    Need Jeans/cords that fit

    I got a load of different trousers in the Next sale in size 14 but they were all horribly snug round my opulent thighs, and/or rode down over my bum when I crouched down. So I hung my head in shame and went back for size 16, but these fall off at my still apparently respectable waist unless I cinch miles of fabric up with a belt and then they go all baggy in the front.

    I've got two decent pairs of jeans left now to my name, one from Next size 14 from a couple of years ago and one from Lands End also size 14

    Am desperate for new ones, does anyone know of a make/style which fits curvy ladies?

    M and S ROMA. Fab fit. I hate these low waisted ones, always hiking them up. ROMA fit fabulously

    i like M and S - I find most jeans fit lovely all over, but for this gaping bit at the back waistband

    My sister swears by Debenhams jeans (we haven't got a shop here and I won't buy jeans online so I don't know). I don't like M&S jeans as my size never fits and when I go a size bigger I get the gappy waistband.

    I second New Look jeans - I have a similar problem although my waist seems to be gradually expanding gah!!

    I also have some from Matalan which fit really well but they are the only pair I have ever bought there so can't vouch for all of them!

    My Next ones were my biggest and most comfortable pair, even too big (size 14). For some reason, I seem to have expanded massively since October when I last wore them (Christmas doesn't count because I last tried them before Christmas). Was devastated! I now have NO jeans that fit and have to resort to leggings because I don't want to go up a size, I want to go down! So now on a diet (again). I always have problems with hips and legs being too narrow, and waistbands being too wide as I am a classic pear shape. And why do they make jeans so low waisted that they either slide down or you end up with a horrific muffin top, or is that just me?
