I have been living in the Walmart lee riders- love the tall cut at almost 5'9 I can cufff them- the reg are to short. Get the streach relaxed and you will likely be a 12 there. 17.98 with tax here. I also love the cherokee brand from target- again cheap and in great colors with no elastic!

Got my "trouser jeans" from Lands End today, and I love them! A little wider at the bottom than I'm used to, but they're super comfy. Their other jeans are very heavy. And, I fit in a 22. Yeah!

A clothing designer once told me that the wider leg at the bottom creates a smaller look towards the top!! So a tapered leg or straight leg for a heavy girl is a big no no in the fashion world for what its worth.... ha ha. Needless to say, almost all of my jeans have a slightly wider bottom portion of the leg.

Also, a shoe with a chunk heel makes you look longer and slimmer.

Its so frustrating isnt it? I cant help you all the way from Melbourne but when you find a good fit you stick to it. We have an el cheapo, really tacky, nasty store here called Chain Reaction but boy, they do the best large size jeans - lowish rise, nice bootleg, no nana jeans to be seen. All the way up to size 26. I usually buy an 18 from there, which is obviously the most popular size so when I see them, I buy 2-3 pairs. They're not expensive at all either, which is great.

When I was a teenager, I was a size 16 (US 14) and I couldnt wear jeans for years and years. You just couldnt get them in that size. It sure is better now.

Ordered two pair from Avenue AND a few other goodies, should be here any day now.

Thanks for all the advice. I'll be checking out Walmart and Penneys. I don't like Target they give ya too much trouble when ya take stuff back. My middle name is returnit.
