I need a trouser intervention.

Please be kind. You S and B lot scare the shit out of me.

To start with I will confess that I am fat and 40. I like, no really I do even if you don't, Fat Face, White Stuff, Joules etc.

I'm currently living in Fat Face 5 pocket jeggings, which I have moved onto from leggings. I don't do jeans.
I'm feeling that the jeggings aren't doing me any favours but being large or arse and thigh I find it very hard to find anything that fits and is comfortable.

So, what do I want? Please remember that I have thighs that could kill a man. Nothing ever fits them.

I've got loads of dresses. I want some trousers too.

Harem trousers?

Try a pair of Not Your Daughter's Jeans. They aren't cheap but you should be able to find a pair on sale for around £70 to try. They are a US brand so you have to work out sizing. I'm a uk 14 so I buy a 10 in these but some cuts I'd go higher and some cuts lower. Most comfortable things aside from leggings.

I am small of waist and enormous of arse/thigh. I find it really hard to get trousers. I often buy a larger size for thighs and have the waist taken in. For jeggings/skinny jeans a good thick fabric is key in my opinion- I like topshop Jamies. I've also found that cigarette pants with the right waist (mid-high waist) can be very flattering once altered for my waist.
