NYDJ, in butterwash.
They are the BEST jeans in the world. If you are a size 14+ they are sooooooooo cut for women, so comfortable, so worth it.0 -
Hi MrsE
They look great and on the whole the reviews are good. The holding the tummy in bit is especially appealing.
I could afford them if I wanted but there's this bit inside me that couldn't bring myself to pay £145 for a pair of jeans......which thinking about it , is a bit silly really, cos I would pay £145 for a special occasion outfit which wouldn't get half as many wears!!! I wonder why that is.....think I need to get my head round that conumdrum!??
I have got an ancient (must be nearly 10 years old) pair of M&S jeans, which are washed out blue with a LONG slim leg and flare. They have a load of stretch in, although you can't tell from looking and I have never found a pair more comfortable or flattering. They are getting a bit down at heel now, but still look great for a casual look . Oh! They were £13 from the Famous Name Seconds Shop!!!!0 -

In a nut shell, I get more wear from these jeans than anything else I own:D0 -
A tip for smaller women is to try to find jeans which have a visisble double row of stitching on the outer side of the leg, this gives an illusion of leg length and in turn slims the legs down. At 5ft1" I need all these tricks. When I find a pair I buy one in every colour!! My latest find was in the Grattan catalogue for £35, I will try to post a link.

I love topshop jeans, the material is very soft and comfortable and as I am tall 5'10" I buy the tall range and they fit me perfectly!2009 wins: Cadburys Chocolate Pack x 6, Sally Hansen Hand cream, Ipod nano! mothers day meal at Toby Carvery! :j :j :j :j0

Okay I'm doing the whole big wardrobe clear our and all the jeans bar 1 pair are going to have to go - they fit poorly, are too long or make me look like I should be in an 80's glam rock music video!
My problems are I only like dark jeans, (Preferably black really) and am an hourglass shape 10-12. Sounds like no big deal yes? But I'm 5ft tall and almost every pair of jeans I have ever had has stuck out at the small of my back because I have no fat there so always looks a little funny. Any help would be greatly received...plus if I don't buy sensible ones I'm going to relent and buy those gorgeous bright colour leopard print jeans from Primark (Oh how I want those, but they aren't that versatile)!The "Bloodlust" Clique - Morally equal to all.

I find that Primark jeans no good if you have a tendency to get the gape on the waist.If you want sensible bootcut at a good price then it is New Look Hula which come in different lengths and are good for pears so I am guessing that they would be good for hourglasses.No Unapproved or Personal links in signatures please - FT30
