Maternity leggings / jeans for shorter legs

7 replies

i'm getting to the stage where I will need to switch to maternity trousers shortly. What I would ideally like is some leggings and jeans, but the retailers I have tried so far seem to think everyone has legs the length of which a supermodel would envy.

I'm not short and I'm not tall - just an average 5'4". There must be somewhere I can buy appropriate length leggings - has anybody of a similar height found the ideal legging retailer?

New look and mamas and papas to petite jeans. I'm 5'4 and got some from mamas n papas last week n I love them and I'm not walking on them! Not sure about leggings though

Why not try www.globalmaternity.com. Some good leggings there and they offer special discounts if you register. Good luck with your search.

I'm a 5 foot midget. Try Next (online, not in store, where the selection seems pretty poor). They have a reasonable range of jeans including some petite length ones.

I'm wearing New look jeans, I'm 5'2''.

Definitely Mamas and Papas, they have neat little adjustable waist elastics . I got some Dorothy Perkins jeans and they're horrible, too long even though they were meant to be for us shorter legged gals.

I'm only 5'1 and have a great pair of skinny jeans from Topshop (Baxter, I think), really comfortable and I only need to turn up the bottoms an inch or two - I reckon they'd be just right for 5'4

I like the look of some of the leggings on Global Maternity and will be ordering later.

Thanks for all the tips on which shops do shorter leg lengths for jeans.
