Since there is stretch in jeans, they tend to gap even more in the waist and she feels like they're sliding down. And you're right. She is growing and growing. She's probably taller than what I originally posted. In a way I'm glad that she's into women's sizes because the clothes that teens and pre-teens are wearing these days make my eyes pop out! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-jeans-that-dont-gap-for-my-curvy-daughter#post-849029 Thu, 14 Feb 2013 16:22:59 +0000 Emily 849029@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Also, this is not an ideal solution (obvs) but since she is young and growing and such, have you tried a belt as a quick fix? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-jeans-that-dont-gap-for-my-curvy-daughter#post-848836 Thu, 14 Feb 2013 12:53:15 +0000 Raisin 848836@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry I don't have much suggestions, but I'm reading through because we are the same weight/height and I have the exact same gapping problem! I haven't found a perfect pair. I usually size for my thighs and then take the waistband in if needed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-jeans-that-dont-gap-for-my-curvy-daughter#post-848835 Thu, 14 Feb 2013 12:49:50 +0000 unfrumped 848835@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Eddie Bauer carries curvy styles. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-jeans-that-dont-gap-for-my-curvy-daughter#post-848805 Thu, 14 Feb 2013 11:57:24 +0000 Thistle 848805@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also swear by Levi's curve ID. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-jeans-that-dont-gap-for-my-curvy-daughter#post-848748 Thu, 14 Feb 2013 07:15:35 +0000 seattleattic 848748@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone! I had not thought about the tailoring. I should do that for myself as well! And I did not think about the Levi's jeans you have mentioned. Are those the ones that came out a few years ago? I don't even know where to buy Levi's these days, but will try Macys. And thanks for the tip on Forever 21. We have never shopped there.</p> <p>Thanks again! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-jeans-that-dont-gap-for-my-curvy-daughter#post-848132 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 19:37:20 +0000 Emily 848132@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've had good luck with Guess, and SIlver Sukis. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-jeans-that-dont-gap-for-my-curvy-daughter#post-847896 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 16:42:56 +0000 JuneBug 847896@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Levis curve id worked for me as well although my curves are more in the hip area. It's the only pair that does not gap anywhere and fits snugly on the legs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-jeans-that-dont-gap-for-my-curvy-daughter#post-847861 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 16:19:08 +0000 Angie 847861@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Having the waistband adjusted to fit is a very easy alteration. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-jeans-that-dont-gap-for-my-curvy-daughter#post-847857 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 16:18:08 +0000 siniestra 847857@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>the 12 bucks skinnies dark color forever 21 they don't bleed like the others just first wash place salt with soap so won't bleed and don't buy the loose one ..buy the one that shows a pouch in the stomach it will strech in two washes ...I bought one time a burgunfy skinny and got a fitted one but the second time i use it i can take it literally out without unbotton haha </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-jeans-that-dont-gap-for-my-curvy-daughter#post-847802 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 15:49:42 +0000 milehighstyle (Linda) 847802@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I second the vote for Levi's curve ID - bold curve may work for her. Mostly I buy them online, but I've found some at Kohl's, I think Macy's may have some too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-jeans-that-dont-gap-for-my-curvy-daughter#post-847555 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 07:58:08 +0000 Kristin SF 847555@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How about American Eagle? </p> <p>If it's a gap in the back that is easily taken in, is that an option?

It works well on me (IT / hourglass).</p> <p>Gap runs sales pretty often, so you can easily scoop one up for 25% off (40% if you can wait for a month or two; it seems to be the highest "regular" discount they'll run. You can go deeper if you wait to stack sales + coupons).</p> <p>It sounds like your daughter is looking for a skinny leg opening, so the money you save on a sale can be applied to a tailor; have them narrow the bootcut opening to a skinny one. Including alterations, you should end up at the high end of your $50-75 range, but still within it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-jeans-that-dont-gap-for-my-curvy-daughter#post-847545 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 07:41:32 +0000 seattleattic 847545@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi all, I've been trying to help my 12-year-old daughter find jeans that fit, and we're having a hard time because of her preferences and body type. She is 5' 5 1/2" and weighs 116 pounds. She has a very round bum and muscular legs from athletics. Her waist is tiny. Common problems when trying on jeans are if they don't gap in the back, they form a pouch in the front or if they don't pouch in the front, they gap in the back! </p> <p>So far I've been able to buy her a pair of Kut From the Kloth jeggings from Nordstrom Rack. I can't afford to spend more than $50-75. We tried Gap jeggings, but they didn't work. We tried on Jag, Old Navy, H&amp;M and various brands at the Rack. She wears a women's size 0 or 2.</p> <p>Any ideas would be appreciated! </p>
