I really like Terry Bellas. I have a curvy figure with well padded rear-end and thighs...not particularly overweight but no one would call me lean. I buy one size larger in the shorts and would consider buying 2 sizes larger in the capris/knickers as they seem to be cut pretty small through the lower thigh and knee. I don't know about the sizing of Terry's other models of shorts and knickers.

The other thing you can do is to put a padded liner under some normal capris - this might not be comfortable for longer rides but it's fine for errands and shorter rides (for me anyway). Terry, Sheila Moon, Gore all do nice ones, and I think there are plenty on TE.

The world isn't ready for me in Spandex either...so I wear a pair of stretch chinos over bike shorts. (I roll the cuff on the chain side.) This has worked out well for me.
Just another option...
