I desperately need to get some new breeches (rather than jods) for everyday wear. I am size 14 hourglass so smallish waist and big bum/thighs! Any recommendations on brands? I usually go cheapy/2nd hand but would rather get something that fits and is flattering and doesn't give you awful VPL?! :eek:
 
ive just had to buy some new ones for winter as my butt has grown again-very curvy and small waist so same as you -ive had a pair of bridleway ones which are lovely and thick and were under £30 -a pair of toggi ones which were under £25 -i also like the tesco ones they are quite thick and last ages and sized like clothes (12,14 etc) and they are under £20:D
 
I'm a size 12-14 and hourglass shaped, I swear by Derby House breeches and havent ridden in anything else for years now! www.derbyhouse.co.uk. They are good value (if you can wait until there is a sale on you can get some bargains - I got 2 pairs a month or two ago which were down from £45.99 to £12.99 each!) and good quality, even the paler colours dont go see-through when worn. I go with their size 32 and that seems to fit well on me.

They also sell a lot of other brands so there is more than just their own brand stuff to choose from.
 
Just spotted a voucher code too for Derby House (naughty me looking for horses on horsemart when I should be working!) - HMINTRO5 gets you £5 off your order!
 
Lovely, thanks guys that gives me something to go on - might try a pair of Derby House (cheers for the code!) and a pair of the Mark Todds. Our local Tesco doesn't do horse gear unfortunately!

Re. the Mark Todd ones, what waist size would a UK 14 be then? 32"? Sizing for breeches/jods seems to be quite different to jeans so not quite sure where they are measuring as if I go by my jeans size it makes me a size 18 on some website conversion charts?!! I know I've put on weight but not quite that much unless I'm in massive denial!

another vote for mark todders :) i would say 30" or 32", i've got 2 pairs- one of each. theres not much in it so i'd just go on whether you reckon you're a big 14 or a small 14... if you get my jist :)
