The ones at £22.50? What's the sizing like?

Thanks

I found them 'kind' - I got the size I wanted to be, if you see what I mean!

nomoreminibreaks · 08/05/2012 10:44

Oh but I also found them pretty tight round the ankles (but they are jeggings!)

ElizaDoMore · 08/05/2012 10:50

Oh, I like the sound of that. [big grin] Just need to decide what colour(s) to get now...

I have the dark denim and find them pretty flattering. I also got the cobalt ones which I loved but were not as flattering so they've gone back until I've lost some more weight!

I'v got the cobalt ones and love 'em. Very well-sized and comfy.

Cobalt ones in my wardrobe too. They definitely 'relax' with a bit of wear (to the point I'm wondering if I should have got a size smaller) but are super comfy and very flattering.

My mum tried them on in the cobalt blue, she's normally a 14/16 in Topshop jeggings/skinnies but the 16s were tiny and she couldn't get them on. The 18s were enormous.

I thought the material was very, very flimsy for the price - I was actually quite shocked when I saw them IRL (still have old woman's M&S complex and expect better from them!).

Sainsbury's have better ones - actual jeggings are about £12 and skinnies in various colours about £18 I think. I have seen them in George at Asda too and they look better quality than the M&S ones.

Disappointing as I had mentally built my post pg wardrobe around the M&S ones after seeing them online.

I bought these in black, wore them once and then threw them out. They are too long in the crutch and and strange cut (for me anyway). Size 12.

I have them and love them. I would say sizing is about right but erring on the generous side . The rise is quite high but not stupidly high , enough to control muffin top . Smile

MissBeehivingUnderTheMistletoe · 22/08/2012 18:15

I find that the the sizing varies between pairs dependant on the colourConfused

fresh · 22/08/2012 18:48

Sizing varies between different pairs in same colour sometimes - I had to try on 3 pairs of the white ones size 14 before I found the right fit. They do relax a bit so a belt helps otherwise I find I'm hitching them up. But for the price I think they're great, especially if you're an apple shape with skinny legs as they emphasize the legs and hold in the muffin top!

Anyone buy much stuff from sea salt. Liking some of their new stuff, but not sure about sizing or quality. thanks.....

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 22/08/2012 19:39

Yes, the sizing seems to be fairly random. I've got 2 pairs of black ones which should be identical other than leg length (one short pair, one medium). The Short are much, much tighter than the Medium.

Pelicano · 22/08/2012 21:07

Sizing is generous and I would buy/try on at least 3 or 4 pairs. I ordered online and got 4 of the same size with varying lengths(up to 1 inch) and tightness.
I have been buying these for a while and realise they differ depending on which country they were made in.
