The changing room experience when shopping for jeans is traumatic for most women - and those with curves could be forgiven for claiming it a human rights violation.
Fed up with her shopping experiences, Wakeling has designed her own range of jeans which are available in sizes 8 to 26. She has cleverly designed them to fit different body shapes, from hourglass to noodle, apple to pear and love heart. Natalie's aim for her range is that every woman, regardless of size or shape, will be able to find a pair of jeans to not only fit but to feel wonderful in. 'Jeans are something every woman needs. It's a staple. No matter what size or shape you are, you have to have a pair'.
Wakeling wants to be clear, however, that Embody Denim is not purely a plus-size label. 'I've had a lot of demand for jeans from smaller sizes including size 8. All the PR specialists I spoke to before starting my business told me there was no way I could market a range that caters up to a size 26 as a mainstream fashion itfashion item, but I've proven them wrong. Jeans are meant to be fashionable after all'.
For New Zealand women, Wakeling's fantastic jeans are available to buy on her website www.embodydenim.com.au or from stockists in Auckland and Palmerston North. Her website also offers great advice for selecting the most flattering style but if you're still unsure you can email the Embody Denim team your measurements and they'll let you know which style will suit you best - how's that for personal service?

Trinny & Susannah introduce Magic Knickers!
Trinny & Susannah have brought Magic Knickers to the nation's attention in a big way. On their hit TV show What Not To Wear, they showed us how badly fitted underwear can completely ruin your look by creating VPL and lumps and bumps. They proved that by wearing a pair of good Magic Knickers you can look pounds lighter and all your bulges will be smoothed away.
Trinny & Susannah have now launched their own range of Magic Knickers. "These Magic Knickers will suck you in and hoik you up quicker than any diet or exercise regime," say Trinny & Susannah. "After a decade of researching and road testing shape wear, we have found the perfect range of Magic Knickers."
The Trinny and Susannah Bum Tum and Thigh Reducer offers an amazing slimming effect that covers from just above your knees to just below your bust and the results are really amazing. You will be sucked in and shaped and fat rolls will be reduced. You will end up with a visibly slimmer silhouette and a reduction of up to one dress size! The bacteriostatic "Skinlife" fibre is active against bacteria and maintains natural skin balance.
