I was wondering if anyone can recommend a brand of jeans that don't gap in the back. I normally wear Lane Bryant's T3 (tighter tummy technology) jeans. Now that I am down to a sz 14 and still shrinking I can't fathom paying nearly $80 for a pair when I will size out of them soon enough. My problems with jeans is that I have a smaller waist and big butt and thighs, so regular jeans ALWAYS gap in the back. Lane Bryant has solved that problem for me the majority of my life. I am on my way to sizing out of the company entirely and need new options. I recently tried Old Navy as I saw they have styles for the "curvy" girl and are roughly $25.00...no such luck as they gap as well. Any one else have the 'gap in the back' issue...what brand of jeans do you buy/wear to combat this?

I agree old navy jeans arent that great, and Torrid ones I feel have all the wrong porpotions. I always go to Rainbow, or Deb and Ashley Stuwart for my jeans and tights. My tops i usually get them at Torrid or old navy.

I love silvers they have the best fit.

For the last 10 years I've purchased my jeans at Maurice's. Lots of styles.

Ugh. Ivan having the same problem and my LB T3 jeans in 14s are getting too big! I am really having anxiety about not having a go to clothing store like LB. I know that's weird. I should rejoice but I knew the sizes I wore and loved many of their styles. I went to New York and Company yesterday and was happy to fit in XL tops and I bought a pair of capris in 14 but they do gap at the waist. (They even have 4 different fits and this was the curviest one.). Tops will be great to shop smaller but I dread the pants. Let me know if you find anything!

Also, consider shopping Poshmark.com for LB jeans in 14. There are many on there that are slightly worn or even still new with tags and MUCH cheaper than retail. It is sort of an online thrift store and you can shop by brand. Careful though....it becomes quite an addiction. Great way to sell your clothes that are too big too and make some money to buy new stuff!

Since I lost weight, women's plus sizes don't fit me well at all. I have to wear juniors plus or regular sizes.

LB and Torrid jeans fit me terrible now. I find the cheaper the jeans the better they fit, which annoys me to no end.

Lee brand has a comfort band strip inside. I have always been large thighs smaller waist. So these are great to help with the gap in the back. I get mine at Kohls, and have even found some at Goodwill

I've found LEVI'S SIGNATURE jeans at Walmart to be the best so far. I bought two pair of size 12's a little over two weeks ago. One is is a Modern Straight (short), and the other is a Curvy Skinny. They were each $19.94. I have since sized out of them but am actually looking forward to buying them again in a size 10!!!!!

I don't like how the Levi's feel and the curvy skinny aren't tight enough on the legs for me, but I do like how they fit in the waist and the hips.

I like that they're not as thick denim wise as traditional Levi's but yes, the waist and hips fit amazingly well. A dream come true. Whew!!

Kohls' brand pants are good, too, forget the name. Ann Taylor Loft used to have a special cut that flattered our pear shapes nicely, if you need dressy pants.

I disavowed Lane Bryant years ago when they had only low waist jeans. I was like, naw bruh.

Surprisingly, my new favorite is the Kmart brand. Wide in the buttocks and hips, narrow waists, and they are straight leg. Cost about $20 each pair and made with a heavier denim than the Walmart brand so didn't wear holes in them quickly.

So much this.

When I was at my best weight (and a size 10-12), I had a 15 inch difference between my hips and waist. I never found a jean that didn't gap horribly. When I got heavier, Lane Bryant used to have a pants/jeans sizing system that had colors for the different body shapes and single digit size numbers. The Blue 3 Tall fit me like a dream. But then they discontinued those, and none of their new stuff fits right.

I'll be checking out some of the brands you guys recommended, so thank you!!

I saw a video on youtube where a girl just sewed the waist of her jeans to eliminate the gap.
