I want a nice pair of cool summer trousers, and a skirt...

...that I can buy tomorrow. Will only have one of three children, and it's the easy one (i.e. the immobile one), so am going to shops. REALLY want to get some summery trousers - preferably cotton or linen, that don't make me look like an elephant, ditto skirt. I'm about 5'5, not long legged, not thin legged(!), and definitely a 'pear' shape, but (and this is the tricky bit) with a bit of baby tummy left (ds2 is 5 weeks). Any ideas? Shops I can look at are M&S, Next, JohnLewis, BHS, East, Monsoon

TIA!!!! (I know I can look on their websites, but am interested what you pick out for my sort of shape).

Ok. NOT bias cut. Monsoon have lots of lovely A-line/full-ish skirts at the moment.
