    I would be a size 6-8 on the waist but a size 10 on the hips and chest and am wondering what jeans might suit? I wear regular lenght jeans even though I am only 5ft 1in as I have relatively long legs.

    Thanks

    Miss sixty are great for hourglass figure- they're normally very long but most places will take them up for you. They have lots of styles so keep trying.

    Am a big fan of the M&S Eva slimboot jeans. My hips are 11" bigger than my waist and these come in just nicely at the waist for me. Regular is fine on me (30.5" inseam, relatively stumpy for my height).

    I have a pair of Zara skinny jeans, I'm a 27/28 inch waist, and 34 leg, hips are about 36 I'd guess, and can never get jeans with a waist that fits, but these are stretch and work well for me.

    I usually get jeans taken in at the waist tbh to accomodate my hips, can't stand that lapse at the waist.


    My Zara skinnies are the one pair of jeans I have that fit all over, that I've not had to have taken in by a dressmaker, they are size eight.

    I would be a 26in waist but a 36 inch hips and take regular lenght jeans - I can take a size 6 but they are tight on my hips :(

    The Dark blue Eva boot cut jeans are down to €15 on the M&S website with 10% off codes (SALE10 and MNSIE(New account only - use new email addy!) they work out at €12.15 which is great value considering they are normally €35. The Eva skinnies are €17.50 before disounts. Went for the Marilyn jeans myself
