To ask you why my leggings keep falling down

I love M&S corduroy leggings and typically have a couple of pairs for mooching around and wearing with different tops, both smart and every day.

Okay... the back story... I've put on 4 stone this year, with various health and family challenges, so gone from fairly typical curvy figure to definitely overweight. So I guess I wasn't surprised when my old ones, probably having lost a bit of stretch, and having to accommodate a rather larger figure started falling down.... think edging down so that when you get up you have to indecorously hock them up exposing bare midriff as you do it.

So I've bought some new ones in larger sizes - and they are already doing it!!!! I didn't have this problem when I was slimmer. Wondering why this is... do I need to go up a size? down a size? take them in at the waist??

I've a very curvy hourglass figure - think Marilyn Monroe (sadly without the face!), so do still have a comparitively small waist compared to huge arse, just both much bigger than before.

Love your thoughts as until Ive lost a couple of stone Im going to be wearing these pretty much full time, both work and home - I can't fit into my normal clothes anymore and don't want to buy new ones, especially as the weight is already starting to come off.

I feel like an ungainly toddler as they bag under my crotch as I walk!
