    Top Shop "Martha". Amazingly flattering, and the waist is always wide enough as not to give any muffin top :) Jeans are a *complete* minefield.

    I recently bought a pair of Linea Weekend (House of Frasers own brand) skinny fit jeans in grey. Ive got fat legs but these are brilliant, they have a bit of stretch and somehow they make my legs look a lot slimmer :) They are reduced to £24 a pair from £60 in the current sale (Ive just ordered a seocnd pair from online).
  • I have found Asda jeans and trousers to be a very good fit for me on the whole. I can't get any of M&S trousers or Jeans to fit me nowadays, as I seem to be inbetween their sizes.

    Didn't realise tk would have these! Do they do plain or skinny pairs? I've seen them in other shops and thought the shape would suit me (small with a humongous !!!! that is squeezed into uncomfortable and unattractive positions by jeans from topshop, h&m, river island...) but they were all a bit blinged out and I just want plain skinny jeans.

    From what I've seen, they seem to have all different styles of Apple Bottom & not all are 'blingy'. Some are bootcut, some skinny, just depends what they have in at the time.

    Go have a look, try some on & if you like the fit, while you're in the changing room see if they might be 'un-blingable'!:)

    I hate buying jeans and ten to buy 4 or 5 pairs when i find a pair i like and fit me. For me its always Diesel Jeans that fit the best with no waist long legs and saddle bags!!! good luck finding a pair,

    i've got the same problem, small waist and huge bum and thighs, so i try to get slightly lower waist jeans to compensate for the waist area! agree with other posters that gap jeans are good, give them a try in curvy/bootcut

    Exactly the same, tiny waist, wide hips and large thighs.

    Votes for:

    GAP - long and lean, curvy and bootcut. Long and lean are the best

    New Look - "Strut" (think they changed the name recently though) normally £20 a pair?

    Good luck - (I hate jeans shopping)
