OK kids, I measured the inside waist band, and it's 31 inches around. The size label says "12" not "14". This does drive home that sizing has changed over time. My guess that they'd fit like a current size 10 (or 8) is correct.
Also, they're made in the style of men's slacks - there's a seam up the back waist band, so if needed the waist could be easily (for some) be let out or taken in.
WHO wants to give them a home? Will ship after Christmas (probably)

The waist works for me. Do you have a hip measurement? I'm pear shaped so I'd need around a 42".

Sorry Dar, seems we're built about the same. I can get them on, but not zipped, and I have 42 inch hips. (How did that happen? I HATE my slowing down metabolism!)

I have 42" hips too. The knickers are too small for me as well!

Zen's the WINNER!
Looks like you win the prize Zen! PM me with your mailing/shipping info.
If they don't fit, you're next to try to find them a home. At least my knickers will get to play in the snow.Beth
