Can anyone recommend well-fitting "Mummy" jeans

Ok folks. Have had the baby (x3), am doing the breastfeeding, am going for long, healthy walks and have managed to get back to pre-preg weight pretty much. However, may be the same weight but certainly not the same shape! Can anyone recommend some well-cut for a mummy skinny (or otherwise) jeans?
I have the overhang belly and low-rise jeans just don't do it for me. Anyone know where I can get skinny jeans that I don't have to hoik up over the flabby area. Preferably over the internet.
Thank you!

I like M&S Per Una

If you're feeling like spending some £££ then definitely try J Brand mid rise jeans they do skinny/straight/bootcut whatever. For less ££ try Oasis Cherry (straight leg). Both are high waisted enough to stop the hang over but not high enough to give you a long bottom (if you see what I mean)!

I need the answer to this too! I am desperately in need of some skinny/slim jeans as I've only got bootcut and feel a bit outdated in those but I've been horribly shamed by ordering some lovely jigsaw skinny cords and finding that I cannot do the zip up over my flabby belly!

Absolutely have the answer, if you can find them? NYDJ jeans apeared on Oprah a few years ago and are now sold over here. I get mine in Fenwicks. You normally buy two sizes smaller than your normal size as they are designed to hold you in, and they look, and feel fantastic over all sorts of curves . Maybe someone will find a link but I know you can google them. They are BRILLIANT for post baby sag

I have two recommendations:

Asda's straightleg or skinny jeans are mid-rise and keep tummies tucked in They are a bargainous £12 per pair.

Boden's straight leg jeans are even better as they don't have as much stretch in them and therefore keep their shape better for longer. The indigo ones are really great. They aren't as high waisted as the Asda ones but the waist is tapered so that they don't gape at the back. Rather they properly follow the shape of most women

Well, thank you everyone! I heard about the jeans on Oprah. Will nip down to Asda until can get to Fenwicks! Cheers!
