I am in desperate need of smart work trousers - last ones I bought were per una stretch boot flare but they're too big and I'm out of touch.

In casual I wear skinny and I wore skinny black trousers with a smart jacket but it didn't feel right

Is that what ive ordered

MaureenShit · 14/01/2013 07:56

Yup. It is. Long is good. Plus they shrink.

MooMinCow · 14/01/2013 07:58

Do they? Ah well, if he does get them, I'll turn them into Capri pants then Wink

noddy if you're around. that Cos skirt you linked, is the length not a bit frumpy? I would love it but the length put me off.

Great thread, just reading now, yes, Gap can shrink, but what gets me more is that they fade. I no like it.

MaureenShit · 14/01/2013 11:31

the trousers have come.
ONce i have de sweated from gym i will try

MaureenShit · 14/01/2013 11:31

yes - only the cotton fades
I wash as delicates - that helps

MaureenShit · 14/01/2013 13:04

ok breathes in

fabric lovely length a bit too long for my 31 inch inside leg! I would have to take up until they shrunk after a vigorous tumble.

I am just wondering if even the bloody 10 is too big. is a bit roomy on the thigh. i have rarely been a 10in rl and never ever an 8

I might order 8 adn see how bad i have to slither to get into them

CharlotteBronteSaurus · 14/01/2013 13:24

which ones are these?
i need roomy on the thigh and am 33" inside leg so they might work

stclemens · 14/01/2013 14:03

I would say size down. Even if they fit now, in an hour or 2 they will be quite a bit looser. Yes, the sizing is ridiculous.

MaureenShit · 14/01/2013 14:57

Gap perfect straight

MaureenShit · 14/01/2013 14:58

Sorry. True straight.

MaureenShit · 14/01/2013 15:01

I ORDERED The super skinny too as i am fannying around with postage
i BET you they come tomorrow, are so fast

noddyholder · 14/01/2013 15:04

Primark push up super skinny dark wash jeans £13 so practically premium fantastic for those wanting a boost in the bum dept (no good for work though) Size 10 though so vanity sizing i think. Maureen how can you be on a diet and an 8 Envy

MaureenShit · 14/01/2013 15:06

its WORK noddo, no denim

MaureenShit · 14/01/2013 15:07

i am not an 8 - thats the thing. its gap freakery

i am 10.7 which is ok but i want to be about 10.2 or i will be 11 stone again in a flash

noddyholder · 14/01/2013 15:07

I know but so good i had to post

MaureenShit · 14/01/2013 15:33

noddyholder · 14/01/2013 15:35

Yes i do these are different lift your bum

MaureenShit · 14/01/2013 15:41
