I am size 8. 5 foot 4. Slim/athletic. Age 44.
Because I am an 8 it means my waist and hips are small.
Because I am 5 foot 4 I don't want petite or long.
Because I am athletic my thighs and calves are on the larger side so that's where the fabric needs to be.
Just because I am 44 doesn't mean I want to look my Granny (especially seeing as she would have been 100 this week if she hadn't died 2 years ago). It's ok - she would appreciate the humour.
Why can't I find any bloody jeans that actually fit?
If they fit my thighs and calves then I have about 5 inches too much around my hips and waist.
If I wear children's jeans they fit my waist and hips but my thighs and calves bulge and look awful. That's if I can pull them up over my thighs at all.
I can wear children's leggings and jeggings as they have enough stretch but not the jeans.
Help, Mumsnet, help.
