Preferably with an elasticated waist and wide legs. Not too expensive as I want to lose weight, so hopefully won't need to wear them forever. Thanks.

M&S have lots of different ones.

Thanks I looked on M&S and they all look a bit old lady to me! Perhaps they look better in real life. Forgot to say I want black. I am currently wearing my maternity black jersey trousers. I want some just like that but without them falling down!

BTW I have a 7 month old and since havign him can now only get into 3 pairs of my old trousers! I am thoroughly bored with them!

Try Hush. They do some lovely wide legged trousers with flattering fold-over tops

Oh tulpe that is just what I want but sadly the ones you describe aren't made in my size. They stop at a size 16

Thanks. I am not sure if the 18 will fit. I was an 18 but most of my clothes now don't fit, hence the need for these trousers to see me though xmas! Is Sweaty Betty on the small or big side of 18?

Anyone know how stretchy the white company ones are? I am tempted to order some!

I'm living in these. Wore them when I was pg and they are soooo comfy so I bought them in a much smaller size and they're lovely. I'm a size 20/22 and wear these in a 16. They have a turn top which is better for me as an elasticated waist would cut me in half.

Oooh, those White Company ones look nice. Similar to what I'm wearing but I desperately want grey trousers as am sick of black. Would they fit me do you think?

Oh rockbird, they look good! I am going into town in a mo so might have a look in Next. Not somewhere I normally shop. They tend to cater for pear shapes and I am an apple shape.

White co ones v stretchy but thighs quite slim.

RockBird · 19/12/2009 15:53

Well I've ordered some and I'll see what happens. They just look so comfy which is my main consideration, old gimmer that I am!

rockbird you are bird after my own heart. tracey, if thighs slim then I might be OK, as that is my only bit that is smallish! Think I might risk it too.

quite a few by Young Fabulous and Broke in the my-wardrobe sale here

My White Company trousers turned up today. They're lovely and soft, slighty more tracksuit bottomy than I wanted but they would just about work with boots and a decent top. Love the roll top though. The buggers reduced them from £25 to £17.50 a couple of days ago though, too late for me
