I'm a smaller waisted, big bottom and thighs girl. Just tried an 8 and a 10 with tights on. Both fit, the 8 is perfect on the waist but is pretty snug round the hips, although I can sit down in it. The 10 sticks out a bit more where it flares out, does not have the nice, slightly fitted look over the bum that the 8 has and I have a gap at the waist, but could probably live with it. I wondered if anyone could tell me how it wears? Does it stretch across the hips a bit after a time? Or will I be condemning myself to a never wear item if I put on a few pounds in future?
