jeans??

I would suggest higher waisted jeans, or maybe go a bigger size in the waist (with a belt pehaps). Wearing looser longer tops is a good idea too.

Also I think it depends on the brand of jeans. For exapmle, I can't wear Levi jeans as they don't fit my body shape, but I can wear Lee and Jag jeans.

Good Luck

Hey Gracie,

I can highly recommend the "espy" jeans from JAG. They are around the $100 mark but you can often find them @ 30% off. I wear them every single day, I have two pairs, I wear one for two days then the other for two days. They come in a few different shades of denim. They are not too high (not grandma style) and not too low (so no muffin top) and they cover my bum well, which seems to have got bigger lately??? Dunno how that happened?

ETA: Oh, and the espy comes in those in-between sizes too, like 9, 11, 13. The 13 fit me perfectly and just seem so much nicer, when you really know you're not a 12 anymore but you're not at 14 either (yet... ).

I was so sad to give away some of my jeans that I just cannot fit into after baby no 2. The tummy just won't go back to where it was!!!!!!

I went to Jeanswest and tried on about 10 pairs and even though they had size 9 (I was 8 before 2nd pg) and none looked right. I ended up at Sussans and they are so comfortable. They are stretch, so make sure you buy the ones that only just fit because they really do stretch. I couldn't get the size 8 done up, but the 9 feels too big after wearing them only once.

Goodluck and happy shopping

Don't say that Molly!!!

I'm fitting into my Giordano jeans right now, which are stretchy. I find their pants can be a bit hit and miss (well, most stores are hit and miss for jeans, since different styles suit people differently hey) but if you're at the shops and wander past a Giordano, it might be worth popping in for 5 mins?

You'd better report back when you find some jeans you like (pics even if you're brave!), to help the rest of us in our quest for awesome jeans! I'm just waiting for a bit more weight to drop off before I invest, so I'll be lazy and let you do my groundwork. :P
