Jeans - where do I find "just normal" jeans - like they used to be?

I'm between size 14 and 16, usually size 14 on the bottom half and gradually losing weight. I'm fed up of skinny jeans, jeggings, straight leg jeans that are just plain and boring, bootcut jeans, flared ... I just want some normal jeans, like they used to be before lycra, when they were either Levis or Lee or Wrangler ....

My measurements are big busted, then 35 inch waist and 41 inch widest part around bum. I have quite a tummy a lot of the time Sad

I don't feel any of the jeans flatter me. I have reasonably long legs, I think a bit of a high waist ... I don't like crew neck Ts because of the big boobs, I can't find flattering jeans. I'm scared to try boyfriend jeans because I'll probably look huge.

Anyone been in a similar situation and found flattering jeans?

I don't get into town much, no good local shops except a small DP and New Look. I don't mind ordering online and trying on. I've worn DP jeans in the past, but they don't flatter me at the moment.

Ideas for longish deep scoop necked tops would be great too!
