Big waisted trousers?

Have a look on local sites where your likely to find a dressmaker. Have them made to fit you

Try Yoursclothing.co.uk

Try Robell trousers. They are a generous fit and you may have to go down a size. Their Marie make is a generous fit and seem to fit at the waist without swamping you everywhere else.

Maternity jeans and trousers could work.
My daughter wore hers post partum and they looked great.

Try Curvissa

Balls di notti have various style for different shapes but v expensive. I have same problem and have bought v cheap straight leg jeans from Sainsburys which have big waist but nice fit round bottom and thighs.

Sorry Bella not Balls!

You could get a sewing machine or learn to use that one at the back of the cupboard! Making trousers from scratch isn't all that difficult and you have the pleasure of choosing your fabric. (Altering the waistband of a bought pair requires more advanced skill and extra fabric.)

I always had a 'boyish' figure i.e. straight up and down, no defined waist so I was astonished to discover my waist and to find my rounded back/shoulders was caused by fat rather than poor posture. I did it by 5:2 fasting. It works and you're only hungry on two days a week.

Try Bon Marche. They have straight legged jeans not in heavy denim with stretch waists.

Thank you for your suggestions. I have ordered some trousers to try and will let you know if they fit!

Thanks again for your suggestions. I have bought John Lewis linen crops and linen straight legs- excellent fit and stylish cut. Also straight leg jeans from John Lewis and M and S. Wonderful! Following six months of debilitating ill-health, I feel on the road to being a new woman.

I have a problem with waists being too big and I'm fed up with altering RTW trousers and have gone back to making them. I'm convinced that they are fitting them on people built like milk bottles!

Susie42, just saw your post.
I hadn't thought of myself as a milk bottle, but I am happy to go with that! Please list all these clothing brands with big waists! They sound just the answer to my prayers.

these days I like high waist trousers and with Riverdale southside serpents jacket

I buy elasticated stretchy waist trousers for that reason. I find that I can wear size 16 if the waist is stretchy. Usually these are pull on trousers.

I can't understand why all my trousers are a size smaller than my skirts. Skirts the same size are much too small. All different makes but the same problem. Hate returning things so roll on the day changing rooms open

I have a large waist and a tiny bottom sat upon skinny legs. I have bought maternity jeans but also wear hipsters with longer shirts to get around the problem. I have large shoulders as well so anything closer fitting looks odd too. I don't know where I got my frame from...my sisters are more of an hour glass shape and, although several sizes bigger, look far better in their clothes than me!

Have just come across this thread and glad to know I'm not alone. Making my own is out of the question as am partially sighted, not that I was much good at sewing when I could see.
I'm long waisted with a midriff bulge that doesn't respond to any amount of dieting, my backside just gets smaller and makes the problem more pronounced. I shall be trying all your suggestions, would love to look a little more stylish despite having to wear extra wide, extra deep lace up shoes that look like old fashioned school shoes.

I recently got some comfy jeans from Damart.
