I read your recommendation, followed your link and this afternoon received my magic trousers.
I initially thought that they wouldn’t fit me but they do - it’s magic ! I love them they are exactly what I was looking for.
Thank you ?

Sago and I should be on commission.

PS, I actually own the Magic Pants company! ??
Only joking!

Apologies to all who were kind enough to let me know the leg length. Life intervened but I have now managed to get back online and have ordered a pair in sedate navy. So thank you all.
Are we going to end up with a Gransnet uniform do you think?

Can people please post pictures of these magic pants? I’m keen to see what they look like on different sizes. I’m thinking of buying a pair too…

Would they fit me with my swollen legs? They sound ideal.

Sago

*Sago here* I’m so glad the magic trouser thread has resulted in so many purchases!
I can assure you all they are not baggy this is the “magic” bit.
Nor do the pockets or drawstring waist create any bulk.

Your going to tell us next you've got shares in the company aren't you Sago. You could run on line advice for women of a certain size.
Thank you just about to buy mine.flowers

Aldom thank you! I think I’m going to have to purchase a pair and see what the fuss is about!

Auntieflo, across widest part of the thigh was 10½ in. Stretched it was 13 in, so a maximum circumference of 26 in.
The leg is tapered. 6 in at the ankle and 7½ in stretched, so a maximum circumference of 15 in.

Another ‘thank you’ from me Marydoll! Mine arrived yesterday ?

I’m of diminutive stature (aka short a**e!) and slim and they are a very comfy fit, not at all clingy.

Ladyleftfieldlover Fri 06-May-22 20:41:40

I’m beginning to think I should get some too but first I need to measure my inside leg! I’m only 5feet 2inches.

Marydoll Fri 06-May-22 21:10:27

They should fit. I am 5ft and fold the hem twice.

These look great and I’m very tempted. Just one question for those who have bought them - do they sit on the waist or just below? I do prefer trousers to sit on the waist, much more comfortable.

Squiffy Sat 07-May-22 15:28:24

Spottybook I’m just over 5’ and they come up to my waist quite comfortably.

I think David Bowie was wearing a pair of Magic Pants for the Magic Dance scene in ‘Labyrinth’ grin

I just popped into this thread to thank Marydoll for being such a helpful and supportive person flowers

May I add my thanks to all the others? I ordered two pairs and as previously said they didn't look very good when taken out of the packet. After washing I am delighted with them. I am now only 4' 11" (as recorded on my recent birthday check) and they are fine on me when turned up, looking trendy.

spottybook Sat 07-May-22 17:08:05

Thank you Squiffy. I’m 5’2” so they should be fine.

shysal Sat 07-May-22 17:10:42

Mine haven't arrived yet. I hope they won't need ironing after every wash, it is not something I do these days.

My magic pants were delivered today. I chose the larger size as I am a 16 with chunky calves. They are fine, but a little baggy with loads of spare stretch, so I shall keep them but have ordered two more different coloured pairs in the regular size. The waist is in the right place and they can be worn rolled up or down with no bulk.
I always struggle to find well fitting trousers so many thanks Sago and Marydoll

spottybook Wed 11-May-22 12:59:25

A big thank you from me too. I’m a size 16 and ordered the smaller size and there is still a lot of stretch in them. I am wearing them now and they are so comfortable that I don’t ever want to take them off smile
