Help me find some jeans - short and big bum, high waist

[BramblyHedge]

I am fed up with trying to find jeans to fit. I thought Next had the answer but they are awful and roll down.

I am 5 ft 2 and a 12-14. I have a big bum/ hips and a high waist which is about 32in in jeans terms. Usually need 28leg. I used to buy Gap but got fed up with wrecking the bottoms as they hit the ground (30leg). Next is the right length but their high rise is too low for me and I either get muffin top (12) or they fall down (14). Levis look like they do a curvy option but nothing for short people and I am probably too fat and uncool for them anyway.

Shall I give up and live in skirts which are the only think which seem to suit me?

Don't even get me started on my upper half...petite clothes for a 32G bust...feel like nobody makes clothes for me :-(

I'm short and big bottomed, M&S Per Una Roma short length usually has something that fits well. I have had ones from Next that work but much more hit and miss. Another thought - not cool but there should be something to fit any shape and whatever leg length you want - Land's End, once you've sussed US sizing.

I'm 5'2" and I just got the levi's bold curve about a week ago and I love them. They are tight enough not to fall down but the denim has give in them. Normally even if I get jeans tight they just slouch down and I end up with baggy denim all low slung around my bum, accentuating it! argh.

The 30" leg length is ok on me. my linside leg is 29", what's your inside leg measurement? they might not be too long on you with shoes.

[BramblyHedge]

Thanks for the responses. Put my DH to work and apparently my inside leg is 27.5in so Levis might be a bit long unfortunately. Will try M&S as we have one in town.

[LizLemon007]

look at these, bold curve and you can choose a 28" leg length!

If you go for the Levis check out TK Maxx first. They often have them in at a fraction of the price.

I got some from White Stuff last year that fitted me, also 5' 2" etc.

[BramblyHedge]

Ooh thanks, I like White Stuff so will try that. littlewoods dont have my waist size :-( but thanks!

Anyone tried petite Boden jeans?

I got a lovely pair from Wallis petite last year. 5'2" aswell and perfect lenght.

Try these M&S Jeggings

They are called jeggings but they are actually very stretchy skinny jeans with a properly high waist and in 3 lengths, that is they are fitted on the thighs and calves but not skintight on knees and ankles. I bought some last week and am so pleased with them (I am curvy with big thighs / smallish waist). They don't go baggy after one wear like Next always seem to and are extremely comfy.

I was also going to say M&S jeggings.I buy the pull-on ones with a wide elastic band at the top so i have no muffin top.I am 5 ft 3 and they are really flattering on,in the dark colours.Alternatively the Per Una[i know]Roma jeans are pretty good in short.
