Trousers with rollover tops are nice - google yoga pants. Lands End do a posh version.

You can get really nice roll-top denim jeans from maternity wear manufacturers - seriously - I wear them all the time and no-one is any the wiser!

And Monsoon have lively roll-top linen trousers - I hhave 2 pairts in different colours - very comfortable and attractive.

I am not terrifically huge a size 18 but my shape reminds me of a plump sausage.

Full bust then more or less straight e.g. sausage down from there without much of a hint of a waist.

Legs are not very big so hips bulge out in comparison with top of legs.

Hope I have painted the picture well.

My problem therefore (among many) is trousers. I have to buy ones big enough to go round the invisible waist then the legs are usually huge and baggy.

I would like to find somewhere that caters for people like myself. Elasticated waists I don't like.

Occasionally I am lucky and get a pair to fit reasonably well but instead of going back and buying a couple more I forget or leave it too long and they are then out of stock.
