tried them on today but £69 and I'd need to hem them.
They were gorgeous,elasticated waist that was actually flattering and didn't look like pj's.

They weren't in the sale as they are a best seller apparently.

Next have some nice one.
About £25 each.
Not elasticated waist thoguh.
That sounds nasty.

brimfull · 29/06/2007 13:37

they're much better than they sound

what size are you ggirl? i have a pair of white linen trousers from east, elasticated waist, v. good condition, size 16 - was going to ebay them when i get round to it.

fizzbuzz · 29/06/2007 13:44

Have to say, I have M&S ones too, and they are great. Cheap too, and I do tend to drift to the more expensive end of market in trousers, but these are fab

brimfull · 29/06/2007 13:45

I am 14 -16 depending on shop but east comes up quite big doesn't it?
Ideally wanted dark colour as I have cream ones already.Also want them by monday as off to canada .Thanks for offer though.

OP posts:
bossykate · 29/06/2007 13:48

brimfull · 29/06/2007 13:50

i got a great pair of linen trousers from new look last yr, really well cut and flattering... no idea if they have them this year - £15 iirc.

bossykate · 29/06/2007 17:32

actually you could have those - they don't fit any more - must have shrunk in the wardrobe - they are 14/16 - but also white?

brimfull · 29/06/2007 17:34

shall I just come round and steal your wardrobe lol.
I take it you're a skinny minny now

OP posts:
brimfull · 29/06/2007 17:35

OP posts:
bossykate · 29/06/2007 17:38

skinny minny! if only [sigh] am larding it up big style - am blaming increasing girth on 13m without smoking which is a good thing of course.

bossykate · 29/06/2007 17:39

haha you will see my than sylph-like figure doesn't prevent me donning the white linen trews as soon as the weather permits!

brimfull · 29/06/2007 17:41

yeh,I gained when I gave up smoking-well done for giving up though,much better to be smoke free and healthy.
