Thank you ixion I see a new Argy uniform in the making……as long as Alarma doesn’t get wind of it and wants some too ?

I think I saw on the Magic trousers website that the leg length is 29" Espee

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.

Marydoll Thu 05-May-22 09:05:42

Espee, no problem! I'm off out, I promise to do it when I return.
You have met me Espee and I bought the 16-18 size. I am a 16 and they are perfect.
I also have a size14-16 pair from somewhere else. They fir too!

I’ve just had a look.

I find that cropped trousers make me look overweight (well that’s not exactly true, I am overweight it just makes it more obvious). Some of the pics do show them ankle length but no mention of leg length.
If it’s not too much trouble Marydoll could you check the inside leg measurement for me please? I would of course be buying the large size.?

They fit brilliantly, I've just bought 3 more pairs, white, mocha and camel. Today I'm wearing navy with a white top and white trainers. Rock choir won't know what has hit them! smile

Oh, and I’ll use this thread as an excuse to say Thank you Marydoll too.thanks
Nothing to do with trousers though!

FannyCornforth Thu 05-May-22 08:45:54

I do like everything to be baggy on me as well

FannyCornforth Thu 05-May-22 08:45:15

They do look really nice and comfy Mary, but I am (ahem) quite large at present.
It doesn’t bother me in the slightest though, I quite like it.
But I don’t think that a pair of trousers that look good on a size 16 lady would look good on me

I’m glad Mary ‘s magic trousers are what you hoped OP .
What I would like are magic legs - flexible, long, slim …….. ?

Too right Tilly!
In my case, a fully operational pair would be marvellous!
They do look quite nice (the trousers - not my legs) but I don’t trust anything that is ‘one size fits all’ or ‘most’

Neither did I Fanny, but they do fit and are not baggy. That is why they are Magic
They are also very comfortable.

The trousers don't look much, when they come out of the packaging, but once they are ironed, they look good. If you don't iron, stick them in the tumbler dryer for five minutes and smooth with your hand. grin

I am now pondering about what my next colour will be. wink

Magic trousers……I want some…what are they please?

No more clothes shopping….clothes combining! (62 Posts)

I am starting to shed some weight and have made the decision to try not buy any new clothes for a year, with the exception of a wedding in September.

So as of today I am combining clothes I have never put together before, todays ensemble is a £12 shirt from Penny’s with my “ magic pants” £24, they go from a 12-16 are amazingly comfortable and don’t need ironing.
The shirt was for the charity shop but I’m hanging on to it now.
I think I will see my wardrobe in a new light^

This was the thread, doodle.
Lots of recommendations, suggestions, where-to-buys etc.

Maybe The Argy Management could buy us some as a corporate look for the punters.
Not that The Admiral would approve...

Interesting, what was the link?

gallusquine Wed 04-May-22 20:35:31

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 ?
