Rec | BUYING USED

Rec'd on 👖 WHY DOES IT TAKE MIN. OF 3-4 HOURS FOR A (CURVY) WOMAN TO FIND JEANS???

I'm not a woman but my shape is weird enough to know the struggle. I never had fitting pants until I looked for them used and asked the sellers to measure out the hip and length. It really helps!

Giving in and buying jeans that fit your body in the present moment

I’ve been avoiding buying new jeans mainly because of money and my body ever changing postpartum. I also have no idea what my size actually is because women’s clothing sizes are insane and make no sense and it seemed like too much work. It dawned on me though that I will not in fact be fitting back into my pre-pregnancy jeans before autumn hits like I was able to first time around (I’m not rushing the process either, btw). So, I went to Depop and bought two pairs of different sizes and hoped for the best. I just received one pair and the gods have blessed me. I feel like an actual woman instead of a nugget and the best part is I don’t have to hem them!!! Never in my life would I have sought out a pair of high-rise flare Hollister jeans but it turns out they are exactly what I needed 🙏 Spending the money to find clothes that actually fit you and make you feel good is worth it every time, a lesson I’ll learn over and over and over and over….

buying jeans and cutting them

i have never found a pair of shorts i like, that fit me well, and are comfortable, so i’ve resorted to thrifting jeans i wear for. a few days to make sure i like them and then cutting them into The Perfect Shorts (i like old wranglers best)

Buy too big then Tailor them

I bought second hand Madewell and Banana Republic baggy jeans from Thredup that were too big in the waist but the right amount of baggy in the hips/butt/thighs then took in the waist myself (amateurly). You could also get them professionally tailored. I also always buy 98-100% cotton so they don’t get stretched out after a year. Sometimes I will hand sew an alteration in but fold and not cut the extra fabric that way if I gain weight I can just take the stitches back out!
