I have to say that I find dresses, without waist bands, way more comfortable than jeans. Dress pants seem to be made in a more comfortable shape with softer material, too. I don't ware my nicer stuff all the time, because you are practically viewed as a weirdo if you do, but sometimes I would sure like to. Fortunately they do make some comfortable and casual close. The exception to nice close being comfortable is women's business suits. No one will ever catch me in one of those, an it won't matter what type of job I am doing. :-) They are too stiff and tend to come in the most boring and unattractive colors. That bothers me even though I have been blind since the age of 9. Just for my vanity I have to say that I do not have a wait problem, I just can't stand being reshaped to fit my clothing instead of the other way around. :-) Maybe that stuff is okay for standing, but it gets tortuous after sitting a long time, which is what you do when you use a computer a lot.
