I used to wear Bill Blass Jeans but they don't make them the way they used to anymore.

I'm a 12 and I've tried every pair of jeans on in four department stores. Every time the jeans fit in the hip, they were too big in the waist. Lee Jeans are cut for hippier women with a more narrow waist.

It's also difficult to find a great top, because with larger boobs, thinner waist and wider hips... the look can be frumpy if the top isn't tailored to show a smaller waistline.

It's a challenge, that only breast surgery could fix. If I had the bucks, I don't think I'd do it, but it sure would make things easier and honestly, more comfortable.

I can't get below 120 without people saying the same thing, "you look sick", etc. Everyone's body is different. I don't think the number counts. It's proportion and proper fitting that make the world of difference.

I laugh right now while I type this. It's way too late for me to be up and I'm wearing my teens "beanie" hat, my hubs t-shirt and my other kids bathrobe... I'm almost "what not to wear" while typing about fashion on DU! :rofl:
