George @ Asda Haul & Try On - Over 50 Plus Size Fashion

[@lauralee6817]

I have always hated flared jeans. I remember distinctly in the late 70s trying to sew my jeans so they were more narrow around the bottom of my legs. I was only 11 or 12 years old… Loved the 80s when things got more narrow. And, even though they are in fashion, I think we should all just wear what makes us feel good. That’s what I do. Thanks for another fun video.

[@starperry1784]

Oh yh I was there in the 80s going up TOP RANK & THE MECA PIER WE NEVER STOPPED DANCING THE MUSIC WAS GREAT WE DRESSED GREAT I OFTON THINK BACK XXX

[@brendacarrodus7767]

Carolyn those grey jeans looked great on you with the blue top

[@susanhall3438]

Hi Caroline, I couldn't comment on your Shein vlog as comments were turned off, so I am replying here. I bought the long skirt in a black and I love it. I've washed it, as I always wash before I wear as there were some creases. It's washed lovely, I washed it on a 15 minute cycle at 20 degrees and a 1200 spin. It has washed lovely. I took it out of the washer immediately, gave it a shake and hung on a hanger to dry. I've also purchased the shacket from this vlog, I got the last size 18, woo hoo. So pleased with them all. Take care, have a lovely weekend xxx

[@valerieloney5346]

I can’t do flared either. Straight leg not too bad. Love your channel Caroline x

[@pamelaatkinsonscats2873]

I loved that red and pink striped t-shirt. The sleeves looked slightly different on the inset picture. Love that colour combination. The first dress was also very nice and I liked the final outfit. It’d be great if your mum could alter the trousers for you. Otherwise there’s that iron-on tape which is pretty good.

[@amandabegg4930]

The black trousers and beige top look really lovely on you, but the cost of having the trousers altered would probably make it not worth it.

[@veronicwbrennan4002]

I am a jeans/ trouser wearer and don't own a skirt or dress. I like narroe, straight and wide but never wear flared. I must have worn them in the 70's but think that's where they should have stayed. As always, thanks Caroline. I do enjoy your videos..

[@jillmullaly7730]

Caroline, I love your videos. You are so fun . I really liked the red and pink top on you. The colors were great for you. I think the top fit perfectly. I liked both pairs of flairs too. The shacket is a wonderful piece but I think you need a smaller size. You are a very pretty woman with a nice sense of personal style. Thank you for doing all the trying on ..I love a fashion show!

[@gilscot100]

5ft UK size 20 pear shaped here. Having heavy thighs I am so happy to see skinny go and wide leg come in 🤣🤣. I always iron/steam flares/wide legs the same way as men’s trousers instead of the way the stores hang/pack them before I make a decision. This forces the wide bottom out over the shoe instead of sticking out over the ankles. I have been taking trousers up since my early teens always using WonderUnder hem tape. Only twice have I had a hem start to come down. Hard to keep side splits (as in the navy striped trousers) as usually the factory process uses overcast bound seams with no excess fabric above the slit.

[@essanjay8604]

Loved my flares in the 70's - the longer the better - worn over my chunky hippy style clogs with my cheesecloth smock tops. Those were the days. Prefer a straight leg shape these days - much more forgiving!

[@debbiehart7513]

Caroline I always have this problem with flares being a size 20 and only 5ft 2” however there is a holy grail combo !!! M&S cotton wide leg pants with a tee shirt and over shirt always looks smart and feels comfortable You can easily dress the combo up for evening wear with heeled shoes jewellery and accessories I personally love black pants a black over shirt and a white tee shirt for evening Give it a go you’ll love it 🥰 Ps your hair and make up looked really good in this video ❤

[@lizfudger5463]

I think the gray jeans look great on you !!

