Trousers!

doctor evil

Where can I find a decent pair of trousers that will suit developed hips and a smaller waist? (I`m a girl ). I`m sick of living in O`Neills, it does`nt matter if they are demin or whatever. I`m just sick of trying on pairs that fit my hips but are massive around the waist or ones that I can`t get past my hips! :rolleyes: .

Thanks!

I've exactly the same goddam problem...grrr. I'm about a size 8 or so, but am kinda curvy, plus i'm also ickle, so it's a flippin pain to find anything in my leg length...but other than than that there are advantages to being ickle, yay, go ickle-ness.

Anyway, back to original debacle..my solution for trousers is....(now by good trousers I don't know what you mean..so I'm just taking what I see as good trousers....)
1) Topshop- petite range,they av a style of jeans, called lola methinks, they're pretty good, sit on ur hips, and are quite comfy, problem tho is taking up ye old leg

2) River Island jeans-go for their flared ones...purdy, but expensive tho, but I've always found that the flared ones are fairly good on the hips, plus they also different leg lenghts- xxl, xl, l r, s, xs. which is quite handy

3) Can't for the life of me remember the name of the shop...think it's Helter Skelter, but I remeber bout 6 months ago at the start of uni a friend had problems getting trousers of a certain kind, so this crowd made her a pair that she wanted, again, pricey but...

4) Dorothy Perkins- now I've had no luck here, as their size 8 is like a size 10 or 12 in me-boooooourns-but they are fairly accomodating on the whole waist/hip thing

5) Was recommended Miss Sixty jeans a while ago by a girl in work...still av to try them, but she swears by them...must ch-ch-check 'em out at some stage

6) Levis used to have a style too, 544, but they discontinued that (shakes fist in anger at pesky Levis Kids), they were AMAZING, fitted perfectly, a lil bit flared so sat over jeans and dealt perfectly with the whole waist/hips difference....grrr, I want those jeans again...grrr.

7) If it's mainly tracky bums your looking for, try Hairy Legs off liffey street, they've some decent susst ones, nice and comfy.

I wouldnt even bother trying Awear, Miss Selfridge, Dunnes, Penneys, etc-not a hope in hell. Maybe go into BT2 or O connors (how it pains me to say these things....shakes fist...yet again...) but u'd get a decent selection in there, and depending on the staff member, you might someone who is not pretenious, self obsessed, condescnding...but....anyway, you'd get an idea of what to look for.

I've always found it really difficult...being ickl and curvy is a bit of a pain at times, but hey, it's tough being perfect Good luck anyway and let me know how u get on

Ickle ??? is that some sort of disease?

inflight

Miss Sixtys never fail, always look good and are really comfy.. I love them so much, but I don't have big hips so I dunno!
