ROFL Trish

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
