Jeans fit lousy these days



Note: At close we have a sponsored give away; a free pair of jeans from Tummy Tuck Jeans.



I have been sitting on this post for a couple of months mostly because I don't know what to call it and I don't have any (easy or fast) answers. Specifically, what's up with the fit of jeans these days? I am beyond annoyed. I thought it was just me but then I got this email from Sue:



I am a consumer who found your site while I was looking for links to pants patterns and manufacturing. I have been noticing the trends in the patterns for most commercially retailed women's pant. The recent troubling trend is the lack of buttocks room at all, even in higher rise pants. It just seems the a$$ just keeps getting flatter in all pants. It may be a way to save costs on labor (less curves and uneven measurements ) and material. But even the expensive brands are going in this direction. What the heck is happening and who do I holler too?! I am so frustrated I could scream.




Specifically, jeans are round-mounds lately. I'm calling it the mono-butt. There's no nice way to say this but -we have cheeks back there, what happened to the bifurcation? A buttless, mound back there is annoying. What happened to "shape and lift"? This isn't flattering. We want cheeks!
