Try DKNY stretch jeans or Blue Asphalt Jeans! Girl I have some of the same problems too. I am a size double zero, but I have really really, long legs and NO butt. You can also try GAP. Those are my absolute favs! Good Luck!

AlphaGam1019, *lol* OMG are you serious???!!! A fake rip and a BOW?!?!?!?

But I loved to chill in my pair of faded pinstripe Jordache Jeans with my matching Gitano purse! They were hot! (back then)

If anyone else knows any other kind of jeans with a double zero, please let me know!

Have a great night

For people who are trying to find jeans that fit well, try mavi (not too expensive, smaller girls can usually find the right fit). Also, kenneth cole makes jeans that fit really well, and you can usually get them for decent prices at the end of each season.

Tracy,

I too loved Gloria Vander. jeans. I had the ones with a swan stitched in blue on the back plus a matching blue G.V. shirt-I lived in that outfit in 5th grade; I also had a gazzilion Jordache and C.K. jeans. In 8th grade Guess came along and I begged my mom for a pair-she finally got me some for Christmas and I wore them forever. I even wore them through college ( luckily I stayed the same size from middle school to college-that is not the case now at 30

) . Now I prefer Levis, Gap and Express jeans. I have barely any hips or butt so these brands fit me the best.

Before i had no problem finding jeans and actually liked going jeans, pants, shorts, skirt shopping. Now, i hate going in to look for jeans!

I can never find a pair i like. This is my problem, i am short and have short legs, which means i have to get the "ankle" or "short" ones. I dont have big hips, but i dont have a small waist either. The problem with wearing regular jeans is that they are sooo tight on the waist but fit good in the hips. If i get a bigger size, then its baggy in the hips area!

That is why i like jeans that are lower, but dont like the ones that go down too low because like someone else said, i dont want them to see my victoria's secret underware!

Another problem i have are with the bootcut jeans! I think they are cute and look nice on most people but not on me. I dont have fat legs, but they arent stick thin either. I blame this problem on dance classes! My legs got muscular so they are bigger, yet not bulky looking. So when i try on a pair of jeans that are bootcuts, they are incredibly tight on my legs!

I have never tried Lucky Brand jeans, but i think i might want to! Sometimes jeans can get expensive, but i am willing to pay $70 for them because when i find a pair that fit i have to go for it! Presently, I wear Ralph Lauren "Saturday" signature jeans, they were only like 58!

Does anyone else think that nowadays they are making the sizes sooo much smaller??? Recently the times i have gone to the mall and tried on a pair of jeans, i have had to get a size or two bigger, while all the clothes i have at home fit me fine?

I definitely don't have the same jeans problems as the rest of y'all. First of all I most DEFINITELY HAVE A BUTT. DEeeeeefinitely. Clearly. LOL.

So jeans never fit me around the waist that fit around the butt. But here's a kicker. I have been losing weight of late, and my butt has shrunk (some, but not enough that my guy friends have gone into mourning, lol- they are so funny) but my thighs haven't. So now jeans that fit at the thigh don't fit at the butt or at the waist.

I like low riders because I have nice abs and can show em off, but I also don't want anyone knowing what color my panties are.

Add to all this that petite sizes are always a LITTLE too short, but regular sizes (with the exception of MUDD jeans, which I very much appreciate) are way too long it takes WORK to find jeans to fit me!

You are on point with both points.

I love bootcut jeans too, but they are always tight in the thighs, and now to make things even MORE interesting thay are baggy in the butt when they fit in the thigh. It is all very upsetting.

I haven't worn any jeans since I was a teenager, and I'm in my late 30s now. My buttocks are rather large, high-riding and well-rounded, and there's at least 12 inches difference below my waist and my buttocks/hips. And I don't believe in taking jeans to the tailor.

I do like denim skirts, however, if they are tailored and don't look too Westerny (I can't stand Ralph Lauren's spring 2002 line). I used to have a good one from DKNY in the early 90s.

bucutie and lovelyivy---I totally hear you on the bootcut thing. I don't think that being a size 6 is big and yet my legs look awful in most of the bootcut styles. However I did find some Calvin Kleins that fit really well and also a brand called "Silver". My Silver jeans are my favorite pair and they run about $50. When I can find a store around here that carries them I'm going to buy another pair

AXiD4Life · #25 03-15-2002, 09:18 PM

LOL! Guess Jeans with the butt-triangle! Those were the days. That was when I was in about 7th grade. Let's see, what else was popular then...does anyone remember Pepe or Z. Cavaricci?? Or Girbaud? Wow, haven't thought of those brands in awhile!

aggieAXO · #26 03-16-2002, 01:26 AM

Oh I loved Girbaud jeans-I hadn't even thought of these in years, thanks for the memories.

Tracy,

I'll pass on your donation-he he he, Turning 30 has increased my waist and hip size fast enough for me

I don't need help

he he he

My official school uniform is jeans and letters, unless for some reason i'm feeling incredibly dressy. Anywho, I digress. Last summer I was working at newspaper in Santa Cruz, CA. While I was on my lunch break, I went to this designer clearance sale that was being held in the building next door. I tried on this cute pair of jeans that said Earl on the tag, and they fit like a glove. So I bought 3 pairs. Lo and behold, I was opening InStyle Magazine one day when to my surprise I discovered that all kinds of celebs were wearing the same brand of jeans as me, and they paid a fortune!!! Don't hate me too much, but I only paid 40 dollars a pair!!!

Yay!!! I love bargain shopping!!!

12 inches? damn Soror got it like that!

I think your new handle should be "Bunsofsteeltrap"

LOL! Soror, I'm working on that. Still on the three-day a week gym tip, but that's another thread.

I think I may try that Web site that makes custom jeans, if I want them that bad.

My favorite jeans are Gap. My figure flaw is a high, uneven waistline that's not contoured the same in the front as it is in the back. And i have NO ass. The back of my waist is contoured normally, but I carry my weight right in front - so that means were it not for my front midsection, pants would just slide off my butt. Plus, because of my scoliosis, one hip is higher than the other, so my waistline isn't perfectly even. Its not noticable to anyoen but me because stuff that fits right at the waist pulls.

I find that Gap jeans always fit well, even though I usually have to try on a few pairs of the same size to find the perfect pair. Their boot cut jeans are amazing. I have some of the modern boot cut ones as well. They're a lower rise, which I like, but they're supersmall in the thighs - a tiny bit tight on me and i have next to no fat on my legs.
