Skinny jeans for mummy tummy / post-pregnancy??

I'm desperately after some comfortable skinny jeans for my post baby body (dd2 born six weeks ago). I've got a lovely pair of straight leg from seraphine that I wear even when not pregnant, but am struggling to find skinnies that are high waisted enough to cover my tummy but don't ride down or dig in when sit down. I've tried Boden superskinny jeans but 10 was too tight and 12 was too big. Seraphine skinnies are v comfortable but the fabric is too thin and not great quality. Can anyone recommend another brand?

I ordered them the day before yesterday and paid for next day delivery as I needed jeans to wear this weekend. So worth it though - I'm wearing them today and so comfortable and they don't ride down.

That is brilliant! You wouldn't measure the thigh for me, would you?! The measurement given on the website is much bigger than my other skinny jeans? I have quite slim legs (none of the rest of me is!) and I don't want them to be saggy!!

RedLocks I've measured the thigh and it's 9 inches. Hope that helps.

Asos Ridley jeans recommended to me on here just after I had my DD in June. Loads of colours, very flattering, cheap and very, very high waisted. In fact, I love them so much I'm about to order more in a size down now the mummy tummy has shrunk back a smidge.

I also tend to fall between 10 and 12.

The gap high-waisted skinnies were too small/too big but I found a perfect pair in Matalan at the weekend! Size 12 was perfect and £24 :)
