urgent help needed

[hellymelly]

Friend is very ill with cancer, mainly in bed. She wants some comfortable black leggings- however she is getting abdominal swelling, that comes and goes, so I am looking for something with a soft waistband. She is about a 12-14 but has asked for 14/16 I think to make room for her swollen tummy. Anyone seen anything like this? Maybe I need to look for yoga leggings?

Would maternity leggings work?

draw string waist?

I would go for Boden Maternity leggings in a size 12. Lovely and soft, seams are not noticeable and should stretch for the swelling fine.

Sorry to hear about your friend.

My boden leggings are soft -- but I would size up so they don't grip her tummy.

Sorry to hear about your friend. I would recommend Next maternity jeans or leggings.

I will go and look at maternity leggings, but I am a bit worried that they might upset her as she has a baby . I thought maybe a fold over waistband type would work- I will go have a look at Boden anyway.

Her DP has just texted me and said not a fold over waist, I'm not sure why. think she means just thick cotton lycra type rather than thinner ones like footless tights.

They look good! Hopefully the ruched bit won't rub? She has tender skin everywhere since chemo. I will buy some of those as they are also cotton, which she wants, whereas lots seem to be viscose now. Thanks for that link.

Sweaty Betty have lovely soft yoga pants or fat face leggings
