How fat is too fat for jeans?

[genericname]

I wear dresses that are knee length because I think 'I can be fat and wear horrible clothes or I can be fat and wear this nice thing', but for some reason I don't wear jeans.

My legs are massive. I usually wear a size 18/20 top/dress. I just measured my legs and it's 27 inches round the middle of my thigh and 19 on my calf!

I do however need casual stuff to schlep about in and to wear to the park/shops etc.

Am I just too fat thorough? Will you be able to see my cellulite?

DD is similar size. She lives in Eden jeggings from Dorothy Perkins.
Next 360 degree jeans.

I get a feeling that you do not want to wear a Jeans not because of your size but probably because you don't feel comfortable. I mean the texture and the cloth being slightly heavier than the other counterparts. Think about it and ask yourself if its the reason.

Anyone can wear jeans, OP! If you don't get on with the M&S ones, the curve jeans in New Look might be worth a try

Nope that's not the reason Emma

No such thing . If they are available in your size you can wear them same as anything else

Emma I think you may have something there. I found I had to try lots of jeans on before finding comfy ones for me. I have a problem that I can no longer wear belts or have pressure on my upper abdomen. So, the shape I am (pear) means that I have to adapt the waistband. It’s fine because I wear tops over the waistband so, it’s not seen anyway.

OP, Sainsbury’s do the softest, softest skinny’s and I’ve a few pairs now, to go on into winter.

Lady M&S are on the large side but...They DO shrink if you dry them in a drier. I’ve had a couple of different styles from them and found them a size smaller after drying. Gave them to my much slimmer sister 😊

Suki if you squeeze into the M&S ones after they've been in the drier they loosen up quite quickly. It's just those first few minutes that they feel too small.

M and S trousers are generously sized, especially the elasticated ones. I'm in a size 10 pair of their leggings at the moment and have size 12 jeggings from there. Yet I wear a 14-16 elsewhere! So if ordering online may be worth sizing down. I expect if you're normally an 18, a 16 in treggings would fit.

Oops I didn't notice page 3.

Don't tumble dry the M & S ones whatever you do. Mine were a good 3" shorter afterwards and I had to replace them!

JaneEyre. I thought I was putting on weight as my M&S ones goes tighter and tighter each time they were washed and dried!

Millie thanks. I had to give up on them after shrinkage. I have a scar which prevents anything being worn that puts pressure on my abdomen. So, rather than elasticated waists I opt for “customising” the Sainsbury’s ones. If I make a dogs dinner of it....they’re not too expensive 😊

Stretchy jeans in general get wrecked by the tumble dryer. Learned this the hard way. I’m an idiot.

Also, bras.

tis not the size but the rolls that ooze over that I try to avoid, if they fit that is grand, if they are too small I feel awkward in them.

I agree, comfort is everything for stuff you wear everyday and relax in.
