I’m short and fat and need a really nice pair of jeans.

5,2, 11st and all I can find are stretchy, indigo monstrosities.

I want a structured pair of real jeans in something a shade darker than stonewash. Skinny fit, no bootcut and no straight up and down.

Does this exist? Many thanks Grin

I'm going to come in with my regular recommendation of m&s. If they still do the relaxed skinny ones they were pleasingly low in stretch and flattering for the more petite and plump of us.

I am a hourglass/pear with a Lower tummy pouch and these were my best jeans. Size 14 and 5 3

A friend of mine is a similar height and weight to you and really likes the Levis shaping skinnies. No idea how stretchy or not they may be I am afraid.

Tesco contour fit are exactly what you describe. You can buy them online through next. Sizing is pretty generous - I am a 14-16, 5ft 3 and wear a 14 short.

That’s fab, an afternoon of online shopping and baileys awaits (diet to commence Jan Grin).

Like you I’m a 14 too with a pear shape.

Sorry, I don't know what you are mean by structured jeans, but I'm the same height and weight as you, and my best fitting jeans are Joules Monroe, size 14. I have them in black and they're lovely - high waisted so they don't feel like they're cutting me in half when I bend down, stretchy, and skinny fit.

"what you mean" not "what you ARE mean"!

NEXT petite range or M&S short range are really good. They make proper jeans, not just jeggins
