    For jeans heemed to lenght or for a good range of lengths try Landsend, their jeans tend to be generous in size and good quality.

    I also have CottonTraders jeans, I think they are available in a couple of leg lenghts, I'm wearing dark rinsed denim with stretch and they fit my size 18 frame fine. They have lenghts up to 33 inside leg

    I'm only 5'2 (at a push!) with very short legs. I do trip over my jeans a lot or end up with very wet jean leg-bottoms(!), but generally can get away with short in Next, or normal length in Peacocks. Alternatively, Peacocks also do a short option in a lot of their stuff. Occasionally I'll buy a pair in short and a pair in normal as the short ones are too short to wear with heels/wedges, yet the normal are too long to wear with flats.

    I get mine from Dorothy Perkins, I used to be an 18 and found they fitted perfectly. They range between £15-£30 .

    Another one for DP jeans here! I tend to buy the bootcut, as they flatter my shape (big on the tummy and small at the waist) and last for ages. I've had one pair for over 2 years but sadly they are now too big for me but I still haven't got rid of.
  • elantan try simply be - they go up past an 18 and are well cut. They have a variety of prices too depending on what you are looking for.
    As God is my witness, as God is my witness they're not going to lick me. I'm going to live through this and when it's all over, I'll never be hungry again

    thanks will try both of them ... i think some of my problem is that i am not used to shopping online ... i usually go to the shops and try them on for fit etc ... as some trousers i am a 18 and others i am a 20 ... ( and i have no doubt in some i would be a 22)

    When I was a size 18 I used to go to Marks and Spencer and buy mens' jeans. I found it much easier to buy clothes by waist and inside leg length than trying to figure out whether I was a 16 in one shop or a 20 in another.

    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 :(
    Try Marks & Spencer, they go up to bigger sizes and have short, medium, long and extra long leg lengths, I'm only 1/2 an inch taller than you and can normally find jeans to fit there.

    I also like that they have jeans with a slightly higher waist, most fashion shops have the lower cut waist which I don't find very flattering on my body, I like everything tucked in not hanging over the top. :o
