    Why are size 12 trousers tight on my bum and calf but HUGE around my waist?! This is so annoying!

    I'm guessing you have a large bum to waist ratio.

    Is your question actually: Where can I buy jeans for pear shaped women?

    No idea, I have the problem myself - I just wear a belt. I think Levis do a range that are catered for different shapes though, maybe have a look at them?

    I find river island jeans are good for this shape, they tend to stretch if you don't wash them for a bit though and get baggy

    Bet that gets a few stares!!

    Kidding..

    Anyway lots of people are larger in some areas than others. I recommend just going into a store and spending a bit of time trying on different styles of jeans, as there are sooo many. Somewhere like New Look or Next is good for this as they have a lot of different types. Some jeans are like that on me, only straight leg jeans flatter me at the moment.
