Any soft pants like velour bootlegs or yoga pants for girls with a wider waist?

DD is avg. height and weight - or maybe 70%ile in height and 50%ile for weight. But, pants are so hard to find. She's got the toddler tummy sort of, and she can't stand pants that are not bendy. We've done leggings/dresses, HA comfort jeans in the past and very limited trials with other pants (boden, talbot's, TCP) because they are all snug on the waist and a little longer than they need to be.

Who has wider waistband pants in size 6? Seems like we have the opposite issue most of the world has. Girl is thicker, boys are thinner. We can't shop any one brand for both big kids since they always run narrow or wider...

eta: We just got the Boden velour bootlegs in the mail last night. They fit around the waist and are almost right in length, but by the time she grows the inch up, the waist will be too snug.

well, this summer i ordered from three co. that i have never ordered from before, hanna, boden and tea, and tea seems to run large around the waist. we ordered some capri's and two pair of leggings and they just about fall of of her, i had to return the capri's and one pr. of the leggings. our dd is around 40# and is 42" tall, and the 5-6 from boden and hanna fit with alittle run for growing.

really...so the girls' Tea stuff runs wider? The boy stuff is super long and skinny. We just got an order last week and the pants are perfect for extra skinny DS1. We're going to a Hanna outlet tomorrow, so I was planning to search there. Their leggings run a little tight on her.

yes, i was suprised because i read a post on here that said that tea runs small, i did order up 1 sz. but they are really big on her, really big.

Maybe I'll run her to the local boutique and try some on her..without the boys in tow.

Wonder if any commonplace, easy to find mall brands have them. Gymboree drives us crazy b/c their stuff is so line-specific. Wonder if I can take off some pandas or hearts or cutesy wording and find some there?

Crazy 8 had lots of girls yoga pants on sale last week when I was there. They run bigger in the waist and have plain colors. Its not boutique quality obviously but they were inexpensive and may be worth trying.

ooh, these (http://www.crazy8.com/shop/dept_item.jsp?PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=845524445991419&FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=2534374306251417&ASSORTMENT%3C%3East_id=1408474395917465&bmUID=1311969326816&productSizeSelected=0&fit_type=) at Crazy8 look comfy in the waist. Maybe we'll try those before tax free weekend. Do they have email coupons?

[chozen]

i have seen there coupons in family fun and parents or maybe parenting.

I was going to say Boden, but sounds like you tried those. Gap has them too but the quality isn't as great. Tea is not the right brand for bigger waisted girls. How about LE or LLB?

[WatchingThemGrow]

She would protest wearing these boy-colored pants http://www.llbean.com/llb/shop/69190?feat=503555-GN3

maybe these (http://www.landsend.com/pp/FlareYogaPants~173142_1187.html?bcc=y&action=order_more&sku_0=::BLP&CM_MERCH=IDX_Girls-_-PantsShorts&origin=index) from LE are worth trying, but where are all the fun colors????

She has despised Gap pants from Day 1, lol.
