I'm 5'9" and they definitely come up to my belly button and are long enough for me. I have a hard time pulling them up over my rear end, but once I do, they definitely suck me in, instead of creating a muffin top. That stinks they don't work for you!</p> <p>@simplyfelicity: That's so weird that the Mavys vs Amazon were different. I got mine from Macy's, as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jeans-for-my-mom-belly-help/page/2#post-2523257 Wed, 13 Apr 2016 09:31:00 +0000 simplyfelicity 2523257@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yoursilverlining: Yeah, you definitely need to size down in these. I think their sizing runs a bit big and they do stretch out a little by the end of the day. But not nearly bad as ON saggy diaper though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jeans-for-my-mom-belly-help/page/2#post-2523252 Wed, 13 Apr 2016 09:29:59 +0000 simplyfelicity 2523252@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anagram: I forgot to mention that I hands down prefer the ones I got at Macy's vs the amazon ones. The ones from amazon don't do a great job of sucking me in and are more baggy. I wear them when I "have to. " honestly, I wish I hadn't kept them but I assumed they were the same fit since they are the same style, etc and washed them. :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jeans-for-my-mom-belly-help/page/2#post-2523240 Wed, 13 Apr 2016 09:20:46 +0000 simplyfelicity 2523240@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anagram: That sucks! Jean shopping is so frustrating. I am more of an hourglass/pear so that's probably why they work for me. I hope you find your HG jeans soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jeans-for-my-mom-belly-help/page/2#post-2523223 Wed, 13 Apr 2016 09:08:07 +0000 Anagram 2523223@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@simplyfelicity: Nora. I'm kind of between sizes, so I sized down to the smaller of the two--but sizing down more would just cause more muffin top. They were just ill fitting for my shape, I guess. The inside of the thighs literally gaped out and the butt was just....baggy. And then the waist was too tight (not uncomfortable, just caused muffin top).. I guess for more pear shaped people.</p> <p>Just looked at my history and I ordered the Nora AND the Chandler, and neither fit. I think the CHandler was slightly better but still not good.</p> <p>And I ordered the Democracy ponte pants and those were terrible--short and mid rise rather than high rise and generally unflattering on me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jeans-for-my-mom-belly-help/page/2#post-2523219 Wed, 13 Apr 2016 09:01:22 +0000 yoursilverlining 2523219@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@simplyfelicity: A few weeks ago I found a pair of Jag jeans on clearance at Nordstrom and bought them and I like them. They seem like they kind of get saggy quick though (??) - did you have this experience? Maybe they are just a bit big on me (?). </p> <p>They hit right at/above my belly button and hold everything in nicely and create a very streamlined/smooth silhouette and they are VERY comfortable, which I like. I'd more another pair. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jeans-for-my-mom-belly-help#post-2523218 Wed, 13 Apr 2016 09:00:36 +0000 Mamaof2 2523218@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snowjewelz: awesome! and you cant beat the price!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jeans-for-my-mom-belly-help#post-2523215 Wed, 13 Apr 2016 08:57:04 +0000 simplyfelicity 2523215@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anagram: How weird! What style did you buy? Did you size down? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jeans-for-my-mom-belly-help#post-2523212 Wed, 13 Apr 2016 08:53:50 +0000 Anagram 2523212@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@simplyfelicity: it's so weird because in those pictures, the pants come up over the belly button, but on me the pants ended 1.5 inches below the belly button, just perfect for creating some muffin top. I'm not particularly high waisted, either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jeans-for-my-mom-belly-help#post-2523209 Wed, 13 Apr 2016 08:52:15 +0000 Anagram 2523209@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Okay, so I ordered 2 pairs of JAG jeans and they were awful awful awful on me. More mid-rise than high rise and just fit weird--I think they are more for pear shaped people because the waist still caused a muffin top and the butt and thighs were too big for skinny jeans. They weren't really skinny at all--kind of straight fit and an inch or two too short. Just not for my body type, I guess.