Sweet, Janet. ((((HUGS)))). I can't tell you enough how GORGEOUS your body is. Strong, interesting, fit, healthy and beautiful. No wonder Jamie loves it! He should. And rest assured that we all have difficult to fit items. Models too. TRUST ME. It's true.
Question: were you fitting on premium denim only? If so - it has been a nightmare apart from BF styles, flares and culottes. Generally very wide on the waist, very narrow on the legs, short, whiskery, too stretchy and far too distressed. Plus at least 2 sizes smaller than they used to be. My clients definitely wear less premium denim than they used to. Me too.
