So, you can get measured and advised for a bra.............

I have found them! I too lost faith in the Michelangelesque qualities of "those" jeans BUT some Per Una straight jeans with the tiniest bit of "bling" on the back pockets (£39.50) fit beautifully, are soft and comfy and (so far) have not gone baggy. The trouble is, they are not denim coloured, I bought white and then dark blue, but I think they are selling out on line.
Like you I have pairs of jeans in every size and shape , never 8, but GAP 10 through to 16 all,pending a rediscovery of the inner me under my bum and tum.

I have jeans in various shapes, slimfit, skinny straight leg. etc. The skinny versions (makes that I've tried so far, anyway: Tu, M&S, George, F&F) try to dislodge my kneecaps if I want to bend my legs; or else they gradually work their way down to feeling insecure so I have to keep hoisting them up. The pair I wear most are black, George and slightly stretchy. They fit best after a wash but never threaten the kneecaps or start to come down.

You're up late [*Phoenix*] or early [*MB*]! Is it the weather?

Oops, wrong sort of brackets....

You can get jeans fitting service in London, I think it might be in Selfridges, but I suspect the jeans will be super expensive. I always like Uniqglo high waisted straight jeans the best good fitting and no slippage.

Yes you can get fitted in Selfridges

And Levis store in Regent Street

Maybe an idea for a birthday present....

Just looked at your link suzied ....the most expensive pair £11,000 lol...i bet no one can try on that pair ?

They claim to start from £11 though!

Just to wake you up this morning

?!!! Where can I get one of those??

I'll have the one on the right. Is he wearing "falsies"??

Oh!
That woke me up! ???

I agree about the Per Una jeans and several colours including a white pair that I haven't dared wear yet! I was fitted for Jeans in GAP but our local one has disappeared - has GAP gone everywhere?

Colchester Gap gone, I loved their jeans

I have a pair of size 14 jeans in the wardrobe, Per Una, worn once but [sob] I can't do them up - at the moment.


I have to wear a belt with jeans, whatever make, because what fits my waist won't do up over my tum and what zips up is too big in the waist and they walk down (embarrassingly)

The best and most comfortable jeans I have ever bought I got from QVC . I don't do a lot of telly shopping because I like to try things on before I buy, but I couldn't resist these. "My Wonder Denim" in size 14. They fit perfectly, and wash well. They have kept their length and shape. They are my favourite leg wear.

The last couple of pairs I bought were from Tesco (F&F), cheap and cheerful and fit me well. I usually have problems with the waistband gaping at the back but not with these. I got a pair of cropped and some slim leg. Bought online using my club card vouchers.

I agree Phoenix ( and I was where you mention in your post this week )
Mine were bought in another M&S however, but have gone exactly the same way,
They drop and need hitching up all the time.I have bought a leather belt, and this seems to help a lot.So does constant washing.

Thank you all for the replies, appreciated as always, although I think a trip from Devon to London for a pair of jeans may be a tad excessive!

roses you were in Atlantic Village, where do you live?

I was on my hols! Staying locally with friends ( we used to live there) so a treat to revisit all the places we used to go, Appledore, Bideford, Torrington, and Hartland Quay.So much now at Atlantic Village! Much more than when we lived locally.
I even popped into Morrisons.

Why didn't you say! We could have met up, had a coffee, so that you could tell people I'm actually real!

Of course, it may have been that you would rather not meet, and I could remain a figment of your imagination, or the stuff nightmares are made of..............

Normally they would be too expensive for me, at £60 a pair, but I had some money off and a discount code for Landsend jeans and, oh my, they're lovely!

They don't have much choice at the moment but they're called Xtralife and they come in various styles (the straight leg ones are nice and neat) and colours. They also come in various leg lengths.

For those who find jeans slipping... put a belt on. Most of my jeans and shorts need to be belted. I think it looks a more 'finished' style too.

I like Hobbs jeans. They're not as cheap as some but I find they they fit well. I've also had some success with Asda jeans - I do find that the styles vary and some aren't nice at all. I bought some cropped denim ones last year which fit really well and the denim is a nice weight and colour.

M&S do a nice leather belt which is found near the jeans instore.
