I just posted pics of me in a bikini in the Body Type forum. Maybe I'm not an apple... I don't know. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-pant-fit-help-for-an-apple-type#post-101004 Wed, 14 Oct 2009 02:54:54 +0000 elpgal 101004@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have the same problem. I like wearing pants with a slightly lower rise so the belly that spills over can hang over the waistband instead of being trapped (sorry for the image I am painting here!). </p> <p>I have a pair of low-rise ponte pants with a stretchy waist that are pretty comfy. For lounging and running errands, I wear pants with a fold-over waist. I recently tried some high-spandex content pants from Athleta that were pretty comfy.</p> <p>Re. jeans, I have no good suggestions. I was planning to try some premium denim made of '4-way stretch' fabric with the hope that those might offer more stretch without the sag. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-pant-fit-help-for-an-apple-type#post-100974 Tue, 13 Oct 2009 22:01:42 +0000 marianna 100974@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Are you sure you're an apple?! I don't see much of a tummy in that picture. I'm so used to wearing pants that maybe I've just become immune to the feeling. I'm not sure.</p> <p>I guess I'm not much help... I hope someone else will chime in! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-pant-fit-help-for-an-apple-type#post-100959 Tue, 13 Oct 2009 20:01:15 +0000 bitsofpieces 100959@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am pretty sure... as in general I am more likely to buy my clothes too big rather than too small (always trying to hide something). Here's a pic of me in jeans: <a href="http://bitsofpieces.wordpress.com/2009/04/10/mom-on-the-go-outfit/" rel="nofollow">http://bitsofpieces.wordpress......go-outfit/</a></p> <p>I hate the feeling of my pants being too tight around my stomach... although good posture seems to help a bit. But then I look very unnatural. Just not sure what to do. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-pant-fit-help-for-an-apple-type#post-100917 Tue, 13 Oct 2009 17:37:43 +0000 marianna 100917@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm... I suppose I have this problem too but I don't pay any attention to it. I think with our apple belly, the moment we sit down, our "pouch" is going to spill over regardless. I guess I am just used to it. Are you sure you're not buying your pants too small? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-pant-fit-help-for-an-apple-type#post-100875 Tue, 13 Oct 2009 14:43:32 +0000 bitsofpieces 100875@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My jeans usually fit ok when I'm standing, but as soon as I sit down they constrict uncomfortably around my tummy! (I buy some with a little stretch, too.) What's an apple-shaped gal to do? </p>
