    I'd have to disagree with you there eth0_, the missus is a 12 and looks fantastic.

    I think if you're over a size 8-10 don't even bother.

    Depends on your shape though. I'm a size 8 and I don't think I could pull them off.

    Yeah I guess you're right, some size 12's have slim legs but big hips..I suppose if you have slim legs and wore them with a long tunic or shirt it would look fine.

    But they are totally unforgiving those liquid leggings!

    All valid points. It basically boils down to the fact that sizes are ambiguous, you can be a very slim and toned size 14 or a chubby size 10, all dependent on height really. For example, at my ideal weight and size I'm a 6, at the moment I'm working hard to get back down there, but even at my "biggest" I only take a size 10 max. Simply because I'm 5 foot and very petite underneath it all. Doesn't mean I look good at the moment at all though!! :(

    So as for the liquid leggings.....I'm kind of on the fence about them at the moment. Not sure if they look amazing or dreadfully tacky. Definitely for the gazelle-limbed, though.

    Well a few posts here said the A-wear ones were short, so they might suit you a bit better?? I didn't find the vero moda ones very long either, but I'm a 34'' inside leg:rolleyes:

    Go have a look at the A wear ones, I'm sure you could even take them up easily enough, they're all very narrow at the ankle anyway!!

    Got a pair in Jane Norman in Dundrum today, nice length, shiny, pretty thick (so won't end up sagging hopefully) and best of all, they were having a 20% off promotion, so they only cost 16 euro! Just need somewhere to wear them now:)

    Got a pair for fifteen euro today in Bershka.

    Am a size twelve with large enough thighs, so thought I'd never get away with them, but I tried them on and loved them. Give them a go if you like them!

    I don't think you're going to get too many of the ladies posting pictures of themselves, hence google.

    Have to say, you really have to have the calves to pull them off... Saw a girl at off the rails wearing a pair... She was at least a size 14, short and with VERY large legs. Liquid leggings just aren't made for that type of figure. I'm a 6-8 but my legs lack tone and are a bit flabby so even I wouldn't go near them! :o They're really only good if your legs are naturally slim and nicely shaped - even in bigger sizes once the proportions remain the same but they certainly aren't made for the typical dumpy irish stature!

    Got a pair in Awear at the weekend. Perfect length for me as I'm only five ft four. I normally take a size 6-8 but got the 10 as they are still tight fitted. I don't care if I'm too small for them, I don't run and Yoga my ass off 4 times a week to hide my pins.

    Seeing more and more out there.

    Be careful what you wear them with, it's very easy to look skanky/hookerish, rather than just hot.

    As evidenced by the two girls going into Q-Bar last night!

    I'd say if you got a boner in them it'd be fairly uncomfortable.

    Ok, so I'm a 10-12 and pear shaped and I decided to try these on for a laugh. They look absolutely awful if you have a figure like mine and I can only imagine they look worse again on a bigger girl. If your legs are in any way big, they highlight this. Curvy girls beware!
