Looking for recommendations please, somewhere reasonably priced. I like Dorothy Perkins petite range but struggle to find anything elsewhere.

Always Next petite or if jeggings M&S short.

FrogFairy · 25/09/2018 16:26

jDWilliams have 59 pairs of petite jeans on a search but I suspect they may not be trendy enough for you.

I'm 5'2" and generally find petite jeans fit well from most stores. I've bought jeans from ASOS, M&S, and Gap. Mint Velvet do a petite range but I've not bought from them.

NotExactlyHappyToHelp · 25/09/2018 16:28

Topshop Jamie jeans. They come in leg and waist measurements. They’re spot on for me. No more jeans ending at my toes.

Miss Selfridge petite also a good shout.

BareBelliedSneetch · 25/09/2018 16:29

Short ones from Sainsbury’s.

Elphabaisnotwicked · 25/09/2018 16:31

I’m just under 5’1 and find that topshop is the only place I can buy jeans!

WorryPot9 · 25/09/2018 16:33

I haven’t bought them myself, but as a short person with a 26” inside leg, Bon Marche do very short length trousers so possibly worth a look.

LaDameAuxLicornes · 25/09/2018 16:33

Topshop petite. Mostly around the £40 mark. If they're too pricy for you then identify a style you like and pick them up 2nd hand on ebay. They're the only jeans I've found that come in short length without looking either cheap or frumpy.

Imfinehowareyou · 25/09/2018 16:38

Another vote for new look.

whyevencare · 25/09/2018 16:40

I'm 4ft 11 and always buy Next petite jeans, sometimes i even have to turn them under a tad Blush

ErrolTheDragon · 25/09/2018 16:42

Next petite or M&S short.

Shadow1234 · 25/09/2018 16:43

Next petite, as others have suggested. My SIL is 4' 11 and gets lots of lovely clothes from their petite section, including jeans

HoleyCoMoley · 25/09/2018 16:46

M and co. They do a petite range, short, reg and long. I'm 5 foot and buy the short.

aroomwithaperfectview · 25/09/2018 16:46

Mostly Gap but I once bought a nice pair from Next Petite.

OvO · 25/09/2018 16:46

God, look at you lot showing off about your long legs. Ooh, over 5 foot, you long legged bastards.

I'm wearing next petite jeans and have had to wear them rolled up several times! DH asked me if it was the 80's again.

Mumof1andacat · 25/09/2018 16:48

Petite section jeans and trousers are still too long! I'm 5ft. I've just become good at taking them up!

OhHolyJesus · 25/09/2018 16:51

Gap x

lulumcgish · 25/09/2018 16:51

Sainsburys, I used to like debenhams petite, but they are now too long!Shock

xJune88 · 25/09/2018 16:52

Newlook and primark. Primark do all sizes starting at a 28" leg I'm 5 foot and they're perfect x

bookmum08 · 25/09/2018 16:54

Bon Marche.

wonkylegs · 25/09/2018 16:57

4'11 - Sainsbury's short - blue ones fab for sizing, black ones a bit hit & miss
I used to get next but found sizing a bit hit & miss so gave up,

WellTidy · 25/09/2018 16:57

I am 5 foot 1 too, but m and s short are a bit too short on me. I buy standard length in straight leg and get them shortened.

WeeDoughball · 25/09/2018 16:59

I'm only 5'2 and usually buy River Island Molly jeans (they do S, R and L lengths). Actual petite ranges come up too short for me in jeans and trousers.

Figmentofimagination · 25/09/2018 17:01

M&S jeans for me