[@Lmrsm]

Loved the flaired jeans on you and the last outfit was great xx

[@BernieBoops]

Love your try on videos! I think you looked good in everything, the first dress especially as hoping for warmer weather and chucking on one,It’s nice to hear your cheery laugh too, I’m on the look out for trousers too, just bought some slim flare jeggings in m&s and can recommend x

[@opus0070]

Hi Caroline, loved the first dress and the flared jeans, and the black trousers. I'm the same proportion as you 5'3" with a long body and short legs and I find the only way to wear flares is to wear them long with platforms underneath to they elongated my legs, never cropped! ❤

[@lajuanprice8469]

I like the black pair of flare pants, the gray flare jeans I think are too short to look good on anyone lol. You seem to be in a happy mood, and I just love to hear you laugh, you're a beautiful lady. Hope you and your family is doing good. God Bless

[@muriel240]

Morning Caroline. I agree the first dress is a little big. I personally don't like flared jeans but they do look nice on you. Think the trousers would work if they were shorter. Thought the green dress was a bit clingy and love the shacket. Think you could downsize on it. All great value xx

[@lorrainewren7167]

Liked the first dress and the navy trs with t shirt and jkt looked really good ❤

[@goneyslash]

Thanks for doing the try on the asda clothes. The only thing I liked was the jacket. It has made me going to go and look for it . Thanks again

[@FiReadsBooks]

Love the shacket and first tunic dress - and a wrap dress is always flattering. A kick flare jean would look good on you Caroline - try to find a stretchy pair x

[@daftun62]

Hi Caroline I also liked the jeans on you maybe it was the colour? I also really liked the shacket but I do think you could size down . I think it looked great on you just a little big I think sometimes when we lose some weight we still buy clothes the same size and need to get used to smaller. Love your hauls I always watch them 🙂

[@Veeodee]

Really like the shacket and black trousers outfit - smart but casual 😊

[@GillianKempster-u5d]

Hi Carolyn, first dress looked nice. Personally I liked the grey jeans on you, very modern. The navy trousers you should get taken up as a lovely classic piece and can be dressed up or down. Cord shirt looked fab. X

[@jaybeaton472]

Those grey flares looked lovely on you. x

[@kathrynlangton9289]

Hi Caroline thank you for the haul Asda George was my go to all through Covid. My favourites were the dresses I think. Not sure about the jeans I’m mid fifties and 5ft 10 and can’t find a pair to flatter me either 😂 the search continues. Take care 💗

[@patgannon9092]

Hi Caroline Loved the try on this morning the flaired jeans i think wld be nicer if they were boot cut i still like the skinny jeans more flattering i think . The last trousers i wld keep ur mam will shorten them for you or you cld use wonder webb on them the shacket was fabulous on you . Thank you for sharing this one Caroline. ❤

[@alanabailey6705]

Hi Caroline thank you for sharing your video the navy and white trousers are so nice have a pair in my wardrobe but you have given me some good advice on how to wear them I like all the outfits on your ❤

[@PamB677]

Very nice 👌 little haul Caroline I’m going take a trip to Asda xx

[@louisemason2006]

Hi Caroline, i love the smocked dress, i also loved the shacket and the trousers. I havn't worn trousers other than jeans or jeggings for years but i think i'm going to order some, plus the smocked dress and shacket. I don't like jeans other than narrow ones, i think they make me look fatter than i am, i am plus size anyway. A great vlog, thank you 🙂

[@the_grey_lady]

Don't think there was anything wrong with the style of the jeans Caroline, more the colour. I don't like my tummy either and tend to find the lighter the colour of the jeans the more it seems to emphasize the tummy area. The navy "joggers" at the end looked much better on you x

[@Suzannewatterson]

I struggle the same as you with jeans I’m sticking to skinny leg or leggings as I can’t find any jeans to suit me at all Having a large tummy but slimmer legs just leaves me with bagginess at top of my legs and I’m only 5ft 3 too so length is always an issue I like the shacket/shirt the most x

[@maxallen-macdonald8791]

I like the grey jeans and I think, once washed, the flare will relax and look less noticeable. They do hide the swelling in your knee! Love the pinstripe trousers and yes get someone to hem them. Interesting haul but not the best one you've ever had.

