i agree take them back.say theyve lost shape after one wear and its not good enough as poor value for money!

topshop jeggings are very good btw!no saggy knees around her!

Don't bend your knees. Ever.

That should do it.

cheesesarnie · 07/06/2010 13:02

but theyre obviously crap!unless you like saggy knees ofcourse!

If I could find a pair of jeans that didn't have some sort of shifty detailing I'd buy them - I want plain indigo blue, no fading etc.

even if I don't bend my knees you still get the baggyness form the first time I wore them. What about a size smaller or tumble dryer?

Navy I think I have these jeggings, are they the super soft ones that are more of a very soft stretchy denim than leggings pretending to be jeans iyswim?

If so I am on my third pair. First pair went really baggy at knees so they took them back and recommended size smaller. Second pair got a massive hole in the knee on first day of wearing them just from normal getting up and down off the floor with DC's. They took them back and said they'd had quite a lot back with same problem as the fabric is so soft. Now on third pair which I only wear when not with DC's and do on very gentle wash.

I'm afraid that I also love them but I think the design is severely flawed for everyday wear. Maybe they'll bring out something similar but improved?

Belle, yes they are the ones, they are so nice!!

I'm going to take them back tomorrow and see if a size smaller helps - luckily I only wear them for grown up activities so a hole in the knee shouldn't happen.
