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 ?

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

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

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

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

Mazgg Sat 07-May-22 16:13:02

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.

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

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

spottybook Sat 07-May-22 11:17:52

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.

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

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.

Squiffy Fri 06-May-22 20:23:51

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.

Auntieflo

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

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.

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

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…

Here is a photo from the Ruby and Daisy website

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

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?

Marydoll Fri 06-May-22 00:29:00

Sago and I should be on commission.

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

Allegretto Fri 06-May-22 00:20:14

I have also ordered the magic pants, after having read this thread. I’m looking forward to trying them.

Marydoll Thu 05-May-22 23:23:46

I am sorely tempted, but I must restrain myself......until.......I eventually give im. wink

mamma, note, they don't look great when they come out of the bag, but once ironed, they look fine.

mamaa Thu 05-May-22 23:19:31

Being at a loose end this morning, having read about the wonders of magic pants on this thread, I feel I need to announce that two pairs shall be arriving here on Saturday. ??they fit ok

Marydoll Thu 05-May-22 22:56:21

I was on YouTube tonight, when a dance video popped up.
The young, female dancer was wearing Magic Pants!

Marydoll Thu 05-May-22 20:24:02

Espee I measured the ones I am wearing, they are 28in long. I am 5ft, so have to turn them up. No hemming required.

Jaxjacky Thu 05-May-22 15:00:46

The long are 31.4 inches inside leg Espee too short for me, I need 33/34
