As per the title really. I’m sturdy of thigh and have a fairly sizeable rear 😬 have ordered loads of stuff online (no time for actual shopping) but no joy in terms of fitting in the bottoms!

Size 14-16, would anyone recommend a particular make that deals with curves well?

I have these from Decathlon. The waist is very adjustable, so it's easy to size up to fit a bigger bottom and make the waist fit. I've found them very comfortable and excellent quality for the price.

West beach do pretty generous sized trousers... more snowboarding type that salopettes but there isn’t such a difference in style these days.

I got some (trousers not salopettes) from Mountain Warehouse. The sizing there is mad - if you’re normally a 16 you’ll need about a 12. These ones: www.mountainwarehouse.com/mesa-extreme-womens-softshell-ski-pants-p13181.aspx/black/

Not Salomon. My Ice Glorys are bloody tiny for the size they say they are. I pig headedly bought them thinking I’d have to fit in them every year and usually I fail.

Trespass are my back up ones - more generously sized - but the quality varies. I had one pair of v cheap ones and I was soaking on the inside - there was zero breathability. I might as well have been wearing a binbag. The other ones are great.

Thanks all
@SunnySomer good reminder, I had tried some on in the shop and was delighted by how roomy they were!!! They’re completely out of stock now (booooo) but I’ve just bought some for 15 quid on eBay - yay!!!

My new pair are from Dare to Be. Pretty roomy for my size 20 bum and thighs.
