Plus size trousers for elderly mum

Posting in chat for traffic.

My over 80 year old mum is size 26, with lymphoedema in one leg and, at the moment, a cast on the other. She is struggling to find trousers that will fit her legs and is down to her last couple of pairs which are rapidly wearing out. She wants warm for the winter, black/navy, loose fitting (not tapered on the leg at all).

Any suggestions for where I could try for her would be much appreciated. Needs to be online, as she cannot get to shops at the moment. As a size 6-8 myself, I simply have no idea where larger ladies shop.

Thank you!

My mum buys trousers from Bon Marche, but you get jersey wide trousers from lots of places- try Yours or Simply Be, or anywhere that does plus sizes…Next?

I find Yours brilliant for fit. And they do very fast and reliable delivery.

Interested in this thread?

Yours clothing are good but I do find them a big fitting

Also Damart and Roman do plus size in wider leg styles

Thank you all, I will do some perusing of which might work for her particularities. She is very quite stuck in her ideas about where to buy from, and her previous go-to is no longer in business so she is getting anxious about what she will be wearing soon.

I should add, she is also only about 5' tall these days, with relatively short legs for height, so we have a double dilemma of needing petite length with large waist.

Turn up legs if needed or cut them off. That is the least of the worries I would think.

Yours are good for a selection of lengths
