help needed with jeans...

[mummydoc]

I love jeans but have lost 2 stone in weight and really changed my body shape on the bottom half and would love to treat myself to some fabulous figure enhancing jeans . I am between a 12-14 and 5ft 3 , i currently have m+s basic jeans in bootcut. not really sure what constitutes a good pair and if designer labels are really worth the extra money ???? would happily spend £100 for a really fab pair.

how are you off for time? My best bet for jean shopping is to go with a friend to a place like gap or denim city. One with loads of sizes, shapes and colours. Collar an asisstant and get her to bring you loads to try on.

gap gap gap
Long & Lean
get them taken up if too long, fit more importnat

yes gap seconded - go and tell them exactly what you have said here and let them come up with solutions (long and lean do not fit me properly, but i am a funny shape). m&s jeans can be frumpy, they tend to be cut too generously.

thanks - am off shopping tomorrow for rare treat as kids and dh away will go to gap and try loads, have always stck to m+s mainly because they fitted when i was bigger and because am / was terrified of "trendy" shops because was so fat but now slimmer feeling would like to be less frumpy in my choices!!!

don't restrict your self to a certain style or fit. If they look crap on you don't need to go out of the changing room
you may be surprised as to what works.

If a style looks good get more than one pair. I made the mistake of only buying one and wore them so much they are in tatters

[mummydoc]

if i can find what i wan tin gap i could feasibly stratch to 2-3 pairs - yippee

I'd try 7 for all mankind, but if you go somewhere like House of Fraser, they stock all the premium brands and then ou can try on a few to see how they fit.

I'm not a fan of Gap jeans and if you want a really special pair, do you want some that anyone can buy on any old high street? [still, if they fit fantastic, suppose you may not mind that]

I have 7 for all mankind jeans, some sass & bide and some David Bitton. I also have some really nice ones from Oasis that were a bargain at £45 and look great, and some black skinnies from topshop that again at £45 were a bargain and I wear them all the time.

Try ebay for second hand pair until you find the style you like then splurge on a new pair at shops

apparently there are some really nice butt enhancing styles out there - in all honesty I am yet to find them - although sass & bide rabbit boys are not too bad on the behind

7 for all mankind as well as sass & bide are meant to be great so is true religon (I like sas & bide and got a couple of pair off ebay very cheap (under $50 AUD) - they are usually around $240-260 AUD)

seven for all mankind. they're more than £100 but they are FAB.
