    Have you tried autograph jeans? Quite stylish.
    Or I like the ultimate jeans from katies- elastic waistband, so no muffin top.
    I have 1 pair of jeans from city chic- but there a little too skinny in the leg for my liking.


    HTH
    Just wanted to add- I still look like I'm pregnant with the tops that are out at the moment, so I fully understand!

    Yep ill join the club too. I have to wear shapewear to suck in some fat so i can wear nice clothes so i atleast have some shape. I spent about $100 on clothes from kmart. I got some really nice tops and wear them with leggings and jeans. I found the most awesome pair of jeans from kmart too! usually the clothes there look hideous on me but nope they look really good and actually cover my love handles and bum.

    Do you have a city chic near you? they are very stylish clothes for us curvy gals

    I have skinny legs, a bigger belly and no bum. So pants just fall off if I buy ones that fit my waist. And if i buy smaller ones, I just get a huge muffin top spilling over the sides. Ewww. Tights are my friend

    In the same here. Can be a real struggle most of the time, but can then a bonus at occasionally. At Target being 16-18 means I have 2 clothing ranges to pick from, the normal and Moda. I find the Target jeans to be pretty good, just have to remember to grab short length. I want to try on the Autograph ones, but don't want all that embroidery on the back pockets (yes my bum is big, let's not highlight it with bling). I have been told that Autograph now have a younger buyer, so more clothes should more our age group than for the over 60 market.

    Struggling with pantyhose at the moment. To big for normal and too small for the plus sizes.

    Have you tried Target's 'my boyfriends' jeans? I am a 14 usually in jeans, big bum/thighs and smaller size 12 waist and I comfortably fit a 12 in these as they have a baggier seat and thighs.
    I am finding I like the Big W new range of ladies clothing at the moment, but for the life of me can't recal the name!
