Skinny jeans with wider hips

Just tried on my decent going-out jeans, and my hips are mushrooming over the top. Can say the same for most of my jeans now, bearing in mind I got most of them before I had hips to speak of.
So, anybody know of jeans that are size 6-8 on the legs (boot cut or flared) and size 10 on the hips? I cannot stand jeans that don't fit well, and it looks terrible when hips mushroom over the top of trousers.

I think that the OP is complaining that she cannot get a pair of jeans that fit well at bothe the waist and hips. A lot of people have that problem. Well, I know I do.
Not really, it's my hips that are the problem. Although the one pair of jeans I have that go almost as high as my waist fit well there, and then my hips keep pulling the fly open when I move. That can be really embarrassing.
Ahwell, not much help to your dilemma i know, but i sympathise
eta: although skinny jeans are just about the least flattering shape to wear if you have big hips and small legs. they'll make your ankles look like they're about to snap and your hips look mahoooosive.
:sour:
Thats as nasty as the 3xl thongs. There are some clothes that should only be made in certian sizes. (or not at all )
Normal trousers are ok, my mum will take them in, but jeans are too much hassle for her, and she says it's not worth it. :rolleyes:
Oh god I missed the white part in the first post!
And I just ate lunch. Now I"m mad at you
ahhh, totally missed that bit. sorry!
i just noticed the words 'skinny' and 'jeans' together and saw red, as skinny jeans are an abomination (that's my easter bible contribution).
jean legs are just as easy to take in as normal trousers, as long as they have at least one leg seam that looks like this:
and not two that look like this:
:yes:
I have a similar problem, my waist is relatively small and as soon as I find jeans that fit round my hips they are huge on the waist and I have to wear them with a belt to stop them falling down.
It's a bit of a hassle to take jeans in and way too easy to mess up! There are some shops that will do it for you (specialist jeans shops etc) or failing that you could try a local tailor. If they can take in suits and dresses, there's no reason why they can't do the same for jeans. I've no idea how much it would cost, but it'd be worth it for a perfect fit.
Only thing is their prices have rocketed, difficult to find a pair under 100 quid now.
