Have You Given Thought to Custom-Made Jeans?

I have a TERRIBLE time finding jeans to fit me properly! And truth be told, probably most women like me who buy jeans off the rack will admit there is always something wrong about the pair of jeans they feel forced to buy, because there is nothing else on the rack, or that is the pair that fits "the best" of the pairs we have tried on. The problem we contend with most are sizing in the seat, hips, thighs and/or waist.
My point of contention with jeans buying stem from these issues:

1.  I am 5'4"-5'5" tall (I say that height because I am in the middle of that height range). Petite sizes run too short, and obviously tall is out of the question, so I am average.
2.  I am straight up and down, with NO hips.
3.  I am thick-waisted, having virtually NO WAIST--even at my thinnest, BC (Before Children), I have no waist.
4.  I have skinny legs, hardly any thighs.
5.  And finally, I have NO BEHIND--never had, never will. All of my weight goes to my torso.

Your "Unhappiness List With Jeans" may look like this or something similar. If I get a fit in one of these areas, you can bet, there is another fit issue in one of the other areas. I come away from the store frustrated and ready to tackel the next girl I walk by, with a little figure and "perfect fit" pair of jeans on her body!

It's not that I am complaining about my body, which admittedly, I do need to lose about 20 pounds or so; but honestly, why can't jeans be made that fit ME, that fit YOU, the way we need them to? Why can't we just have a pair of jeans that fit us so well, we are confident we look nice, when we walk out the door in the morning?

My biggest problem with the jeans I have bought lately, is that if the jeans fit me everyplace when I put them on in the morning, within about 3 hours after I have them on, the waist gaps, and I end-up with my jeans literally falling off of me! (And what's worse, is they end-up somehow, taking my panties with them.) Umm, I don't think they are supposed to do that, and I don't think that qualifies as a "good fit."

I have tried "cheap" jeans, I have tried expensive jeans, and I end-up with the same results. So, in the interest of helping myself and your ladies who identify with me, I have checked some websites which offer custom-made jeans. Now, the ranges in price go from reasonable to the "I'll think about that price," to the "are you crazy?"

Custom-fit is my last ditch effort, before going to the Men's Department or begin wearing dresses and skirts all of the time. Here is an article about custom-made jeans, which offer some sites for you to look at, and finally, below that, I have found what I think is a reasonably price company with a link for you. I am going to give this company a try and see how they do...why not try the most reasonably priced first (they are "Make Your Own Jeans").

Should you decide to order custom-made jeans, or if you have already done so, I would love to hear from you and hear of your experience, so please email me, or leave me a post.

I hope this helped those of you, who like me, love and live in jeans, but are tired of having "The Denim Blues."

Peace to you,
Mysignature
