Jeans that make you skinny

[VerityBrulee]

Just read about these on India Knights blog (big thank you to the MNer who introduced me to it)

Hello Skinnyjeans, my topshop baxters keep slipping down, they look good but drive me crazy. Might be inclined to give these a try.

I like the look of the Barely Bootcut.

mental note to return to this thread after dentist ...

do u think they work? they are £160 !!

You want to wear Spanx Jeans?

I read that CK are doing a 'butt lifting' jean also - can't remember the price.
They do look pretty good.

< ponders whether to spend all of Christmas money on one pair of jeans >

< decides to wait until last half stone is dropped >

I love the idea of these!

(And ditto the comment on the TS baxters.....)

Well, now that I have rid myself of the seemingly hundreds of children who were here today because their parents were back at work and I am a SAHM, I am sitting here with a large bar of Green & Blacks perusing the facts about these jeans.

[[http://www.skinnyjeans.com/html/compare.html These photos seem pretty convincing to me.

try again

Hmmm the photographs are 'cleverly done'

I want to see photos of a size 16 before I spend any money...

they do look very tempting...but appear to have sold out of every single version in my size

Also I'm wondering how comfortable they are? Jeans are supposed to be comfortable after all and spanx (which these effectively are) are not (well not for me anyway).

I think I'd really want to try them on before I spent all that cash on them. I'm not a great jeans wearer, maybe a couple of times a week, so I've never bought expensive ones.

I'll consider them though.

Is my maths screwed or does it work out much cheaper to order direct from the US (delivery to UK is $30)....here

so $208 (for the skinny black ones) would be approx £129 I think. Still expensive but a bit better (and they appear to have more stock).

interesting that they only do tiny sizes - a 25 is about a 6 and the largest i saw was a 34 which is a small 16. you don't need help if you're a size 6!

The model in the pics doesn't really look bad in ANY off the non-hello jeans. Maybe 1 or 2 pairs. You need to see pictures of real people wearing them and regular jeans imo.

Oooo, they have cords on the US site, I love cords.

I saw a woman at the park in a fab pair of cords last summer, they were a fantastic pale pink, I still can't understand why I didn't ask her where they came from.

Things from the states always work out cheaper IME even with the shipping cost.

I am tempted to get out the measuring tape to work out which size I need.

oh ffs of course the skinny jeans look better in the photos, the model is standing differently, they are the right length and probably the right size. CON!

and a darker shade...

O Libra, so cynical

It's true though - the "other jeans" are all a dodgy length worn with comedy shoes in a comedy stance...

verity if your jeans are falling off then try a belt or another style.

uniqlo have some nice skinny cords

The model is squatting in the non-advertised jeans.

Having said that, I am tempted...

Well, if they work they are FUCKING Amazing! They will revolutionise the world and maybe put weight watchers into insolvency ! Before and after shots look like model has lost about 1 to 1 and a half stone from lower body between pictures. I would LOVE these jeans to be the real deal but I just can't see how they could work? Everything we know about suck it in underwear tells us that the fat just sticks out somewhere else (muffin top usually).

Please someone order these jeans and tell us if they work!

OMG!!! India Knight has a blog?!

I whizzed through her book "The Shops" on boxing day and it was a sad moment indeed when I finished it. Ahhhh bliss, a blog!

That's what I want too ChristmasHour, someone else to try them out first

No takers??

MissWooWoo, it is a fab blog and one of the many, many things I would know nothing about were it not for MN
