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 got mine today too, I'm happy with them ☺️ 33 weeks pregnant so I've had to pull them up over bump but I'm only 5'3 so that's fine! I've tucked the hems under at the ankle and prefer them that way...
Thanks op!

Mine came today and I'm currently wearing them. Oh sweet Jesus are they comfy! I ordered them to wear around the house. @Nicketynac the crotch is in the normal crotch place, not low at all.

Fairypiggy · 10/04/2019 21:51

I was inspired by this thread and have ordered some too. They came today, so comfy! I am 5’4 and length is ok for me. As others have said I think I would mostly wear around the house.

millythepink · 10/04/2019 21:51

I've ordered the charcoal grey. Will wear with black vest top and pewter leather cage heels (but need to get tanned arms first).

Balloondog · 11/04/2019 10:22

Hmm, mine arrived and whilst they're not terrible, I'm glad I only spent £6 on them. They sit very strangely about the crotch with a resulting effect of bagginess at the front and skin tight, like leggings at the back Confused

I've checked and I definitely have them the right way round (though I have also tried wearing them back to front, it made no difference). I guess I must just be a strange shape! I'm a pear shape but I'm almost 40 and have never had this problem before Hmm

Greyhound22 · 11/04/2019 12:29

Got mine yesterday- I really like them - I'm 5'1 (but with quite long legs) and I don't think they would fit anyone tall.

I don't think they're only for around the house 🤷‍♀️ I've just been to craft morning at DS's school in them and I'm popping to my friend's house now. DH said they look nice.

Any pics of people's fit that might help others

BarbarAnna · 11/04/2019 18:54

Mine arrived today and are on! So comfy! I am 5ft 9, large of thigh, tummy and arse and would normally wear a longer length trouser. They are fine length wise! I often have to wear things like this ‘low slung’ to get the length but these are fine sitting on the waist. Very happy with them!

NoBaggyPants · 11/04/2019 19:03

Mine haven't turned up, and the seller is being very difficult! He says the tracking shows they've been delivered, but won't provide me with the tracking number.

Have others been delivered by a trackable method?

BarbarAnna · 11/04/2019 19:34

Mine were delivered Royal Mail. Stuffed through the letterbox.

DH just came home and said he is jealous of my new ‘comfies’

bingohandjob · 11/04/2019 22:56

Ordered black and grey and really happy with them - am in Spain right now and they're perfect for this weather. Not see through. Washed and dried in tumble drier and all good. Bargain. Will order more.I love that they are 'cuffed' at ankle. Got more of a definite shape.

FleurNancy · 12/04/2019 00:53

I bought two pairs last year, no pockets means I never wear them plus the waistband is too thin (am a 14/16). I much prefer my Hush ones. I do have a decent pair of Primark ones though WITH pockets!!

bebeboeuf · 12/04/2019 07:02

Mine just arrived. Horribly thin waistband. No pockets.

I’m a size 12 but these are very unflattering.

I may wear them about the house but they don’t even seem that comfortable.

You can’t see through the material but because it’s cheap material it doesn’t hide much either.

ScarlettDarling · 12/04/2019 09:21

Mine arrived and as I suspected, far too short. I should have known as I'm 5'11" but was swayed by a few other tall posters who said they were fine. I'll give mine to my mum to wear in the garden!

JeremyIronsBenFolds · 12/04/2019 10:27

Just want to say thanks for this thread! I ordered a pair in black on the strength of it and I'm really pleased! They are thin material and the waistband is a bit flimsy, but the material hangs really nicely and they're the most flattering pair I've ever had. Not see-through either. I'm 5'9" with long legs and they could be a tiny bit longer, but I love the cuffed ankles, and for the price they're great. I'm a size 12 and I got the M/L. I'm going to wear them on my long-haul flight next week and sit in comfort Grin.

BarbieJellyBabyBrain · 12/04/2019 12:16

Hi, OP here! So I have washed them and can report back that they are absolutely fine. The waistband is flimsy but actually that's kind of a good thing - you know when you wash something and the elasticated waistband goes twisty and it's really hard to untwist back? Well with these because it's flimsy it's really easy to twist back Grin

No the quality isn't great, but these are brill for around the house, perhaps when the weather is hot and you just want something thin and comfy, long journeys, school run, 'lounge wear' etc. I will probably wear mine to work in the summer as well, but I work in a school and its not a strict dress code.

Glad to see they are polarising people like the jumpsuit did Grin

I bought some on the basis of this post, but mine are too short, I'm only just over 5'6 but they come just below my calves - I wonder whether they are different lengths. Otherwise they would have been fine.

BarbarAnna · 12/04/2019 12:27

Thanks OP. I am so pleased with mine, I have ordered a second pair.

JeremyIronsBenFolds · 12/04/2019 13:28

I imagine because they're so cheap/mass produced the sizing probably varies between them as well. So it depends if you get lucky!