[@ginastannard9614]

Hi Caroline , great video , I liked the things you did and didn’t like the things that you didn’t so I think you were spot on with your views , especially the flared jeans , I’ve tried so hard to bring myself forwards with them (I’m 64) loved them in the seventies , but now I just feel silly . You looked better than me lol ❤

[@Heather-JM]

Loved the first dress the most!n randomly i have a top from George at Asda in the exact same material but it’s from a charity shop so not sure when it was in the shop 😊

[@lornas_corner]

Wonder Web for the trousers!! The first dress was too big and the green dress was a bit neat, so difficult sizing as is ever the case!! The last look was great. I do like George clothes and this was a great haul - thanks

[@karinsky9337]

Think jeans look great...I'm liking navy trousers outfit, I might go for these today 😊

[@lornaselwood8681]

Thank you Caroline. I like the flared jeans on you 👍 next size up worth a try ? You always look lovely 🌹 xx

[@Michele-sn6et]

I really liked the striped t shirt enjoyed your vlog have you ever thought of trying the online brand Tillets. I buy ftom them frequently and like their range of clothes. Their sizing is fairly free snd they do clothes considered to be cruise wear x

[@CarolineMrsM]

I'll check them out, thank you for the recommendation :)

[@shileenmckernanpidgeon7682]

I loved the wide leg jeans on you Caroline. x

[@starperry1784]

Great video as always xxx

[@jeanthornerry3912]

I'm 55 and heavy flare Jean's don't suit but try boot leg jeans . Looked so much better , better fit . ❤

[@angieb7572]

Caroline , try the river island flares! They’re fabulous. Lift and shape but stretch and comfy. £45 but worth it . I am 5ft9 but sure they do a petite x

[@CarolineMrsM]

Oh thank you, I'll definitely give them a try.x

[@BChecker56]

Love your earrings. Think you do too. Really classy❤

[@darrenwilson7217]

Perhaps you would prefer slim fit flared jeans. They fit similar to straight leg jeans but flare out at the bottom. I don't like jeans that don't fit under the bottom so I always go for the slim fit flares. I buy mine in Marks and Spencer from the Per Uno range. The shorter dress was my favourite but I agree a smaller size would be more flattering. Glad to see you more like your self. When I lost my mum I had good days and bad and something out of the blue would trigger me to get emotional. I knew it was natural and just went with it. Look after yourself. Wendy

[@magsohara7908]

Just ordered the trousers but the shaket was sold out but……. They had it in a forest green. My sort of colour. I’m lucky because I do a bit of sewing and I can do minor alterations. I’m 5’ 10” so hopefully they’re not too short on me 😂😂😂. Thanks Caroline 🙋🏼🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@juliajones2283]

I love spring brighter colours. I recently ordered a new swim dress from yours so ordered couple other things at same time as you do. Got a nice pair of trousers which I like but far far too long for me - I’m thinking do I pay to have shortened or try myself to just not have them - I’m 5ft 4 and it’s so frustrating with trouser lengths! 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

[@jopickett9679]

I've always liked George from Asda clothes. He 'George Davies' started Next all those years ago and had some influence with per una I think?..maybe wrong. The problem with buying now, is that the previous user friendly click and collect system and especially returns has become over complicated

[@sharonlewin6860]

Really liked the trousers (aside from the length). Might it be the drape on those that you like, rather than the 'structure' of the jeans?

[@CarolineMrsM]

Yes, I think you've hit the nail on the head there!

[@valspannbauer3334]

Good morning Caroline! I thought the smock dress was very cute, & as you already mentioned, it would be more flattering in a smaller size. I'm 65, I love wearing flare leg jeans, but those gray jeans were not flare leg. They were wide leg...flare leg jeans are narrower up top on your thighs and gradually flare out towards your ankle. Those jeans were way too wide starting at the top, and wouldn't look good on anyone, I don't think. Another really good video that I enjoyed, was nice to see you laugh. Have a lovely rest of your week, cheers from America 💕

[@denisecarter5117]

The pink and red shirt does not have the same sleeve does it? The cuff in the photo goes the opposite direction. The black pants look great if you could get them hemmed. Love the jacket also.

