Unlike Adrian, she definitely wears adult sizes now. Not that that makes things much easier. She&#8217;s got my genes, in that she has curvy hips and a slim waist. Sounds normal for a woman, right? The classical hourglass figure? But somehow most trousers sold in Sweden don&#8217;t fit that body type. When they&#8217;re right in the thighs and hips, there&#8217;s a massive gap in the waist, enough to fit an entire fist.

We were close to giving up, but a helpful sales attendant found some more for her to try. And of course the only pair that fit was by far the most expensive one she tried.<\/p>\n<p>Oh well.
