Short leg maternity trousers

[socktastic]

Help! I cannot find a pair of workwear trousers anywhere for my short stubby legs! The only short legs I've come across is in next and it's just jeans. I've got one pair of them and they've faded shockingly! It's very obvious that now I'm just wearing jeans to work... does anyone have any pointers?

Buy longer and use a tailoring service to get them hemmed if you don't fancy diy. Most high streets have one somewhere!

I'm sure I got some from New Look last time as well as Next. I'm 25 weeks atm with quite a big bump and I'm wearing some normal short length stretch waist trousers from M&S with the elastic band folded over. They actually feel like they fit much better than the actual maternity trousers I got last time.

I got a pair in new look recently, they’re ok, not brilliant quality.

Try Dorothy Perkins, I think I had some quite good ones from there last time. Also I'm fairly sure ASOS do petite maternity (although that may be wishful thinking!)

Sorry I never found any! I would suggest turning up (wonder web is a good friend to us diminutive types in and out of pregnancy!) or stick with dresses/boots/tights for as long as the weather makes that feasible. For mat jeans and leggings I've just been folding the ends up underneath because I am lazy. Leggings and boots/smart flats and a tunic top /long cardigan can be nice for work too if you are not in a very suit-based environment (most offices aren't now).

ASOS do Petite Maternity, as someone else mentioned

A high street seamstress will be able to turn them up for you fairly cheaply and quickly- certainly way easier than doing the run around trying to find somewhere that does decent short leg mat wear.

I had a big complicated tear in the groin of my “good” maternity jeans and got them repaired for £6, so it isn’t an expensive option.

I'm in New Look's long legged crop leg (does that make sense? Crop trous for tall ladies) maternity trousers, they fit my stubby shortarse legs just fine 😂
