Going skiing with my friend who has a 10 yr old daughter who has a waist of 29" equivalent to a 14yr old. So the pants are all too long! All sizes seem to be standard, does anyone know where to start looking for larger sized children's clothes? My children are under 5yrs so am zero help to her and cannot find anything from a goggle search

thanks for any sugesstions

Perhaps you can get petite size adult ski wear? Unhelpful as I can't suggest a source!

These come in short length.

Some brands have an adjustable length leg - Decathlon is one iirc - which ruche up by a cord inside the leg.

Phenix and Spyder kids wear do this too but £££ although occasional bargains on ebay.

Decathlon ones here

Those are good LIZS, I didn't know you could get adjustable legsSmile.

She might be better investing in a seamstress - ski wear is not exactly made in generous sizes for adults - never mind children. :(

Decathlon is wonderful and does do the aforementioned larger sizes though! Grin
