So I bought the Hush harem rip offs from Ebay...

And they are lovely! Obviously the material isn't quite as nice quality, it's thinner I guess and I don't know how they will wash. But they are 6 bloody quid as opposed to 55! They are so comfy, look really nice and the fit is great. I am a 12/14 and I ordered... 12/14 and they are perfect. I am 5ft3 and have short legs and the length is great, perhaps slightly long but they don't massively bag over the cuff like the Hush ones did on me, and there would be length room for someone with longer legs as well (which is everyone). I'm definitely going to order in some more colours, there are tonnes!

These are the ones I ordered - sorry, I don't like doing actual links as I worry that it will reveal my personal details or something!

Has anyone bought the ebay harems in the size 8-10? What's the sizing like? I find the Hush size 8 harems huge on me, so looking for something similar that doesn't swamp me.

Ah the power of Mumsnet! Looked at the eBay link this morning and 48 were sold in the last 24 hours and now it's up to 75. Happy seller!

I'm a size 20. Will I look like a giant toddler in these?

kalinkafoxtrot45 · 06/04/2019 10:02

Just ordered a black pair, let’s see!!

BarbieJellyBabyBrain · 06/04/2019 10:04

I am a 12/14 pear shape and the 12/14 in these is pretty much a perfect fit and I find they fit better around the waist than the Hush ones as there is just too much material.

I bent over in them and asked DH if he could see through them and he said no. Smile

The true test is would you leave the house in them?

bobstersmum · 06/04/2019 10:10

Is everyone just ordering black? I am not daring enough to wear any other colour!

Puttingofftheironing · 06/04/2019 10:14

I've just order fushia!! I'm sick of being in drab colours so I'm going to channel Angel in escape to the chateaux....but in a blonde hair, no makeup, no kimono kinda way..... thanks for the recommendation x

I've just ordered charcoal grey Grin

earlybirdhasanap · 06/04/2019 10:21

I just ordered three pairs. Black, mocha and charcoal. I figure even if I won't leave the house in them they'll be good for being comfortable post partum. Although dp HATED the jumpsuit when I bought it last year (I'm wine colour) but I got the wrong size and it was huge.

CheersSonsCryingNiceOne · 06/04/2019 10:34

I've just ordered a black pair and aztec pair before seeing this thread. I bought some on a whim a while back and they are lovely. They do bobble eventually but if you hang them to dry rather than machine dry that cuts the bobbling down.

Just bought a charcoal pair 😬

VioletCharlotte · 06/04/2019 10:50

Just ordered a black pair xx

Summer15coming · 06/04/2019 12:14

I hadn't ever considered wearing these until I clicked on this link and now I've ordered a teal jumpsuit and mocha trousers Blush. I've gone for an 8-10; have people found that size to be accurate? The colours of the trousers seem to be much lighter in the pictures than their descriptions would suggest, so I'm expecting/hoping the mocha to be darker than shown.

evilharpy · 06/04/2019 12:46

I don’t know what size to get. They come in 8-10 and 12-14. I’m a 10-12.

FrontRowSeat · 06/04/2019 12:52

Has anyone got a link to the eBay jumpsuit please?

Shazafied · 06/04/2019 12:56

An thanks for the update ! I can’t wait to order these now !

Uhtredswoman · 06/04/2019 17:57

Agh! Bought the jumpsuit last year, now have the harems! Blush

ShopoholicIn · 06/04/2019 19:15

Hi how long will they be approximately for 5'9" .. any pointers please

Featherstep · 06/04/2019 19:25

Could anyone please advise on how stretchy the waistband is?
I'm an 8 and 20 weeks pregnant, and would like to try these in the 8-10 if they have reasonable stretch.
Thank you in advance!

Lelelel26 · 06/04/2019 20:03

I’m a 14-16 and got a 12-14 and they fit great, I’m 5’7 1/2 and length is just fine.

ScarlettDarling · 06/04/2019 20:06

I love harems, got a couple of pairs from Next's tall range. But at 5'11" I can't see these being any good for me!

Napssavelives · 06/04/2019 20:29

@Featherstep they are stretchy. I’m a size 8 pre pregnancy and now 30 weeks. I wear them under the bump but they are really comfy.

Notmorewashing · 06/04/2019 20:31

Waiting for a post wash review !

JeanMichelBisquiat · 06/04/2019 20:34

Do they stretch out and bag at the knee, though? My main criterion....
