Tall ladies; Looking for affordable jeans, like the M&S (long length) skinny but more stretchy...

I read about the Value Skinny Jeans here, they are great! But is there something more stretchy and comfortable that will fit long legged me?

I'm on a budget on account of Stat Mat pay and the fact that I've still got a dress size to lose, so something affordable to tie me over please! I need about a 33inside leg minimum. Thank you

I tried these on yesterday in M&S. They are calling them jeggings, but they are really just very soft and very stretchy jeans and have a zip and button fastening. Nice skinny leg and not quite as high on the waist as they look in the picture. They were about an inch too short for me,though, but I'm a 34/35" inside leg, so might be just about right on you!

We need a tall clothes section. I asked the other day where people get their stuff. I'm after a long skirt

Thanks DuchessEm, really interesting thanks! I wouldn't have gone with them given the high waist but with what you said I'll try them out.

Bronze, quite agree!
I have about 5 pairs of jeans, one of these are top shop tall and they fit perfect for about two hours, they hold me up and in! And after that the denim "gives" and I have to start howking them up!
New Look Tall denims are amazing, (just never tumble dry them as they die)

Topshop Jamie jeans from the tall section, which are 36 inch leg. Do a 34 inch in the 'normal' section. Must be Jamie as opposed to Baxter if you want the stretch and for them not to bag. Cost £40.00, but I have a pair a year old that I have worn 2-3 times a weeks and still as good as new.

run to the gap - although they've gone downhill on a lot of things I bought an amazingly comfy pair of jeggings for £25-30. I wear them all the time.

I second Topshop Jamies.
