Measurements all out of whack.. clothes suck!

[Wheetsin 714]

We're within 5 lbs of each other and based on your BMI I'm going to guess we're similar height as well. But I'm shaped differently. I don't know my measurements but my waist is much smaller than my hips (the largest part of my still). In shirts I'm usually 14/16, waist probably 16, but hips 18 or 20. So I get the thing where my waist band floats on something with tight hips, and I have to avoid most longer shirts (e.g. tunics that would go over the hips) because they either fit my top and are way too tight on hips, or fit hips and are sloppy on my top.

Have you trie the new LB sizes? They're far from perfect, but a little better than most things out there. And as much as I hate stretchy clothes, I've been buying stretchy jeans because I can get an all-over fit out of them.

There are some Jeans at Walmart , i SWEAR they are THE MOST Comfy jeans I have owned in my LIFE , and better yet only $19 !!!

Levi Strauss Signature - Women's Mid-Rise Boot-Cut Jeans, Juniper - Wal-Mart

they are the signature series they have several Rises and Lengths. They are "Stretch" But they fit around your hips and Butt and are fiited but not too fited around your legs. I cant explain it they fit PERFECT. The low rise or Med. Rise ones Cut my "fat" apron around my stomach in half so its not as apparent. Ya'll should give them a try , they are usually not hanging up they are on the stands !

I think we are the same height, LB has new sizing?

I get 100% of my pants from alloy.com .. long lengths, and they fit perfectly on me even as I transition. My whole problem is shirts.. I am a size 18-24?-12 going down my torso. I get tired of being asked if I'm pregnant in babydolls..

Laura,

Have you ever tried tall size shirts? Eddie Bauer sells all their stuff in tall sizes, maybe you should try one of their shirts. They are made for us tall girls. I really can't wear anything from a "normal" store. Tall size all the way.