[@chrisroylance3109]

I prefer straight leg jeans

[@MargaretEverson-fg2zj]

Has Ashley seen you in those grey jeans? I think they are so flattering on you!!

[@gwynethowen1511]

Hi Caroline. Thank you for a great try on haul. You are spot on. The first dress is too big for you. A size down would be great. The jeans definitely look better with the blue top. Not a fan of the red stripey T-shirt. I love blue. Your asides during the video made me giggle. I am the same as you with trouser lengths. I am a matronly 5ft 2 and find getting trousers that a short enough a real pain. M&S are usually good at different lengths. Loved you in that green dress although it did look nicer in the thumbnail photo at the start of the video. Keep the try ons coming Caroline. Sending your mum love. x

[@annsmith1922]

Could you do a Roman try on please. I do find there clothes are a good buy👍🥰

[@CarolineMrsM]

Yes, definitely will do Roman again soon, just waiting for some more spring pieces to be available :)

[@annsmith1922]

Thank you🙏🏻🥰

[@patgoodchild8045]

It’s very easy to take up a hem…..have had to do it countless times due to being 5’ There are plenty of KZbin channels to show you how!!

[@jackRansome-p7r]

nice colours loved the last jacket top but i think you are smaller than you think x

[@bridiellewellyn8469]

The flared jeans looked good on you, I think we are so used to wearing our skinnies that it takes time. So excited to see the shackety shirt thing as have been looking for something like that for a while. off to Asda x

[@elizabethbrown6287]

Caroline, I think you don't like the wider jeans just because you aren't used to seeing yourself in them. Like most others here, I think they looked fab and much more flattering than skinnies on a plus size. I think you should persevere, try different top combinations, maybe a small French tuck? I say stick with it, give yourself chance to get used to how you look in them, then you might see what everyone else does. ❤ The pinstripe joggers outfit looked great, really modern and fresh. Overall, a great haul. Thank you. Xx

[@gillianarnold933]

Hi Caroline. This comment isn't connected to this vlog but I just want to thank for recommending Laura Mercier face powder. It really is the best I've tried. I've got the translucent loose powder. Is that the one you use? x

[@juliepotter7995]

Love the shacket outfit on you 🥰

[@jankerslake5813]

I’m not a fan of flared jeans either - much prefer a straight leg which are much more flattering on virtually everyone tbh. Maybe try a straight jean in your transition away from the skinny leg jeans? Good luck.

[@sue6083]

I thought the flared jeans looked nice on you Caroline xx

[@tinashields1024]

I liked the jeans on you Caroline

[@whatjulieloves9921]

Great haul Caroline. I think wide leg jeans for us shorties need to be a slimmer wide leg if you know what I mean. The fat face Elise are gorgeous not too wide with a good stretch and very flattering. I did a Jean video yesterday if you want to have a look x

[@CarolineMrsM]

thanks, Julie, your video is in my watch later, I'm looking forward to watching it. Will check out the Elise jeans.

[@dawnmorris8027]

Fabulous Mrs M xx

[@jackiebaker1678]

The pink and red striped T is not the same as the picture. The stripes are different on the sleeves.

[@willowgirl2635]

I thought the flared jeans looked great on you, I know they are hard to get use to. If you styled them with a white top or shirt knotted in the front and your white trainers you would be happier with them. I think your shacket was one size too big, the size below would still be roomy. If you don’t sew just cut hems off at desired length and use iron on hemming tape to secure.

[@Grannysouth]

I'm in the US , am same height as you and flare jeans are not my friend. They just don't make me happy so I wear my straight or skinny jeans and enjoy them. I am US size 10 so it's not really suze, it is height that is the issue.

[@cherylcunningham7999]

I am going to disagree with you, the jeans looked really good on you! Liked the trousers too. I have exactly the same problem with trousers. Everything is always too long on me.

