After many mornings trying to find pants for the girls to wear to school, I'm come to an unavoidable conclusion. Unless pants have an adjustable or elastic waist, the girls will never wear them.
They each have a drawer full of beautiful, new size 7 pants. Most of these pants were 5th birthday presents. There are pretty jeans with butterflies, flowers and sparkles. They look (and probably were) expensive. Unfortunately, the girls will never wear them. While the jeans are a bit long in the length, they are HUGE in the waist.
It's the only downside I have found so far to having twin girls in the 90 - 95% for height and the 80 - 85% for weight. They are both tall and thin. The brunette twin is a bit bigger than her sister, but not enough that the pants will fit her. The blond twin is so thin that most of the pants fall right down. It's funny, but not funny.
Now I have to buy more pants so they have something to wear. I'm starting to be a big fan of leggings with dresses, sweaters, long sleeved shirts, etc. This will work for most of the cooler weather, but I've lived in Chicago my entire life. I know that in December/January/February, I'm going to want them in a really warm pair of jeans.

My goodness. I have the same problem with my eldest. Children's Place yoga pants are protocol for her. Please, let me know if you find other options!
I bought Cate a pair of Old Navy jeans (on clearance) with an adjustable waistband, and even with it on the tightest setting, they're still falling off of her hips! She looks like a toddler rapper in them, it's totally ridiculous. The thing I don't get is that Cate is actually a little bit chubby (75-90th percentile for height & weight). So why on earth are these jeans SO big?
Luckily my mom does alterations for a living, so I'm going to take them to her and have her take in the waist so they'll actually stay on Cate's waist, and she won't be running around flashing the Elmo on the seat of her diaper all day. :-)
Check out www.myselfbelts.com for some cute belts that they can do themselves. I know I've also seen something that goes in any pants to create an adjustable waist, but I can't recall the name. I'll do a repost if I find it.
try "Limited Too" slim size pants. they are WAY too expensive but they will solve your pants-falling-down problem.
