I’ve been searching for some new stuff on and off for a bit now but I’m struggling.

Does anyone know where I can buy some without having to shell out a small fortune?

Primark, but it is a bit hit and miss regarding what’s in store. I am 5’1” and it fits me fine. Also I wear Nike capris. Marks and Spencer’s range is quite good at the moment. Try H &M as well.
Sweaty Betty is for beanpoles. I found their tops were like dresses on me and rolled up into my waist. Also very expensive.

Primark and Asda.

I buy capri pants and tee shirts, I like the longer length of the tops - well they're regular sizes I just have a short thorax.

Sweaty betty and I'm 5 ft 1. They do short lengths.

I get my leggings from Adidas, usually get them in the sale. I only ever get calf length ones, the small ones fit me perfectly.

I like longer length tops too, so buy normal size tops.

I got lucky with some 3/4 length leggings at Primark. It's also worth a look in TK Maxx.

ASOS have petite exercise clothes although I've never tried them.

Sweaty Betty do 7/8 leggings if you want to wait until Black Friday.

Thanks everyone, I’ve been trying Primani and there’s just nothing that appeals in oyrclocal branch. I think i’ll try Asda on my way to work tomorrow and maybe have a look at Sweaty Betty on Black Friday too Smile

I’m 5’3 and get 3/4 length Capri pants from Decathlon although the las good ones I got were from Sports Direct.

I’m 5ft 1 (and a half), and got some capris from decathlon. They also come up to my actual waist instead of below belly button. They were £11 I think....

Sainsbury’s, TKMaxx, Zulily, Brand Alley, I have full length and ankle length, which are probably Capri on some.

I'm 4' 11" and have some nice ones from LandsEnd and others from Sports Direct. My favorites were Danskin but they are so faded and old they are the backups now.