[@VooodoooDoll]

Caroline, I think the flared jeans & your blue top would work with a pair of Birkenstocks, rather than the trainers. 🙂

[@lorrainemortimer6106]

Hi Caroline - I am exactly like you on the hunt for flared jeans - I am5'4 18 on the top & 20 below (don't know why I felt the need to tell you that info - The things you must get told) anyway I have searched all major stores with still no result - So please do continue your search maybe you can come up with something

[@CarolineMrsM]

Hi Lorraine, there's been a couple of suggestions in the comments - one for River Island, which I was quite excited about but annoyingly the petite range only goes up to a 16. Also Elise from Fat Face which I've not yet had a chance to look at. The search will go on!!

[@chrisroylance3109]

The red striped top isn’t the same as the one in the cutout picture, the sleeves are different.

[@CarolineMrsM]

I know, but the picture is the photo on the listing for the item I purchased.

[@chrisroylance3109]

@@CarolineMrsM what a shame as the one on the cut out looked much nicer.

[@CarolineMrsM]

@@chrisroylance3109 it really did

[@lizrichman9812]

Hi Caroline, I liked the jeans on you. Perhaps you're not comfortable with them because they are out of your comfort zone. Also ask your Mum to take up the length on the trousers, a good look on you and price point.

[@carolegeggie2305]

I actually think the grey jeans look good. When you’re not used to a shape on yourself it is difficult to see how they actually fit. They do fit on your bum and just fall from there rather then cupping. I am not saying this are specifically the right ones. I’d say keep looking!

[@helenparker3165]

Shacket looks lovely on you. The tunic dress is a nice shape but a smaller size would be better for you. The jeans look nice from the side. Not sure about the wrapover dress bit flimsy. Sorry.xx

[@1960gal]

Personally l'm not keen on wide legged jeans. I've got slim legs (the only bit of me that is!!) and l find anything other than skinny jeans make me look much bigger all over. I do like a boot leg cut though, as long as it's got a bit of stretch. I have a pair of flairs from Tu but I feel like I'm going to trip over with all that fabric floating around! I'm 63 so not too bothered that everyone says that skinny jeans are passé!😊 I'll be controversial here too and say that l feel that the clothing at George Asda isn't as nice as it once was. I think I noticed the difference when the new owners took over: the quality changed.They lost me when they introduced S/M/L/XL instead of individual sizes. Shame, because l liked their casual tunics and tops.

[@Mollylife-6666]

Sorry didn’t like the flared jeans but the shackett and first dress lovely

[@patriciacargill4975]

Wide legs have a tendency to make people look square. Think the best option is to go for a slim bootcut. At least they are narrow at top and only flare out at bottoms. We'll that's what I'm trying for. Live shacked and little smock dress but think it would be too short on me. I'm 5ft 8. Really did not like that pink and red t shirt. No shape and neck too high

[@jantabb8966]

The jeans look nice but they are not flared jeans they are wide leg jeans. Flares have tighter legs at the top going down into a flare.

[@donnasymons1872]

Nah to the flared jeans ! Reminiscent of hippy days.

[@debblackwell2750]

As soon as I see a split in trousers I know I’m gonna have to cut it out and then they fit. It gets so expensive tailoring all the time and time consuming. I’m useless with a needle and cotton and not much better with magic tape. Unless you love it it does not deserve a place in your wardrobe

[@b85382]

Hi Caroline I agree with @jantabb8966 the jeans are wide leg jeans and not flared jeans and do look nice on you in fact I think that’s the best pair of jeans I’ve seen you in everything about them is perfect on you I’m not throwing any shade on you but I know you hate the fact that tighter jeans show off your arthritic knee I have the same problem only both of mine are athritic and swell up something awful and make me really self conscious whereas I find this cut of jeans a godsend I love them the black trousers are the same style and look great on you as well I think it’s well worth paying the money to get them taken up if your mum can’t do it as those trousers never go out of style and if you get fed up with them put them away for a while and bring them back out when that passes
