Some of my friends have theirs altered but I just can't see spending the money on a seamstress. I love wearing jeans but I have such a hard time finding one that fits right.

I think jeans and swimsuits are the worst to try to find. Check around to see if there is a plus-size consignment shop in your area. There's usually a large selection and the clothes are fairly inexpensive, compared to new retail . The plus-size designer items are also more fully cut and roomier than less expensive clothing. You will be able to consign items that are now too large and find nice looking items that you can wear now and consign later. Also be careful around sale racks! A clothing store owner once told me that the # 1 reason an item ends up on a sale rack is that the clothing size tag was incorrectly sewn in at the factory. My experience is similar to yours.

I tried trousers, straight legs, boot cut, and flares in red, yellow, and blue, in petite and average. The sales girls were nice and even ordered through their mail service--had to return them. Problems. I went up a size and down a size. 4? 5? Fantasy. In one I couldn't zip up the zipper. In the other they fell to my hips LB, please bring back classic cut. Meanwhile, my skinny ass daughter went to Fashion Bug and grabbed me a pair off the rack short, 4, yellow, straight leg. Now I have jeans I can wear. Thanks, kid.
