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!

I would love to see a real life pic if someone is willing to post. I’ve got the hush ones in khaki & hardly wear them as they’re such a ball ache to iron & one leg has twisted slightly 😡.

Tatapie · 07/04/2019 21:44

They look super baggy. Are they in real life? Thanks

CoffeeRunner · 07/04/2019 21:52

I’ve got some but they are a bit short for me!

5ft 9. And they are incredibly thin.

bebeboeuf · 07/04/2019 22:10

Thanks will give these a go!

fermezlabouchee · 07/04/2019 22:38

Well I've just bought a pair as look super comfy for round the house. Would love if they looked ok just to pop into town in/ walk the dog (town being a tiny one and 30 seconds from my front door)

3boysandabump · 07/04/2019 22:58

Ooh I have these in my basket might actually go ahead and order them after all

iamH · 07/04/2019 23:12

Are these going to suit a size 18 Apple though 🤔
I really want some 😀

NearlyVegan · 08/04/2019 00:03

I've got these and they are brilliant

MiniMum97 · 08/04/2019 00:15

@BarbieJellyBabyBrain what are the strategies for dealing with the sticky out bits?

greenpop21 · 08/04/2019 08:56

Thin material on a anything but a super tight bum is not good. This is what puts me off.

I don't think the material is that thin? Yes, it's thin in comparison to the Hush ones, but they are quite thick and weighty I find (not necessarily in a bad way). Like I said, I bent over in the black ones and you can't see my arse through the material or anything!

@MiniMum97

You tuck the sticky out bits in, so they are like pockets. Then you take the points of those pockets from the inside and then tie them together with a hair bobble (you can also pin them together but I found the hair bobble method was fine). When you wear them, the tied together bits sit just in front of your body. Ah, can't wait to get my adult baby grows out again this summer, love them! Grin

In case it's helpful to anyone ..

I ordered the jumpsuit (recommenced above) and it's great. It came in 2 days.

I am a size 16 and ordered the 16/18, it's definitely wide enough, it's as wide as it is long. I am 5 foot 6 and it comes to just above my knees at the longest point. The material feels very nice, it's drapey and not clingy, I ordered the wine colour and it's a good colour. The straps are a good length so not too much cleavage is showing and it doesn't show bra at the back either.

Thanks for the recommendation.

Ps. It totally feels like an adult Romper.

greenpop21 · 09/04/2019 14:27

OK, it's not so much seeing my underwear through them but cellulite!

Notmorewashing · 09/04/2019 20:55

Has anyone washed these yet ?

Coffeetablejunk · 09/04/2019 21:44

I’ve washed mine and they are fine, not a problem. Just need to decide now if I need the jump suit!

Nicketynac · 09/04/2019 22:30

How low down is the crotch? Are my thighs going to rub together like they do in skirts?

earlybirdhasanap · 10/04/2019 12:45

Well mine have arrived. I went for the
Medium. They're not very flattering but I suspect that's because I'm 8 months pregnant and nothing looks good at the moment. They are comfortable though.

Mine came today n not happy with it. They shiuld have been baggy but are in between trousers n harem pants. Will start the return process

Namechangedcositstime · 10/04/2019 18:48

Mine arrived today. Quick delivery. I ordered a size 16/18 and I am a 16 normally. I got the maxi colour, it's nice. I like the fit, it's loose but bit slouchy, the waist band is nice and thick as are the ankle cuffs.

I don't think I would wear them out but they are great for in the house and dog walking, I will definitely order more.

ThomasRichard · 10/04/2019 18:59

I bought the jumpsuit (in 2 colours 🐑) last year. I wore them with white t-shirts underneath and they were so comfy. I just paired them with some nice flip-flops and felt fine out and about.

Decormad38 · 10/04/2019 19:02

Got mine today. They dont look like harem pants. I’ve lost the harem. Perhaps they look better when you’re stick thin! Anyway keeping them cos they are comfortable but wouldn’t wear them outside!

hollieberrie · 10/04/2019 19:07

Got mine today! I'm very short - 5ft1 - and they are a little bit long for me but still like them! Thanks for the tip OP.

HollyBollyBooBoo · 10/04/2019 19:23

Got mine today, fine for round the house but wouldn't go out in them! They're very thin. At 5'4 they're the perfect length.
