I had to respond...I've been searching for more jeans for the last 2 days and tried on probably 20 pair. I bought 2...one I'm taking back, the other I have to have shortened. They're either too loose in the back and have a poof by my waist, too long, too tight in the legs, too loose in the legs, uugghh!! I just want new jeans.

I have this pair of Levis that I LOVE!!!! Well I couldn't find them in the store in my size so I ordered them online from JC Penneys. Well they came today and they are too long. Same size, same jean, too long!!!! I am so mad. I love these jeans. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. I totally feel your pain.

This is why I only buy pants of any kind once or twice a year...especially jeans. I only own two pair of jeans (I don't wear them enough to have more than that) and I'll wear them until they fall apart.

Every pair I try on are too tight in the thighs and if I get them to fit the thighs they are too big in the waist. Trying on a pair of jeans is enough to ruin your whole day!

I'm with ya! It's so painful. The only thing worse is trying on bathing suits!

I hate that! I have to try every pair on even if they are supposed to be the same. Especially Levi's!

I used to feel badly, too, b/c I have very muscular thighs and most jeans that fit in the thigh are way too big in the waist. I got some recommendations off a website called zazu or something like that, and tried on the recommended jeans. I also followed the advice of Stacy & Clinton on What Not To Wear. Now, I actually have three pairs of jeans that look good on me (and weren't a witch to try on). And they were all in the $30 - 40 range, since I refuse to pay a lot for pants I'll only get to wear on weekends.

That is so true, Levis are the most inconsistent jeans for women, drives me nuts!!

Whoever decided that short/petite jeans should also be 'bootcut' should have their head examined. I look like I am melting into a shoeless denim puddle--how is that a good look?

Try on Style & Co. jeans at Macy's. I bought denim capris from their brand and love them! They look and feel great on! The jeans were identical, just longer. The best part is that I had to buy one size smaller than my regular size.

I don't like Levi's jeans. What is it about their jeans that leave "a gap" in the back of the waist. I don't get it. I gave up on them years ago.

I love trying jeans on now! I have lost so much weight...I fit in no more plus sizes!!!
and the funny part, I was not trying to lose! stress....it is a great thing!

It isn't about being a plus size. I'm not overweight and I have had problems finding jeans that fit me right.

 

[drivencrazy]

I dread trying to find jeans that fit... I am on the tall side so all the jeans are high waters.......... I did find a couple of pairs a couple of months ago that fit and are long enough!! But I had to try on like 15 pair to find thoese 2!!

Yeah well, good for you but I'm a size 3 and HATE shopping for jeans so weight has nothing to do with it! The manufacturers all seem to think if you're a small size then you MUST want to dress like a hooch...

 

[LovinPooh]

my areas are upper thighs and butt... nevermind the 'pooch' I got from the kids... I have thanked them repeatedly
I guess when I put it all together, the butt, thighs, and belly... I am screwed!!! LOL!!
The miserable woman at JCPenny didnt help. When she asked me to please make sure I had brought out all the pairs I had tried on... I was like 'lady, they are all right here and you can have them right back'. Ughh.. like the experience didnt suck enough LOL!!
I pretty much gave up today. I'll try on some other brands when the "I hate my body McFlurry" digests and the PMS goes away
PMS+non fitting clothes =

I've lost 70 pounds in the last year and went down 4 sizes and had to go buy new jeans 2 weeks ago. I was DREADING it!

The ones I've found that I love are:

Levi's 515 Bootcut
Levi's 529 Curvy Bootcut - these are my FAVES. I have a little waist for my hip size and these fit wonderfully, no gapping!

I also found some Croft & Barrow ones at Kohl's, bootcut, that are a good fit as well.
