They are back online for anyone who missed them first time around. Recommended.

Buy, buy, buy people! They are gorgeous, but a warning that they are very long (as they should be) so for wearing with heels only.

Link please

They look more boot cut than proper flares. Still like them though.

Lardylassnomore · 11/03/2015 17:10

Dotty P's looks like they have some nice soft flares in. I saw them in Outdit the other day and they looked nice.

I bought the last pair in my local M and S first time around and they are really flattering so another recommendation, here. And yes, definitely more bootcut than true flare. As a comparison my DH bought me the Me and Em slim flares as a surprise but they are going back, sadly, as they are HUGE all the way down, and even longer than the M and S ones. I am 5'9 and wear the Mark's ones with no problem with converse.

Wonder if the renaissance of this item means they'll also get more of that denim skirt back in....

AmethystMoon · 11/03/2015 18:30

That's annoying, just tried to order a pair marked as low stock on the site and when I try to add to my basket, it comes up as out of stock :(

southeastastra · 11/03/2015 18:37

they look like cheap bootcuts

ClaraDeLaNoche · 11/03/2015 18:48

Thank you Love2dance. Got the long and regular just to be safe. I ordered them three flipping times before and they emailed me each time to cancel my order. So I phoned and said stop this nonsense why are you taking my money if they're not in stock but are showing up? And all they said was "we understand you are disappointed". Meh.

ClaraDeLaNoche · 11/03/2015 18:49

Ps it's the waist I love on them. Know they could be more flarey.

ThursdayLast · 11/03/2015 18:58

Thanking you kindly.
Just bought em up Grin

Spidergirl8 · 11/03/2015 19:26

Thanks for link. I watched the video and they don't look good on the model at all. Do they look more fitted in real life?

frankietwospots · 11/03/2015 22:04

God, they look crap in the video don't they! Trust me, they are waaay nicer in real life. I got a size 8 and they are really fitted and then flare out nicely. Definitely not bootcut. I hate bootcut jeans.

mammuzzamia · 11/03/2015 22:06

I hope they don't look like cheap bootcuts in the flesh

frankietwospots · 11/03/2015 22:12

Mine don't. Mine rock!

GilbertBlytheWouldGetIt · 11/03/2015 22:14

Flares you say? Hmmmm! I could fancy a set for the summer festival season.

Katz · 11/03/2015 22:20

How true to size are they? Is a 14 a normal m&s 14

butterfliesinmytummy · 11/03/2015 22:23

Just ordered mine but shipping to the USA so will take 10 days Hmm

frankietwospots · 11/03/2015 22:32

I'd say true to size yes.

AnnieMoor · 11/03/2015 22:35

I am so not ready for this.

I hate everything about them & with heels? Nooo! I can't bear that look, favoured by Victoria Beckham - it looks like you've got no feet.

I must be very untrendy.

Katz · 11/03/2015 22:36

Another item of clothing bought because of ,Mumsnet!

MrsGuyGarvey · 11/03/2015 22:46

Thank you kindly.

Now can we talk styling? I plan to wear them with wedges or clogs, but what else might work?

frankietwospots · 11/03/2015 23:01

Deffo wedges and chunky platform sandals when it warms up.
