The biggest issue I have with jeans is the low-rise phenomenon. I'm tall, with plenty of butt and a long waist. Regular jeans fall like low rise on me. It's getting a little better, but for a while you could only find low-rise, ultra low rise, etc. If I find a pair big enough to go over my whole butt, the waist is so extremely large that it causes the denim to pucker oddly when I try to belt it. &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;I do find that a "boot cut" is more tolerant of booty. The flare at the base works to offset broad hips, so the waist/butt of those pants tend to be roomier. Skinny cuts never ever work for me. I've got shirt sleeves with larger circumference than some of those. I've repeatedly had the humiliating dressing room experience of not being able to get the things all the way up over my thighs - even when I picked something that ought to be several "numerical" sizes too big. Ugh. &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;My solution: I switched to skirts.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2291200544675330796/1880205909243992991/comments/default/6598821053502765411'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2291200544675330796/1880205909243992991/comments/default/6598821053502765411'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jumpoffthebridge.com/2008/09/quick-ass-rant.html?showComment=1221687960000#c6598821053502765411' title=''/><author><name>Kekla</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17483824618846300911</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='00284647882129957190'/><gd:image xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_oir5SQreF2k/SMH2rJicuQI/AAAAAAAAAAU/Y8xbY7RGTis/S220/Kekla6.jpg'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://jumpoffthebridge.com/2008/09/quick-ass-rant.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2291200544675330796.post-1880205909243992991' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2291200544675330796/posts/default/1880205909243992991' type='text/html'/><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='blogger.itemClass' value='pid-462750621'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2291200544675330796.post-1004477511156837493</id><published>2008-09-17T17:26:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2008-09-17T17:26:00.000-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Have you tried myshape.com?</title><content type='html'>Have you tried myshape.com?</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2291200544675330796/1880205909243992991/comments/default/1004477511156837493'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2291200544675330796/1880205909243992991/comments/default/1004477511156837493'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jumpoffthebridge.com/2008/09/quick-ass-rant.html?showComment=1221686760000#c1004477511156837493' title=''/><author><name>zakstar</name><uri>http://zakstar.wordpress.com/</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img1.blogblog.com/img/openid16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://jumpoffthebridge.com/2008/09/quick-ass-rant.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2291200544675330796.post-1880205909243992991' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2291200544675330796/posts/default/1880205909243992991' type='text/html'/><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='blogger.itemClass' value='pid-1063196649'/></entry></feed>
