Women whose jeans are too big in the rise

Hope this helps!

What if you are all of the above?

[JJety]

Then there's only 1 solution.  A mumu.

[cugirl]

LOL...you got a big butt and a flat butt?? Can you send me a pic?  lol

[JJety]

I think that would make it look like a giant square.  Right?

[peekawho]

That's me.  A giant square.

Not sure even a mummu would work.

ewwwww, i never watch opera, and happened to accidently put it on that channel, boy am i glad! That was some good advice!

I think that topic was also covered this month (or possibly last month) in her magazine.

Incidentally, as long as clothing fits and I mean isn't too tight and isn't too baggy, the most unlikely body styles can look just fine.  I used to costume plays, and my actors would always be self-conscious about this body part or that body part, yet it was largely just a matter of fitting, and of strategic hemlines, to make a person look normal (and how they like to look).  

Good luck!

p.s. -- With the muumuu, don't forget the knee-high nylons.

.....along with opened-toed sandals :)

And don't shave those hairy toes...the fuzzy look is IN this winter!!!

[lucylocket2]

Thanks for the info. I'll check the link. Every pair of jeans i have has something wrong with them. They just don't fit right, and that darn dryer keeps shrikin'em!!

I watched it!  I am wearing the wrong jeans and the wrong bra I guess.  OOPS!  And I thought I was careful!

[AnotherKatie]

I am getting so tired of that show being re-run about 17 times.  Most of the jeans and bras she talks about are really expensive too, and sold in those snotty exclusive stores!  
I get my jeans in K-Mart or Wal-Mart!
Sometimes I feel like she is up there with Tom Cruise and the super wealthy and she forgets when she had no money.

[lucylocket2]

I understand totaly. Maybe that's why us po folk can't find the right jeans. My friend told me that oprah said to have thenm altered. Like pay someone to make them fit us. lol yeah, right.
Every pair i get fit's wrong!!!I have a lil' tiny butt, HUGE  love handles, that WILL NOT GO AWAY!!. I have worked my butt off and can't get rid of the tire around me. Why? I'm so aggrivated! I need jeans to fix all that. I want a pair that's not tight in the waist and won't make my rolls fall over the button.. Is that too much to ask for??

[AnotherKatie]

Exactly!  They are all cut so skimpy around the waist, it drives me crazy.  The alternative is the really ugly "mom" jeans (yeah that I wear).  
My muffin top drips over too, wow so attractive!

[AnnieBrooke]

Have you tried men's jeans in a small size?  They cut certain brands especially for the littler-butted love-handled guy.  I look pretty good in my husband's jeans (when not pregnant, LOL).  Annie
