Bum flattering advise!

[Harlequin32]

I am a fairly small person but find jodphurs the most hideous unflattering awful things ever invented!, My bum is a bit big in proportion to my body so i think i look terrible in them.

However if i go anywhere i will need some creamy colour jods. I have looked and a pair can be got on Ebay for less than £15 (think they were saxon warm ups)
Question is will be mahoosive arse look better in expensive jods? Will decent fabric show up less bumps? I dont want to feel any more self conscious than absolutely necessary

i am a big fat middle aged bird & look pants in any form of cream jods - really not convinced that price makes any difference

 

[Harlequin32]

bloody hell cheers for that then!!

Won't your jackets cover your bum anyway if you're at shows?!

Get a big saddle so your bum looks small?

Or a long jacket and refuse to get off your horse?!:

Great thread title!

The better the fabric the more it will smooth lumps!

Alternatively, get some magic undies

None of you are actually helping all that much!
Shall i just buy cheapies then do we think?

Ah great idea, and it was the cut and fabric i wondered about- thanks

I do think thicker, better quality fabric might help. Ideally, I think you should go try-on rather than an ebay purchase???

But, as others have said stick to long jackets and tops....

 

[palmerlover52]

Thicker ones......if you can get any with vertical ribbing (I had a beautiful pair by Caldene but it was a while ago!) I suspect that would be flattering

Apparently the Gok Wan hold me in jobbies are pretty industrial

 

[Harlequin32]

mmm attractive too i have no doubt!

Big pants here i come!

 

[Mr Ed]

PL52, agree not well worded on my part, I think I should say better quality, sturdier fabric, as opposed to thin, polyester type???? Not a fabric guru, but I know what feels nice

 

[palmerlover52]

I have some winter warmer ones (just requiste brand) that are so thick, I imagine they'd hold the most rebellious of wibblywobblies in!

I can't help on this for one cuz I'm a guy and I only 5'4 with a small(yet cute)butt lol

I might invent the "bum scarf" for occasions just like this... hang on...

Can you not wear them slimming knicker things underneath. I only wear jodphurs (as i look a bugger in them) with a large man size t shirt.
Sorry that probably doesn't help

 

[~*Saree*~]

I'd go into a shop that sells them, try them on, see if your arse looks good then if so, go bid on eBay and buy them cheap


I don't think how much jods cost would make a difference to bum flattery!

Hi - I wear black / blue - always have needed to go up 2 sizes on normal clothes and if you can find a pair of jean joddies for every day wear then even better - long jumpers - t shirts etc- x

I think OP wants them for showing/dressage/jumping or whatever so the trusty black faithfuls would be no good unfortunately
