Now that it's getting chilly, I have pulled out my stash of jeans only to find I can't fit into them with my extra baby weight. I've got a butt like Kim Kardashian so need to find something that doesn't give me the truckie bum look :redface:. I hate trying jeans on so please someone give me the heads up on where to look otherwise I will be walking around in the old faithful trakie dacks - not a pretty sight...
I bought a pair of Jag ESPY jeans last year, and I LOVE them!! You can sometimes find them on ebay, because they get better with age.
I love Jay Jay's jeans!!! Im tall so it sux trying to find jeans that are long enough, but jay jay's always are.. plus they are sooo comfortable and fit great. Not to mension are a great price. Would recommend them for sure!
I love Bardot jeans - they are very small sizing, but they are fab - always make your bum look great!
Nicambhar: theres a brand called 'Face Off' which make apple bottom jeans (the flares all the black booty chicks wear lol ) and ive got tonnes of pairs...they have heaps of different styles, diff colour denims and make any size butt look great. and they are pretty cheap like $50 a pair...not sure where they sell them over there but you can probably google them...over here they have them in chicks and unisex fashion boutiques...GL
i have a big bum too, i cant wear face off though... i love Wakee jeans.
Seven for All Mankind jeans are the ones I always fall back on when my tush needs major reconstruction, although I think I'd kill for a Kim K butt any day! Although they're a bit pricey here, you can find great deals overseas, even taking the exchange rate into account, and plus they're jeans and if you're like me you'll live in them during the winter so the actual cost per wear is really low. They do some sort of magical lifting and tightening thing that I have yet to find in any other jeans and I have road-tested quite a few.:redface:
Thanks girls.
BR - umm, I think I may have been too kind in labeling my butt, it don't look as good as hers does :redface:
I've googled the wakee jeans and they look super hot but can't find a store anywhere even close to brisbane the rest are online :doh:. I'll definately need to try them on.
Might take a trip to JAG at chermside today and brave the changerooms.
*sighs* thing is, if the first pair I try on look crap I just give up.
I really love Paige Hill 's jeans. They are an exxy US brand but the quality is all there. I also love my Billabong wide flare jeans, they are out of fashion now so have to resort in finding them on ebay.
I got a pair of Roxy jeans off Ebay and OMG .. they are the best. I haven't been able to fit into them for about a year and a half now though.. LOL
:rofl: thats me and my paige hill ones :rofl::
Im preeeety sure wakee, face off and another brand called stone eagle are all made in the same place...they tend to have similar styles and I always find them together in clothing shops.
There's heaps of face off ones on ebay, I googled and reveiws are mixed, personally I lived in a pair of mine for over a yr, only took them off to wash them and they lasted fine...just don't wear them now cause jeans don't really go with my look these days!! GL
I love Esprit jeans. I have a J-Lo bum (as hubby calls it). Esprit jeans just seems to hug my butt in. Its hard to find the right pair. Just keep on trying different styles.
The one i have on now are a pair of Tommy Hilfiger jeans which i picked up off on Ebay, they tighten up my butt too.
nic- what size (if you dont mind me asking) would you need?
i dont mind buying them and sending them to you...
i like JayJays jeans, i bought two pairs about a year ago, one is stretch (which i HATE, but means i can still wear them while pg!) they were $20 each on the sale table!
i used to have Face Off jeans, i found for the price ($30-$50) they were good value!
RR - see now here's the thing, I am in size 14 atm in most of my clothes ( mainly the bottom and 12 on top ) but when I try jeans on I could be either a 14 or a 16 :redface:.
What I will do is brave the dressing rooms and try some on and try and work out which size I really am. I looked on one website that sells wakee and they didn't have measurements cause that would probably help. Thanks so much for your offer, I will keep it in mind if I can't find anything. I would so luv them though cause they look nice.
KB - is it jay jays that have the different style and also different leg lengths? I can remeber years ago getting a really comfy pair from a jeans shop and didn't even have to take them up.
TD - I luv esprit stuff but every time I go into their shop all they have on the racks is size 6 & 8 :crying:
how about i send you a size 16 and then if they dont fit i can always keep the receipt and exchange them for a 14?
My favourite jeans are Sass & Bide, i got my first pair in 2001 before they were famous. I love the cuts and unique styles. They're pricey but last years, and have great re-sale value. For instance i've sold second hand s&b jeans on ebay for close to what i paid for them!
Apple Bottoms is actually a brand of jeans, the company is owned by Nelly (the rapper):
I found a really nice pair of country road jeans. They are dark denim, have a tiny bit of stretch, and fit really well. they were on the sale rack too for $50. Their size 12 seems to be the equivalent of a size 14, so their 14 would be a 14 - 16.
Also, thanks to a puersuasive sales assistant, I tried on a pair of Saba jeans the other day. They were really nice actually. Really flattering, nice cut, dark denim, and they had size 14. I can be a size 14 - 16 too with a bit of a tum nowdays and both these brands fit well.
You could try DFO too, at the airport.
I love Ksubi,sass and bide and lee
just because they suck me in and make my legs look skinnier :redface:
I have three pairs of Jag ESPY jeans and I wear them every single day (almost, I probably wouldn't wear them to a wedding, depends on how formal it was :lol: ).:
I absolutely cannot recommend them highly enough. :D
Sue – have you found some jeans you like?
I've been wearing JayJay's jeans for years because they're cheap, cut very long in the leg (which I need, I cannot stand jeans that hike up and show my ankles when I sit down, I don't mind at all if they drag on the ground lol), and they do 'in-between' sizes (9, 11 etc instead of just 8, 10, 12, 14 etc)...
My one gripe with them at the moment, which is forcing me out of my comfort zone in search of a different brand, is that they are slightly too low-waisted (I have that little muffin-top and need an extra inch or two in the waistband to cover it up), and that the majority of their bootcut styles (I'm a bit too thick in the torso to get away with skinny jeans, I have very slim legs/hips and bum but no waist and broad shoulders so need the flare in the legs to balance me out or I look ridiculously top-heavy) are a stretch denim rather than that really 'hard' denim with zero give.
Sorry to hijack, Sue, but any recommendations would be most welcome!! :) I hope you've found a good pair to suit you!
I ended up getting a pair of regatta jeans, but have since lost 4kgs, so that was a wasted exercise and a waste of money LOL... am happy with my loss though cause I'm down to a size 14 :dance:.
I dug out a pair of jeans I have only worn once from Sussan's, and they fit like a glove. Am just waiting to at least get to a size 12 to go and buy another pair.
i bought 2 pairs of espirt jeans from the outlet in paddys market when i was on holiday in sydney , but i lost weight too and now they are waaay too big and not even worth getting tailored , i bougght them in a 12 maybe .. and now im a 9 , jeans always stretch so its worth downsizing or going down half a size , i used to work in jeanswest , and i always told that to customers , and the ones that didnt listen always came back to complain as the jeans got too baggy after a few wears ...
but i hate it when jeans are to low , i have big hip and am forever hiking my jeans over my hips as the ride down all the time ..
agh jeans shopping sux , but glad you lost the weight and feel good in some jeans :)
I 100% agree that jeans shopping sux Lea... everytime I do it, the air conditioning in the change room seems to be on boiling point which makes it harder and I just get flustered and give up.
I reckon life would be so much easier if we could punch in our measurements and a computer could just spit out the best pair of jeans for us LOL.
