I'm a 5'7" size 12 (slightly flabby 10 stone), 32" inside leg.

I bought the pink ones, thinking they were a nice dusty colour and they were a horrible, acidy pink. Sent 'em back. Sorry, probably not very helpful as only about colour! But I am an almost identical build to you and the cut was quite nice.

NomDePlume · 04/08/2006 18:46

Lol, I'd just be buying the plain dark denim ones. Good to hear that about the cut.

pmsl @ your cringing. I so hate the word "sassy" that I'm not sure i could bring myself to buy them...

Tinker · 04/08/2006 18:47

Imagine having to phone through your order to ask for them!

NomDePlume · 04/08/2006 19:13

Sassy is just such a gag-worthy twattish mc word. Oh so Boden.

I HATE Next jeans. They are really disgusting on me, every single pair I have ever tried on have had the uncanny power of magnifying my arse by about 100x. No other jeans do it, the cut of Next ones are gross.

NomDePlume · 05/08/2006 09:16

Cod, you are a sarky moo.... Gap is actually a 45 min drive.

NDP - I am (when not pg) very similar size to you (except that I veer on a 12/14 and often weigh half a stone extra) and am the same height. I bought the sassy jeans in white (size 14) and they were gorgeous - not too low on the waist but fab bum fit and lovely cut on legs. I sent them back because I then found out I was pg and there was no need for them but will definitely order again next year (online so I don't have to vocalise 'sassy').
Gap Long and Lean also very good but sometimes show my muffin .

NomDePlume · 05/08/2006 09:47

lol cupcakes . I think I'll order a pair. £55 is reasonable value too, I think (not something you usually see written by me on a Boden thread...)

Oy! Just seen all those slagging off my name.

Sassy is NOT gag-worthy, twatty mc word NdeP!!

(Is it? )

In my defence, its an old nickname of mine, loosely based on my actual name. Not chosen for Boden-esque reasons.

cupcakes · 05/08/2006 11:15

sassy is nice as a name - just not when adopted by Boden marketing department.
