errrm.... wash them on hot then tumble dry and hope they shrink?
wear with a belt? annoying I know, I've had this problem and they just end up looking bulky..
sell them to a someone else, then go back and get a 12?!
I tried on gap skinnies a while back.. to get them over my thighs I needed a size too big for my waist!

OrvilleRedenbacher · 08/04/2007 18:18

well they are up for sale if anyone wants em

Look all over very carefully for any fault so you could return them - is there a loose bit of hem or anything at all that you could be picky about?

Someone on here might want them?

OrvilleRedenbacher · 08/04/2007 18:19

reg lenght - great for flat shoes

Belt, stuff yer face with chocolate, wear massive knickers or adult nappies, adopt the builder's cleavage look, hire a seamstress, try taking them back, cry

OrvilleRedenbacher · 08/04/2007 18:21

I will make them kind

OP posts:
OrvilleRedenbacher · 08/04/2007 18:21

It is a sort of fault though - getting too loose. Can't you complain that the denim is too flimsy after 2 wears and becomes baggy therefore they are not skinnies at all - rambling again

OrvilleRedenbacher · 08/04/2007 18:47

like baggies?
ar:0 that will eb my tack

Tutter · 08/04/2007 18:49

OrvilleRedenbacher · 08/04/2007 21:19

htat makes it worse
i KNOW that every other pari in my wardroveb( part fom one pair i swear must be mislabbaled cos htey almost give me an appendectomy and are suposed to be a UK 12) are a 10 ( in some freaky way) or a 12

wtf was the 14

i dunno

harpsichordcarrier · 08/04/2007 21:21

it's always russian roulette with jeans tbh. I have about three pairs of gap jeans from ages ago that never really fit. but I can't quite bear to chuck them in case I miraculously become that sixe for half an hour
