Vera Hue-Williams (1899-1992), the daughter of a barrister, fled Russia in 1917 with her mother, Baroness Kostovsky, and sister Olga, apparently penniless apart from the jewels sewn into her petticoat hem. Like many leaving Russia they ended up in Paris where in 1927 she married her first husband, a British diplomat called George Owen. This marriage ended in divorce and in 1931 she became the second wife of Walter Sherwin Cottingham of the Berger Paint company (his first wife had been the soprano, Maggie Teyte). After Walter’s death in 1936 Vera married again in 1940, this time to Thomas Lilley, chairman of the shoe firm Lilley and Skinner. Together they founded the Woolton House Stud near Newbury and also lived at Middleton-on-Sea near Goodwood where they entertained lavishly. Thomas Lilley died in 1959, and in 1963 Vera married her fourth husband, Colonel Roger Hue-Williams. She continued to breed racehorses including her husband’s horse Altesse Royale which won three major races in 1971. Roger predeceased her in 1987 and when she died in 1992 she left £9 million. The sale of her jewels raised around £3 million.

My everyday Jean
Special Size: Wide Leg Crop, Size: 8, Color: Medium Blue Vintage
They don’t have much of a stretch to them but they do get a bit more lose around the waist when you wearing often. Got a size 8 was tight but after a few uses they got perfect. Be Definitely is a thick jean material tucks in any unwanted over hang. Don’t tumble dry they do shrink

Good Jean for the price waist hips run small
Special Size: Wide Leg, Size: 18, Color: Black
These pants are good for the price. I needed a pair of wide leg black jeans and the price on these was good. Reviews said the waist was small. I’m a 16/18. Got an 18. And the high waist (up to my belly button) fits snug but has a little give. Still comfortable to wear. The butt thigh area fits snugger than most wide leg pants but again not so tight or uncomfortable to not wear. The fabric is a brushed Jean fabric not just a woven cotton Jean so dog hair sticks to it like glue. They are a heavy quality fabric so not a summer pant. They are a keeper for me. If a gain a few pounds I can these being a no go.

Love these jeans
Size: 12, Color: Iced Blue Light Wash
These a comfortable and flattering pair of jeans. They are length is too long for me but, they have a wide hem and taking them up one hems length makes them a perfect fit for me. This is an easy fix if they are too long. They are well made and a good value in today’s market.

Great jeans but order a full size down if like to fit snug
Size: 10, Color: Iced Blue Light Wash
love these jeans so far. I have a hard time buying jeans and have only really loved Maurice’s everflex. But now found these. Have only had them a few weeks but so far love them. I am normally a solid size 12. I ordered these in a 12 and thought they fit perfect at first. I even washed and dried them and they were fitting nice. But upon wearing them one time, they really stretched out by the end of the day. To the point I felt they were too big. I decided to order a 10. I don’t ever wear a size 10. But so far they are perfect. They were pretty snug to get on but stretch out to fitting perfect after wearing a bit. I like my jeans tight around my middle section. But the legs are still loose and fit great. Size down if you like them tight around your middle/no gapping. They are also the perfect length even when sizing down. Not too short or way too long. 5’6-7” and about 180 pounds.
