargain. Last dress £10 in ebay bid for a marriage, which I wore here to my brother-in-laws marriage and actually felt a bit overdressed but lot's of people commented on it and I certainly were't paying 300 francs for a dress in C & A.
