How to choose pants for your shape...

It's a treacherous landscape out there for a woman trying to find pants. It's hard to explain why, but pants just never fit. 

Everyone's body is different - a size 8 body is different for every size 8. Some size 8 people's stomach is larger than their hips, some people's hips are larger than their stomach, and some people have no curves at all. So a pant catering to all these bodies is nearly impossible for one size 8. 

In our tiny little corner of the world, we are doing what we can. We focus on a body type where the hips are bigger than the stomach (often called hourglass or curvy), because as the founder of this company that is what I have, and I could NEVER find pants. Our pants took off quite immediately and started to be called "Life changing pants", so I feel as though I found a void. 

Luckily, our pants have stretch (and some other magical secrets) that allow them to fit not just one body type, but lots of them. Are our pants for everyone? Of course not. But they fit a surprising amount of people, especially customers who always seems to have that "waist gap" problem. And one day, as we grow, we can keep catering to different body types (hello menopausal customers out there, we're coming for you!). 

Here's a little guide on how to find pants for a curvy body shape at different heights...
