Petite ladies - where do you buy clothes?

I'm 5'2 and a size 12, I find it almost impossible to buy trousers/skirts/dresses/jeans that fit properly.

I'm fairly large busted so average tops and t-shirts are not a problem, I've lost some weight recently and need to buy new bottoms, I'm finding that the legs are always far too baggy if the waist fits, so I need skinny or super skinny jeans and jeggings.

Any advice gratefully received.

Jeans - Uniqlo, Miss Selfridge, New Look (no I'm not aged 17)

Smart trousers - Mango and Zara

Casual dresses - bit hit and miss, Uniqlo, H&M, Gap, Warehouse, Mango, Zara

Tailored work dresses - Banana Republic, various House of Fraser labels, Mango/Zara.

Skirts - struggle to be honest but Uniqlo, H&M, Mango, Zara.

For smart/work clothes I use a local seamstress to do alterations (not just length, neckline, shoulders, waist etc too).

Also wear normal super skinny jeans from various places but turn up the hems , looks nice with heels or pointy Zara flats.

Boohoo also do a small petite range , I have a gorgeous black jumpsuit from there, perfect leg length .

Gap for trousers and skirts (petite range isn't bad). Dresses from Hobbs aren't too bad, but skirts and trousers are way too long.