</p> <p>Then I ordered some NYDJ jeans (the super skinny high rise) and they were better, still not great. I haven't returned them yet and am keeping them in case I can't find anything better. However, the NYDJ black ponte skinny pants are cute and I'm keeping them. <a href="http://www.amazon.com/NYDJ-Womens-Jodie-Ponte-Legging/dp/B007IRAOH2/ref=pd_sim_193_9?ie=UTF8&#038;dpID=31mskHuto6L&#038;dpSrc=sims&#038;preST=_AC_UL200_SR154%2C200_&#038;refRID=03BHSABH24RACJ1Q6YP8" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/NYDJ-Womens-Jodie-Ponte-Legging/dp/B007IRAOH2/ref=pd_sim_193_9?ie=UTF8&#038;dpID=31mskHuto6L&#038;dpSrc=sims&#038;preST=_AC_UL200_SR154%2C200_&#038;refRID=03BHSABH24RACJ1Q6YP8</a></p> <p>So, I'm still searching for great high-rise skinny jeans for a more straight or apple-shaped body. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jeans-for-my-mom-belly-help#post-2523199 Wed, 13 Apr 2016 08:45:06 +0000 maddyz 2523199@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was wearing Jcrew high rise jeans post baby.

I'm only 5'2 and I think they're supposed to be a crop fit but they're perfect length for me. I like that they're not jeggings or skinny (and don't have a ton of stretch) but they're still pretty slim and mid-rise. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jeans-for-my-mom-belly-help#post-2522303 Tue, 12 Apr 2016 10:38:50 +0000 snowjewelz 2522303@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: I meant to find this thread to to tell you I got a few pair of these Walmart jeans. I like them a lot! Stretchy but thick, very jean like, and yes the stretchy waistband goes just above my belly button to contain the muffin top! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jeans-for-my-mom-belly-help#post-2522276 Tue, 12 Apr 2016 10:19:34 +0000 ValentineMommy 2522276@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@simplyfelicity: Dear Lord, woman. I took your advice and got a pair of Jag jeans. In love does not properly describe how I feel about these jeans! Thanks for the recommendation!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jeans-for-my-mom-belly-help#post-2503413 Tue, 22 Mar 2016 15:10:02 +0000 yoursilverlining 2503413@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>High-rise really makes a difference. I'll have to check out some of the brands mentioned in this thread - the ones I've found I like that suck in the muffin and keep you smooth and not lumpy are Hue leggings with the wide-waistband, Strom jeans (got at Nordstrom) and NYDJ. The NYJD are REALLY vanity sized, so you order down about 2 sizes from what you actually wear. </p> <p>The Hue are jeggings but Strom and NYDJ are "real jeans" in bootcut/etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jeans-for-my-mom-belly-help#post-2503395 Tue, 22 Mar 2016 15:04:38 +0000 Boogs 2503395@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: And they make petite! Bonus points right there. It's like a throwback seeing that brand, I used to have Jordache jeans in the 80s or 90s lol.</p> <p>@simplyfelicity: It's always so helpful to see real people as models!</p> <p>@looch: I'm short, so that's great to know!</p> <p>@jmr0808: I'm petite also, so please let us know when you find a winner. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jeans-for-my-mom-belly-help#post-2503390 Tue, 22 Mar 2016 15:02:26 +0000 jetsa 2503390@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Oatmeal: they're on clearance and only available in 00 :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jeans-for-my-mom-belly-help#post-2503324 Tue, 22 Mar 2016 14:37:35 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 2503324@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jetsa: yes! I've found that Old Navy 'Flirt' jeans are great- boot cut, mid rise to cover a muffin top, and really reasonably priced<br /> .@simplyfelicity: I need to try and find these in Canada- they look awesome! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jeans-for-my-mom-belly-help#post-2503305 Tue, 22 Mar 2016 14:25:15 +0000 simplyfelicity 2503305@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jmr0808: Jag is available in petites!
