BellaOnline Forums Beauty and Self Women's Fashion Muffin tops...

My sister bought mine from Lane Bryant, they fit great

It's a wonderful thing that they are making stretch jeans now that don't look stretchy.

Yes! I guess that 1 - 3 % is all it takes. I hate those one that are like super stretchy. I don't really consider those jeans. I think they have like 20% or more spandex.

I love jeans and t-shirts. I like the elastic waist, though. And pockets - must have pockets! I also like wearing sweats around home.

It looks like we can expect more muffin tops for the remainder of the year.

Don't they ever really look in the mirror objectively? Do they not have well meaning friends that tell them they look funny dressed like that? I have seen much older women, with excess belly fat wearing the muffin top look, only with them it looks more like the muffin overflowed its cup.

I used to hate jeans, I thought of them as scratchy and would only wear handmade pants my grandmother made. Somewhere along the way I grew to tolerate jeans but for the past 10 years I really rarely wear them. I like sweatpants, they are comfy.

Last night we were actually leaving the house (the amazement!!) so I dug out a pair of size 8 jeans. Now keep in mind I got these like 15 years ago so at this point they might be actual "size 14" jeans with the way the clothing industry keeps changing. In any case I survived in them for maybe an hour or so but then they started to really hurt in the (ahem) crotch so I actually bought sweatpants at the Sears we were at and changed into them in the car for the ride home

So that taught me a lesson not to wear jeans for the next 10 years.

And yes I had tried to go buy a "current" pair of jeans a few months ago and they were so AWFUL looking, at least on me, the muffin top look indeed. I kept thinking something must be wrong with the sizes I was choosing but really, none came up to my waist. I definitely don't like them coming across the hips like that, and I agree, when I see girls wearing them it looks like they are sliding off. So to me that looks like they "don't fit" but I'm sure that's a big part of the appeal, is that they look sexy to guys like "they'll slide any moment now". Sort of like how girls like to wear tops that look like they're about to slip off.

So I think it's a sexy thing of "about to fall" rather than a "looks good on"

The last company I worked at before retirement, had several young girls in the warehouse who wore jeans so low their butt cracks were right there for everyone to see. It was so embarrassing.

I always wondered how wearing jeans so tight that it created a muffin-top could possible be comfortable. I can't stand when my clothes or *ahem* panties cut into me - way to much discomfort!

How about the ones with the butt crack showing and a g-string on? Quite the sight!

HA HA HA HA.... I'm not gonna say a word!
