Cinnamon Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Ok, Omlet wisdom needed! I want to buy some leggings for the daughter (not me,before you all run for the hills!), but most I have found are thin,go baggy quickly & don't wash very well. I don't especially want to pay more than £12 or so,but want a really good pair,that won't show her knickers through the fabric or go all loose at the knees. She is a ladies size 8-10.,with long legs. Any recommendations? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

majuka Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 I have some from Next - £8 I think they have been worn and washed a number of times and haven't done the baggy saggy thing yet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alis girls Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 I got some for myself (stampede as everyone runs out) from Tesco - I think they were the same price as Next ones - seem ok - and I wear under summer dresses which come just above the knee - just before you all vomit. Dont want to show my elderly legs to all and sundry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alis girls Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 These will be 3/4 length if shes tall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted September 16, 2011 Author Share Posted September 16, 2011 Taking a look around town today,so thanks for the recommendations. They do have to be full length on her long legs,so will start at M&S I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlottechicken Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 I have been asking the same question and been told that H&M and New Look are the best. I was told off by a fashionista colleague (with a teen daughter) for buying Primark ones, when I asked if she knew of leggings which didn't show ones undergarments or go baggy! Just to add, as I've got some of those high street vouchers, I was able to pick up a pair of black cropped leggings from a Wallis concession in BHS the other day. They seem much better quality than Primark (obviously!) but were priced at £12, although I bought them with a voucher and a sale discount!

Cinnamon Posted September 16, 2011 Author Share Posted September 16, 2011 Thats odd about the Primark ones. I did a Google yesterday & their leggings which are marketed as a support garment & sold by the knickers came out top! Maybe they are a bit more robust than their usual thin day ones that I have bought before? For £4,I am willing to give them a go,anyhow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlottechicken Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 The Primark ones I bought bagged really quickly hence my colleague telling me off. They are pretty see through too, when you bend, even though I bought a generous size 12, and risked them being too loose at the waist. Good job I only wanted to wear them in the garden! I can't imagine them being any kind of support garment, must be some other type they sell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 I've had some from Next - brilliant. Washed loads & still don't bag. I've also had some from George at Asda, quite good as thicker than the Next ones, but tend to wrinkle a bit round the ankles as I have short legs. Very good ones were from M&Co,Matalan & Dorothy Perkins. My Primark ones didn't pull up too well & Peacock ones were a bit thin. Will be watching this thread as I also need some new ones.

Emma.x I had the same issue with the asda ones, only I don't have short legs, I had skinny ankles. They fit fine straight out of the wash/dryer, but after a couple of hours they go all baggy round the ankles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
