Bear with me.
I'm 5 ft 1 and 7st. After trekking all over town trying to find jeans that fit, I finally snuck into H&M changing rooms and tried on the 12yo jeans. They fit (as skinny jeans, obv), and they were cheap too.
Obviously I'm not planning on buying ALL my clothes from the kids dept from now on, but I was just wondering whether any other small people sometimes bought kids' clothes and which shops were best
