Top shop BAXTERs compared to MARTHAs

[BadgersArse]

do not want to look like na inverted skittle with big feet

are they very skinny

iirc, the Baxters are much tighter in the lower leg. Martha's far more flattering, imo (although annoyingly the last time I looked for indigo ones, they only had them with weird flap pockets on the bum ?? )

yes have flap things atm
so do the bazters make your feet look liuek big flippers?

I have both. Marthas are more flattering, but the baxters aren't really really skinny. (I am a size 12 and am over 35 and they look fine on me imo. )

I remember the first time round trying to get my feet out of the jeans when I was taking them off! wouldn't want to go through that again at my age. might fall over and break a hip! lol. well not quite, but I do remember the 80s!

baxters best with boots, but ok with sandals too.

Well I had the marthas because they ar small of bum but eventually they started sliding down without a belt and so I sold at car boot for 2 quid Skinnies better.Zara do a semi skinny in the teen section and the biggest size is a perfect fit if you ar funny shape like me and you.Come in every colour too

yes, I wear a belt with my Marthas. They are my work jeans.

I hate to say the word so will say it quietly (N E X T) but they do the best high street jeans imo. Their skinnies are far, far better than baxters, quite a bit cheaper as well.

I am very long waisted and baxters reveal my bum cleavage - Next ones slightly longer in the waist (but still hipsters iyswim)

funny shape?
YOu noddoid?!

i always like the next coloured skinnys they do in teh winter for like £20

have ordered both
yes my marthas need a belt too - the 12 start off tight then get lsoser

I bought Martha jeans in a twelve and they are very big on the waist compared to my other size twelve topshop trousers (all petite), they are quite new, so yes have annoying flappy thing on the pockets... has anyone seen martha jeans in petite, I bought the 30 leg, but they are still a bit long on me, I usually buy TP petite, but my local shop only has pippa jeans in petite and they are so skinny.

I really love my new tp black trousers, they are quite high waisted, and very comfy.

Not enough bum to hold them up securely without a belt! Gap Levis or zara best fit ime

I think zara would be too long for me.... Gap too far away.

Zara has an alterations service (or at least our local one does). It cost me £6 to have some trousers taken up

Baxters are a great jean - I have the indigo and they really are excellent. Not too skinny, but skinny enough around the bum, hips, thighs, calfs. Look great with boots, mary jane shoes or sandals.

Don;t get the vintage baxter though, they have trendy near-holes on them but one wrong move with your toes, and they become just big gaping holes.

thansk all for advice

will report in later

I also hate jeans that start off ok and then get loose. Only ones that fit me ok are Gap L&L but want to get something straighter for winter so will be awaiting your feedback!

ah grapey but i have some mathras already but are too short fo rheels ( 32) i need the 34 for heels

my faves of all time are the Gap straight i got a couple of eyars ago but are a bit tight on the old gut atm

the marthas are VERY flattering thigh wise btu yes do gape on day two.
bt worth it and good "going out " jeans as dont show your fat white stretchy mark back

but orangina said try the bazters so here i am

Same prob here with my Martha's - now need a belt. Considering buying size down to see if this solves the prob.

Gap now sell online through ASOS.

And I even find Gap sizing has gone a bit strange since they went over to inches rather than sizing so they don't fit as well as they used to...

hi, today I bought a pair of Martha's. I'm size 8 but the marthas were VERY tight. however once done up i was pleased with them. Having tried them on at home i'm concerned about flesh spillage over the snug waist-line - its minimal but will affect which tops I can wear. Do you reckon they may give a bit?!

ok well teh 34 inch Marthas were nice but too long even with heels

the BAXTERs omg - you said they werent very tight
at one point i had to sit on the floor to PEEL them off me
