Has anyone bought the Moritz jeans?

Hesitant on sizing.
My Hush boyfriend jeans are a slightly snug after a wine and cheese holiday size 10.

Just wondering about length and comparable sizing.

Need to order quickly as 10% expires!

Soy yes the picture you posted had very similar, yy the playsuits I couldn’t think of the name, Mum used to always make them with lace or broderie anglais trim & clarks leather t-bar sandals/Mary janes & remember being desperate for heels, I think that’s what left me a lifelong need for collecting high heels.
Soups I’m living my dd’s early childhood all over again at the moment with smocked dresses etc for dgd , luckily dd loves her in them😂 but yy letting them chose when they show an interest.

I think I must’ve shrunk in the wash, the DMs are massive too! Also when I tried them on with the hush girlfriend cords my husbands comment was that I looked “a bit paramilitary” so it might be back to the drawing board with that styling....

@Ellapaella just seen your outfit on the other thread - looks great, really love the style. Hope you had a lovely evening out.

I am contemplating what to wear today. Still in PJs at lunchtime, whoops

We're meeting friends for dinner tonight. I am thinking about new rocket skirt from Hush or starry Kensington dress that I am so happy I managed to nab, it's a fab dress.

Yes soups the smock dresses...except I remember wearing them till I was around 8/9 years old! by which time we were already in the early 70’s. I of course rebelled in my later teens and remember deliberately cutting off the bottoms of the jeans I wasn’t allowed to wear when younger (kind of home made stressing you now but in the shops) paired with huge t shirts...and my grandmother who was always immaculate actually refusing to go out with me dressed like that 😂 but yes I actually liked those clothes when I was younger and was given a choice on the fabric/trimming and it was a lot of fun. My grandmother was so lovely I only mortified her once with my ripped jeans and carried on going with her to the seamstress visits and even though by then I also liked “off the peg” fashions continued to indulge her (and me) choosing fabrics and a new dress/skirt/shirt well into my twenties (by which time I was already living in GB so it would be restricted to my annual visit Home).
I remember one of the last things I had tailor made was in my mid twenties: a tweed suit but with a modern twist as the skirt was above the knee and with a great contrasting bright satin lining in the jacket. A bit like Boden do these days with Harris tweed. And there’d be different seamstresses for different clothes: the ones that made the suit were highly skilled tailors whereas the everyday cotton shirts would be a different lot.
How interesting your grandfather was a tailor. Tbh if I stopped buying so much online and saved the pennies I could probably afford to have a beautifully made jacket or shirt tailor made now once a year...there’s food for thought for us all.
And if you go on hols to places like Hong Kong or Thailand tailoring is still a thriving business not just reserved for the very well off. Choose your fabric or silk and voila! A perfectly tailored silk shirt in 3/4 working days (I have 4 still in regular use for work in my wardrobe).

I love the starry Kensington dress soups it definetely needs an outing before it gets too cold!

So Hush Kensington, just worried it’s too long on me?

soups it looks gorgeous! Not too long at all. Will be perfect with ankle boots.

Thank you @soy thought I might try white trainers with it.

@twosoups1972 it's looks lovely, length is good.

Soy suit sounds divine, yy the Far East or India for very reasonable tailoring, I have some linen trousers that I had made to measure in India years ago, still going strong.
Soups dress looks lovely.

Boden cropped chinos £24 in their sale Really like them .Ihave ordered the rust M&S ones linked above to try but still thinking about the Poetry ones. boots should be here today also, then I can finally decide on the Hush black ones.
No no-spend bench here atm!!

The Boden ones are definitely summer trousers. Loose but I like that ..

Kensington looks great on you soups keep keep

Ooh Laska they really look good👍 I’m only the no spend bench because I’m idiot with money😂 must admit the poetry ones are also lovely.

I have those chinos laska but much prefer the version they did last year, so much more comfortable somehow and I don't where the rust coloured ones anything like as much! I don't leave the house very often so my clothes aren't especially seasonal, i tend to bung a cardigan on top of whatever I'm wearing with the exception of summer dresses ( which have hardly had an outing recently due to bloody freezing weather this year)

Here with blue dyed sweat ( im really pleased with how that turned out)

You'll need a photo with that!!

Laska i do like the Boden crops on
you 😍 and such a great colour!
Well, as far as no spend goes I’m a fraud given my recent Hush parcel and keeping the tux jacket. I’m sending back the sale zebra pink/orange trousers (Huge on me even on a 10 and weird nylon fabric put me right off) but considering keeping the green v neck wide top And the red long sleeved Kensington dress...

soups yes I was going to add trainers for the Kensington too, great combo.

Forgot to say, the blue dye stuff came out really well.

Meant to add shame about the DM’s taybert they looked so promising on the online pic...

len you and I were childhood clothing twins

Soy I think we were😂

And that last tweed suit I had made under grandmothers’ “instructions” was still going strong for a good decade after (I’ve since given away to charity). I remember returning to work after maternity leave in 1997 after DS2 and the receptionist at work (she was fierce, I guess in her late 50’s then and ruled the office) commenting approvingly:
“How nice to see you getting your tweed out for winter Soy” it wasn’t said with any hint of sarcasm either. She thoroughly approved!

I still keep a hand knitted jumper my grandmother made me for sentimental reasons...

Aww Soy lovely memories, I have a knitted blanket my my mum made & the shawl she knitted for Ds baptism which was used for both dd & baptisms as well.
