lol, thanks.

I don't mind about having a large backside, my bloke is a fan anyway.

Maria: I think you can't go wrong with some black bootcut trousers. Or a nice skirt. I like the ladylike look. A safari trouser suit would be my smart outfit of choice, but I don't think they're fashionable anymore.

"You get sprung"????????

I know I am a few days late here, but I have just seen this and am compelled to reply.
Ann is 100 % on, with the pockets on jeans = smaller bum. Small low pockets are best for dimishing the botbot. Bootcut are best for shorter people & hiding sadle bags, as they lengthen the leg.
This season if you can afford it go for a nice indigo straight cut from 7forallmankind or a boyfit ( for girls) from Replay. Best highstreet alternatives are new look, or nouveux regardez as I like to call it.
