Well add to that... In order to get dress pants that fit, I put on
a size 20W (US), with a size 14 (US) belt. I have shape (an hourglass
even, isn't that supposed to be a good thing?). I have hips.
Pants have neither.
Anybody have recommendations for where to get the option of
different measurement proportions between hips and waist?
I've thought about hiring a tailor but if I can mail order stuff that
actually fits that'd be nicer. I'm really having trouble with the
business casual aspect of where I work, 'cause things just don't fit.
