i tried doing a search for this question and didn't see anything, but sorry if this has been asked before....

i really like my legs from about mid-thigh down, and i'd like to try the leggings under a dress look this summer... but my mid section is a bit squishy and every pair that i've tried on, the elastic cuts into my waist and makes the outfit look unsightly. =/ I understand that leggings by definition are supposed to be tight, but does anyone know of any brands that don't do this? (if it matters, i think my waist is about 30" at the point that i wear my pants..)
