I haven't seen it tbh but haven't been looking. I'm 5'8 so a total fail when it comes to shopping in Asia. It does seem that people who are shorter but not necessarily slimmer than me are often a smaller size. Similarly people who aren't much lighter but seem to be a size 8. 
Bloody hips! (Which of course Asian people don't have much of - my friend who's from Singapore is straight up and down and looks fantastic in jeans as a result.)

(I'm really, really sorry if anyone owns and loves this skirt, I'm sure it's my own failing that makes me find it so funny)

The beauty of the ride
Sigh. I have to buy jeans, and I hate shop sizing - firstly because everything seems to be teeny-tiny, and then either the waist/arse ratio is wrong, or the legs are ridiculously long.
Does anyone have any good recommendations for curvy jeans?

They had some in Boots when I went today - a fiver... it wasn't great but I'd def give a decent one a go if I could get a good match for my hair colour..

I also hate shopping for jeans and last time it took me 18 months to find some. I finally got some at m&s. The per una range. Stretchy but don't go baggy and a good fit.
This was probably about 2 years ago now but they would be my first stop next time I have the chore. I'm a 16 by the way but I think they do up to 20 and 3 different lengths.

The third one in particular looks tons better in real life and fits like a dream, really nice fabric and hangs well (iykwim)...all three for £50, reduced at Peacocks online
vaguely 40's shape dresses are very flattering to a more portly, big busted woman such as myself

how did you find the sizing with them? 
last time i tried on pearl lowe stuff it was all over the place.

Tbh honest i was expecting them to be a bit too small but the third one (with crochet collar) is a generous size 18 and just looked marvellous (wasn't going to choose it but took a chance and very pleasantly suprised).......i would say they are about right size wise, if a little generous (iykwim)

my treats for losing stone two and three:
(my one is ultra-dark brown, and it comes with a replacement golden shoulder chain).
and this:
which is even nicer in the flesh, and comes on a really long chain.

well done on the stone loss!
The necklace looks a tiny bit like a christmas pudding which makes it excellent jewellery in my book

just looked... lovely! Is it closed/sewn wrap or actually a wrap (that can flap open iykwim)... dunno why I'm asking, i've just spent the day clearing out old clothes and really can't buy more..
Jeans! Which fit! All over! Woot!
<deep breath>It's okay, I'm not having a manic episode. Jeans which fit are more or less impossible to find in my size and shape. So I've got one pair to be worn in a couple of weeks' time, and one pair a size smaller (can almost get the zip done up) as a bit of an incentive.
