What brand of pants/jeans for woman with big booty and tiny waist

I am spending the day with my Mom tomorrow and she usually hates clothes shopping because of her body type.  She asked if we could go shopping for pants for her (I am super hyped that she wants to go with me) and I wanted to get some recommendations for brands/styles that might work for her.  She is about 5'5" and probably a size 8 or 10 but I wouldn't call her a pear shape. 

She typically shops at mall stores - Macy's, JCP, etc., but doesn't usually go into boutiques or stores like Old Navy, Ann Taylor (Loft) or Banana Republic.

Thanks for any recs!

Re: What brand of pants/jeans for woman with big booty and tiny waist

  • One option would be for her to buy a pair that fit her butt and have them altered in the waist. I'm also thinking that styles called "curvy" or something similar might be more flattering. And Tim Gunn said that pear shapes should get straight leg jeans, not boot cut or skinny.

    have fun shopping with your mama!?

  • I haven't tried them, but I have heard good things about PZI Jeans.  They are made for women with large hips and a tiny waist.  You can check out thier website  pzijeans.com

  • I just got a pair of Levi's Curvy jeans. I always had the baggy gap at the back of my jeans.

    They're a slightly lower waist, flare jean in a dark indigo. I got mine at Kohl's.

  • I would try Torrid.com, they have stores all over but I'm not sure if they have one near you. I think they start at size 13 ( plus size store ), which would be too big for your mombut I know they sale pants for curvy women.
  • I have the same problem, and it's hit or miss, even among brands.

    After trying on 20 pairs of jeans yesterday I ended up with a pair of Gloria Vanderbilt stretch from Kohls. However, 1 style fit great and another style (same GV stretch 'brand') did not.

  • If you are just looking for jeans I would recommend Maurices.  They are hard to come by but if you go here www.maurices.com you may find a store near you. They are one of the few stores that I feel understands that women have curves and understand this.  Their jeans are SO comfortable.
  • I have that same problem, only I am a little taller but I really like the gloria vanderbult (I don't know how to spell her last name) stretch from Kohls. I know they use to sell them at JC Penny's also.  My favorite pair of jeans were from her and they lasted me about 4 years and I wore them religiously. I really like them because I can also get them in long and I don't feel like I have to 'break them in'. 
  • I had the same problem shopping for jeans last season.  I am a size 4, but have wider hips than most size 4 pants.  I went everywhere and finally found some at The Limited.  They were they Drew fit, low waist and a flare leg.  They fit like a glove. 

    Of course, I could recommend the Citizens of Humanity and Seven for All Mankind jeans I bought 5 years ago that still fit like they were made for me, but surely your mom isn't willing to shell out $160 for pants.
