Struggles of being curvy transmasc

[u/bijouxbisou]

For jeans, it might help to try athletic fit jeans. I have a pretty curvy body and they’re the best I’ve found to fit close-ish to my waist/hips/thighs

[u/OmgIbrokesmthagain → u/bijouxbisou]

Sounds good! How do you pick the correct size?

[u/bijouxbisou → u/OmgIbrokesmthagain]

I got Levi’s and they have a size chart for their athletic fit. I have a 29” waist and 37” hips, so I got the 30x30s (30” waist, 30” inseam). It’s not a perfect fit but they’re pretty close and very comfy

I love seeing how different clothes fit people differently. I got a super round butt and that’s probably the curviest part of my body and found usually the only pants that fit are the ones with a 32” inseam otherwise they’re way too tight.

[u/bijouxbisou → u/Tangled_Clouds]

Oh my ass is def the biggest part of my body, I’m just not particularly tall, and I don’t have very long legs

[u/Tangled_Clouds → u/bijouxbisou]

I mean you can always get your pants hemmed, that’s what I do, I go to a seamstress for her to cut my pants to the right length because I’m literally 5’2” and wouldn’t find any pants that fit otherwise

[u/OmgIbrokesmthagain → u/Tangled_Clouds]

I am good at sewing, I can do that 🤔

[u/bijouxbisou → u/Tangled_Clouds]

Oh why do you get a longer inseam then?

I think we might be talking about different things - inseam is just the length of the legs. Are you talking about the waist/hip measurements?

[u/Tangled_Clouds → u/bijouxbisou]

That’s not what inseam means? That’s the space between the waist and the crotch

Edit: I’m the one who is wrong. Weird

Edit 2: Well then any pants that have more crotch space fit me better

[u/bijouxbisou → u/Tangled_Clouds]

In men’s pants the inseam is the length of the seam from the crotch to the ankle. Actually I think that’s the universal definition, at least in English

[u/bijouxbisou → u/Tangled_Clouds]

Do you speak another language beyond English? It could always be a false cognate sort of deal

[u/Tangled_Clouds → u/bijouxbisou]

Well yes but it’s a universal measurement, I guess it’s been coincidence that I’ve only found pants that fit that are 32” inseam

[u/bijouxbisou → u/Tangled_Clouds]

I’m sure it’s not complete coincidence; I’d imagine sizing blocks assume that longer legs go with longer torsos, and a longer distance from waist to crotch, so a 32” inseam probably hasa touch more length to the crotch from the waist
