Ashley, if pants fit well everywhere except at the waist, then just take them to a tailor and have them take in the waistband. It's a straightforward alteration. It might work at least with the pants you already have in your closet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pear-or-hourglass-2#post-58239 Thu, 02 Apr 2009 18:27:05 +0000 Sarah 58239@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ashley, I'm usually a budget shopper too. My two pair of favorite jeans were under $100 together. I found them on clearance and at Buffalo Exchange (www.buffaloexchange.com). You can frequently find BR and BCBG trousers on good sale.<br /> I've had some success with INC at Macys for trousers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pear-or-hourglass-2#post-58237 Thu, 02 Apr 2009 18:18:52 +0000 Maya 58237@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ashley, your picture looks big enough to me. Even though it's not a full frontal body shot (that sounds dirty...anyway), I think it's pretty clear that you're an hourglass. I have the opposite body type so I'll let others give you advice on jeans and pants. You seem to have similar measurements and a similar body type to Tanya. Maybe she'll pop in and have some advice for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pear-or-hourglass-2#post-58233 Thu, 02 Apr 2009 18:06:56 +0000 Ashley 58233@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>SarBear, I'm looking specifically for BOTH. </p> <p>And like you, I prefer the higher waist ones too. It just looks and feels a whole lot better plus it accentuates my curves even better!</p> <p>I am on a budget too so I want something within a range where I can buy. </p> <p>Any local department stores that carry jeans for curvy figures? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pear-or-hourglass-2#post-58232 Thu, 02 Apr 2009 17:57:21 +0000 Sarah 58232@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Haha. I should think of that when I take my photos!<br /> Are you looking for trousers or jeans, specifically? I like BCBG Max Azria trousers and Banana Republic's Jackson fit trousers. These are made for us curvy girls! (I'm an hourglass with pear tendancies.)<br /> For jeans, I'm happiest with a higher rise. My current favorite fits are 7FAM High Rise bootcut, and Citizens of Humanity in the Hutton fit (the ones I'm wearing in today's blog post). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pear-or-hourglass-2#post-58231 Thu, 02 Apr 2009 17:54:15 +0000 Ashley 58231@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I didn't cut my hips off, I just blurred out the room because I didn't clean it yet...haha. </p> <p>My measurements are 36.5(shoulders), 25.5(waist) and 36(hips). My thighs are 21.5. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pear-or-hourglass-2#post-58230 Thu, 02 Apr 2009 17:47:27 +0000 Sarah 58230@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>From what I can see, I vote hourglass. The photo is large enough, but it's really difficult to be 100% without a full body shot. You can always white out your face if you're more comfortable that way. It almost looks like the photo is cropped a bit on either side, so I'm not sure if your hips are cut off or not. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pear-or-hourglass-2#post-58224 Thu, 02 Apr 2009 17:14:13 +0000 Ashley 58224@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't seem to upload it any bigger than it is... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pear-or-hourglass-2#post-58217 Thu, 02 Apr 2009 16:35:43 +0000 Lee Hovey 58217@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's tought to say because it's such a small picture, and it's not a full body shot. But from what I could see it looks like your shoulders are just as wide as your hips which would make you hourglass I believe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pear-or-hourglass-2#post-58205 Thu, 02 Apr 2009 15:44:46 +0000 Ashley 58205@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Do I tend toward a Pear or Hourglass shape? And ladies, could you recommend jeans and/or pants that don't gape at the waist? It's a killer finding something that fits me! </p> <p><a href="http://i629.photobucket.com/albums/uu13/xXCynXx_81/anatomy.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i629.photobucket.com/al.....natomy.jpg</a> </p>
