Think these might suit normal shaped women?!

I'm nearly 50. Size 10-12. 5'7. I DO NOT have the washboard stomach that this model has. 🤣🤣 Any chance these wouldn't look shocking?!!!

I really like them. You don't need to flash your stomach surely? I'd probably have them in a few different colours tbh.

What exactly is a normal woman? Model looks pretty normal to me.

Royalbloo · 01/04/2023 21:02

I think they're lovely, if you want green trousers. But wtf, this model isn't what normal 50yr olds look like. Nowt wrong with that but what is the PP on?!

Hmm. mid rise, stretchy fabric. Looks like they have a bit of a sheen (or is that the lighting?) They wouldn’t be for me, but you can always give them a try and return if not right?

looking at the poses in the pink and blue photos, they really do look quite unforgiving! But go for it if you have good thighs 😁

Unforgiving. Exactly. Think that nails it. 🤣

I've got good legs to be honest, but I think the good legs might not make up for the midriff.

The cords look nice too...

If you have good legs and carry weight on your midriff then these sort of flares probably won’t do you any favours? The silhouette is in at the waist, tight on hips, flaring out on legs.

I also dislike the shiny stretchy material, not a fan of the green colour , just not worth the price tag.

Sorry you did ask 😂

They’re terrible, sorry. I’m young and size 6/8 and I wouldn’t wear them.

Not even the models look good in them.

Agree. They are horrible. Horrible in all colours. The fake details to make them look not stretchy pull on are especially awful.

Sorry but they are horrible. Even on the slim, tall model they are awful.

Microwaveexpert · 02/04/2023 03:09

Yeah sorry I find them quite ugly, even on the gorgeous model.
For the money you can do a lot better
