Suggestions?

So, my weight has been up and down about 10lbs for the past few years.  I generally wear an 8 or a 10, but lately have bought 12s for a better fit in the thighs.  My problem is that 12s are definitely too big at the waist.  I want better fitting pants without buying a big size that I then need to bring to a tailor. 

Any brand suggestions for good fitting pants?  I am athletic and my legs and arms are muscular; tighter clothes are uncomfortable.  (Forget skinny jeans.)

I have the same problem and have tried many brands.  I know how to sew and so the conclusion I've come too is fix my own pants.  I just read a very interesting book called, "Overdressed".  It talks about how back in the day when people knew how to sew they used to buy ready made clothes and alter it so it would fit.  Everybody's body is different and so to find clothes that fit you perfectly is near impossible.  According to the book most people nowadays have just accepted walking around in ill fitted clothes.

Unfortunately, women's clothes are terribly sized. Your best bet is to find pants that fit your biggest part and get them tailored. That, or spend a day at the mall trying on way to many pairs to find something that just fits okay.
