A lovely feeder of mine got me some Woman Within jeans to try, and 36 was the biggest size for this style. I thought surely I could make a 36 work... I was just 34 recently right?? Well as usual my ass and thighs are just too massive. Maybe someday soon I'll finally try those coveted Universal Standard ones. I'm dying for a pair of denim short shorts so I can offend pearl clutchers all summer. ;)
