Maternity jeans for shorties

redandyellowandpinkandgreen · 2013-03-02T16:45:52+00:00

Anyone seen any? I think I'm resigning myself to a summer of dresses and skirts.

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Have a look at New Look online. I got some with a 30" leg and someone else said they'd got some with a 28" leg.

Will be watching with interest! I've spent 4 hours searching every shop in the city for skinny over the bump jeans for my short legs, impossible!!

Mamas and Pappas do a short leg, they were the only ones I could find after searching and searching. Set me back £38 but have pretty much lived in them the whole of the pregnancy (35 weeks, started wearing them at 9 weeks) and they are still going stong. I think next do a short leg but they didn't really suit me.

Not much help but I bought maternity jeans from H&M and cut them then turned them up, that's pretty much what I always do with jeans though as I'm only 5ft!

I have mothercare under bump short leg, really comfy and the under bump part was adjustable so they have done me from weeks 24-34 so far with no problems. Mine were from eBay for £5, definitely recommend keeping eye there the petite items seemed to go a bit cheaper than standard length too

Next do some fab maternity jeans in their petite sizes and ASOS also. Hope this helps

The Next ones I got are 30" I think but too big and not skinny enough.

Thanks for the ideas, such a shame there's hardly anywhere you can go and try on.

I gave up, I am looking forward to not being pregnant and getting back into normal jeans! I have spent my winter in leggings.

PaulaPixie · 02/03/2013 20:20

The Next maternity petite jeans are. 27.5" leg, but they have no Petite sizes for the skinny fit, only bootcut, they're missing a trick there!

DeathMetalMum · 02/03/2013 20:22

I'm 5'1 1/2 got all of my jeans from new look some online others in store. I also found some petite sizes in mothercare though this was a few years ago (last pregnancy).

If you order from new look you can use their free click and collect service and say order and pay for 3 different pairs and return them on the spot if they are not right.

Red herring from Debenhams were nice when I was pregnant - in fact I had some really nice maternity clothes from there, especially a blue cotton wrap dress for the Summer.

Top Shop Baxter maternity jeans...brilliant for me (I'm 5 foot 3)

I had mamas and papas skinny maternity jeans. I've got very short legs and they were a good length on me.

chocolatesolveseverything · 02/03/2013 22:01

I'm wearing a pair of 28" jeans from www.funmum.com at the moment and they're really comfy. They do good short work trousers too if you're in need of them.

runnerbabe6 · 04/03/2013 03:09

My shortie self struggled as well. I was disappointed with what I found on the High Street. Was so happy when I found Just Matenrity Jeans.com. They have some boot cuts and skinny styles at 28" www.justmaternityjeans.com/uk/28-inch-length-maternity-jeans/vip and even more varieties at 30" including some coloured options www.justmaternityjeans.com/uk/30-inch-length-maternity-jeans/vip

I got some 30" ones from New Look and saw they do 28" ones as well. They're not as nice as H&M ones but I find those area always WAY too long.

parttimer79 · 04/03/2013 13:47

Topshop Leigh in 30" suit me just fine and I'm 5 1.
They are so comfy (mmm hello elasticated waistband) but still look like "normal" skinny jeans,

I bought 2 pairs of H&M ones and got them shortened. Cost me about a tenner x

My new look ones are 30 inch leg and were 14.99. Also have some 'jeggings' but more like skinny jeans from mother care that don't state a length but fit my 30 inch leg- they were 20 quid. Quality on both isn't great new look ones have bobbles on knees after 6 wears. The m

GuessWho04 · 04/03/2013 22:38

I brought new look ones, in size 28", they were brilliant. Lasted me the whole pregnancy and I can keep them for the next one. Wait for a bit, they usually rstock website often.

Snazzynewyear · 04/03/2013 22:43

I also bought ones I just liked anyway (think they were Next) and took them to a tailor to get them professionally shortened. This will almost certainly be quicker and cheaper than chasing round after a pair that are the right length. Take it from a total shortarse who always has trouble with this...

Another vote for top shop

Gap cropped jeans ended up looking like skinny full length on me
