Where to buy clothes for slim children?

Any suggestions on where I can buy clothes for my 4yo slim DD that has relatively small waists comparative to other brands and/or adjustable waists? Her 3-4 trousers are all starting to get a bit short now, but the waists still fit her absolutely fine, and the few 4-5 hand-me-down trousers we have hang off her waist.

OP, having spent the last 15 years with a tall skinny child, the best thing I did was buy a sewing machine and take some sewing classes, if you didn't do any at school.

Or find a kind mum/aunt/gran who knows how to tailor.

H&M have always been the best for DD, she's always been very slim, not tall but long legs. She's lived in leggings/jeggings for most of her life as jeans and trousers are always too big on the waist or too short in the leg.

Mine went into petite size 6 adult clothes about 14 as soon as they could, not because of height but because kids clothes were so wide. Honestly British kids clothes are made for fat children.

I always stocked up in france if we holidayed there as clothes fitted them better.

Gap used to do long and lean fit for jeans which did fit but they stopped at 11-12. Mine are adults now so some brands will have discontinued but verbedet fitted the best I found. They are now a size 6 and a size 10 in their 20's, me not so much, they don't have my build thankfully
