I totally fee ya coops...some of my slacks are loose in the butt area but fit it the waste, OR the other way around big in the waist and fit in the butt. I am not use to wearing a belt or getting my clothes tailored but I guess that's the answer (or get butt implants LOL)...the MAIN thing is that I'm not wearing my BIG MAMA clothes any longer, and I will take ill fitting clothes over THAT ANY DAY ...HUGS my friend
