I ordered the olive green and they are fab, the fit is perfect for me (size 29, am a 12)c they look great are very comfortable and Dh says they make my bum look "delicious"! What more could you want.

Am thinking of ordering some more afterall if Dh complains I shal just wiggle my delicious bottom at him and all will be forgotten.

Well I was tempted....

If they were a bit more mustardy I would to blend in with the farmers round these parts

Millie1 · 26/08/2012 22:14

Oh I wish I had ordered them last week - they're selling out fast! Do Uniglo restock the sold out sizes or is that it for this season?

HappyGirlNow · 26/08/2012 22:16

Whoops, I bought off-white, black, grey and olive green earlier Blush - worth a try Grin

Kaloobear · 26/08/2012 22:35

How skinny are they across the bum and hips? I'm confused looking at their measurement guide-looks like my 28.5" waist would require size 24 but my 35" hips would require size 26...shall I risk it and go for 24? If they stretch well they might be ok and a baggy waistband would be bad...

I have found they come up quite big. I bought the 28 even though I am usually more a 29 in other shops but they were too big and too long (I am 5ft 7) I changed them for 27 and they are just right as well as the right length too. They are quite stretchy too. I got the olive which is a lovely dark khaki green. The grey were also very nice and I am tempted to get a black pair even though I never usually wear black. In my head, worn with a black jumper I think they will make me look like the french girl in the thread about french style Grin

mrs c I tried those gap cords today too! I looked like a farmer

brockthebadger · 26/08/2012 23:39

They have restocked once. I tried to buy the olive ones first time round and was too late. I emailed Uniqlo to ask if they'd restock - they said no as it was part of the transitional collection. However last week they had restocked and I was able to buy them. I think you need to keep a close eye on the website. I tried to get another pair as I think the colour is great but they'd already sold out again in size 27. I normally go for size 28 and 27 is fine. If I can get all the way through the Shred once the term begins, I may wish I'd gone down to a 26! Has anyone bought the bluey-purple?

STRATFORD5 gives you a fiver off. You're welcome. ;)

Pekka · 27/08/2012 11:52

How depressing! They don't stock them in my size. I did not even realise I have become unsizeably big. Boo.

Millie1 · 27/08/2012 11:56

Ordered the grey. Thanks all.

dexter73 · 27/08/2012 11:57

I can't see black - do you mean dark brown? I wish they did the skinny ones in navy like they have in the bootcut.

ImpossiblyGlossy · 27/08/2012 12:25

Maybe. Don't want brown. Ew. It's like early 2000s all over. I hate brown

dexter73 · 27/08/2012 12:55

Brown cords are not for me either.

dexter73 · 27/08/2012 12:58

Now I've got you all buying the cords can I interest you in some tartan leggings?

NotMostPeople · 27/08/2012 13:00

Dexter I am too scared to click in case I buy more, unless they too make my bottom look fab DH is going to start complaining.

dexter73 · 27/08/2012 13:03

I think I am quite safe in saying they won't make anyones bum look fab!Grin

trixymalixy · 27/08/2012 13:09

They look very low rise, are they?

QueenMaeve · 27/08/2012 16:30

Are they proper skinny, I have chicken legs

NotMostPeople · 27/08/2012 16:50

Ok I caved in and clicked which was great news .... For my 13 year old daughter. Enough said (am ancient so remember these first time around).

They now have cord leggings for those who want a proper skinny look.

ImpossiblyGlossy · 29/08/2012 15:54

Mine arrived today. 29 ok. Are v long though and I'm a 32/33 inside leg. Keeping grey

ImpossiblyGlossy · 29/08/2012 15:55

And grr for paying for returns.

noddyholder · 29/08/2012 15:56

I think i like the leggings for big jumpers Thanks

fragola · 29/08/2012 16:50

I just had a look at the size chart and there is only a 4-5 inch difference between the waist and hips. Does anyone know how true to size the measurements are?

I suffer fromg "waist gape" at the best of times!

Millie1 · 31/08/2012 16:45

The grey cords arrived this morning. They're great, a definite keeper. Thanks Dexter
