Small waist, big hips - where to buy trousers from?

[SheHasAWildHeart]

I wear tops in size small but my trousers are a whole different issue. I have a small waist but big hips and am in desperate need of nice trousers. I have a couple of pairs from Dorothy Perkins that seem to be doing the job, but they're plain boring black work trousers. I ordered some online from Mango and they arrived yesterday and I couldn't even get them past my hips! Size 10 is too tight and size 12s hang in a weird way in odd places. I don't know what you'd call my body shape (pear?) but any advice would be really appreciated.

Need measurements really. I'm size 10 generally but have about 9inch difference between waist & hips & can usually find trousers to fit in Hobbs, Jigsaw & Gap & Next used to be good for jeans. Some curvy people fit into Boden's chelsea trousers but they don't have a big enough waist to hip difference in the small sizes for me. Levis bold curve were great but think they have been replaced with something else now.

I had this problem... do you find they 'gape' at the back? Next are quite good. I used to just grab a million pairs to try on in tk maxx and hope one or two pairs fitted. (I don't have this problem any more since my skinny waist vanished after uni!)

for a one off pair - look at John lewis site for bruce oldfield ones - reduced to 26 quid - a rec from another poster for ladies like us - I bought a pair and they fit me really well - the feedback from other people was they were too lose in the hips and thigh area - result for me!! the quality is lovely and I am going to buy some more as they are a classic style

I'd forgotten about Next I used to buy lots from there once upon a time, but then they started doing everything 'bootcut' that I didn't like, but will try again. I always go into Gap and never buy anything, so will def be trying on some trousers in there next time. I'll take a look at the Bruce Oldfield ones online now. Thank you all :)
