Size Guide

These trousers are high waisted - going approx 1 inch above natural waist. Trousers can be harder to fit people due to there being extra measurements to consider such as body length as well as waist, hip and thigh. However, this style has proved very popular and seems to fit people well.

The leg width isnt as wide as our 30s styles (fabric wasnt as readily available in the 40s!) but measures 56cms at the widest leg width part on our size 10.

So - we advise to choose by waist size but also to consider hip and your thigh measurement. This is not a great style for pear shapes but great for pillar, inverted triangles.

These trousers are made with fabric that has a touch of stretch in it. This means that there is some margin if your measurements don't come up exactly like our table below.
