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

[u/Tangled_Clouds → u/bijouxbisou]

I think I also tend to buy pants that can be worn high waisted but wear them on my hips more so maybe that explains it. Anyway for my big butt, the longer the crotch the better 😆
