Petite maternity ranges?

[WestYorkshireGirl]

Hi

Does anyone know of any maternity ranges that do petite sizes (particularly trouser lengths)? I am really struggling with all the clothes I find being way to big!

Thanks!

I had big probs with maternity jeans - found some in mothercare which were good length wise but didn't get on well with underbump fit.

Got another pair in Dorothy Perkins - as I wear a uniform for work haven't had to worry about formal wear trousers but think they do those in different lengths too x

I got my jeans from Gap that fit well and managed to get some work trousers from Mothercare that have lasted well (now 28 weeks) but other than that there isn't much in petite sizes. I think there are some specialist online maternity ranges that do petite but don't have any links

hope those get you started!!

I'm selling 2 pairs of Mamas and Papas size 12 short jeans if you are interested?

I bought all my stuff on Ebay and spent some of the money I saved on getting trousers turned up at the dry cleaner round the corner. The brands I really like don't do shorter leg lengths: Crave and Seraphine are really good and flattering. Beware though - I didn't allow for maternity trousers mostly going under the bump rather than where my waist used to be, so I've got a lot of slightly-too-long trousers!

I'm under 5" and found Mamas and Papas the best place if you want to try them on. The assistant at our branch helpfully got me one of every single style in the short size, about 12 pairs of trousers in total, to take into the changing room and try on! I still ended up taking up one of the two pairs that I bought, but it was much better than anywhere else I tried.

Marks and Spencers don't do short sizes of their maternity trousers by the way, even to order.
