    Currently same size as you and live in jeans...

    I find Asda very good fit in most styles - and a bargain - i have black on today and look smart.

    Also DP are good but i find the waist can be too big on an 18.

    Also Tu range at sainsburys have been very good and often 25% off.

    I also have very ones and can vouch for them being pretty good.

    I have about 6 or 7 identical pairs of Evans straight leg black jeans and couldnt be without them. They wash well, are nice quality and last well.
    Would steer clear of New Look though the sizing is rubbish - I have 2 pairs from there and cant keep them up, theyre massive!

    I love Dash jeans. I am a 16 and 68yo and probably shouldn't be wearing jeans at all but these are so comfy. They are pricy at £40 but I buy when in half price sale.

    I'm an 18/20 and live in DP's skinny flare jeans. Very comfy and hard wearing. I wear mine daily for work, and I 'm a youth worker so get up to all sorts in them!

    New Look Inspire range are good, but they have stopped stocking the range here now :(

    Primark do one great flared pair which I adore, but only have them in a light denim right now

    I'm a size 18 with a small waist. I usually wear Peacocks jeans which are a great fit in an 18 (go for the darker stretchier bootleg ones), or NEXT jeans. I don't find M&S ones fit me properly, nor do New Look ones - although their plus size stuff's good, if sometimes a bit on the large side.

    My hubby bought supermarket jeans too recently which lasted a matter of weeks. Ridiculous!

    sorry to intrude but can anyone suggest where to get size 18/20 legged jeans ? i am only 5ft1 inch with a 27 inch leg i cant find any jeans to fit me anywhere ... i have had to land up buying 3/4 jeans that just look stupid on me... when i have bought longer lengths to take up they loose their shape as well, so look really bad

    i love jeans but cant find any that fit me right :(

    Have you tried Bon Marche? I am 5ft 4 and their jeans are too short on me!

    Some of the catalogues like Very have a shorty range, I'm the other way, feel a 31" just sits too short, so prefer to have a 33" inside leg. I normally wait for their sale and pick up 2-3 pairs. Like these ones come in a short inside leg ( I would imagine that to be a 29")
