jeans for very slim preteen

Really hoping one of the experts on here can help me. Dd is 10 nearly 11 and we are finding it impossible to find jeans to fit her.

If we get them to fit her legs (even with the maternity style elastic and buttons) they are big on her waste and sag around her hips and bottom.

If we get them to fit her waste they are half way up her legs.

So far she has been wearing them in a smaller size which has been fine for summer but she really needs full length for winter.

I have no idea where to look. We are not in the UK but have tried h&m, c&a a local department store and none fit.

I can order online from the UK but have no idea which stores do jeans for very slim children.

I would be really grateful for any advice Smile or recommendations. We will be in the UK at Christmas and if I can find some I will stock up.

Wow thanks again everyone I was just telling dd about this thread while I was putting her to bed and she is really excited. We have a plan to do some Internet shopping in the morning Smile

Another vote for topshop Joni but you may need to order the small sizes online as they never seem to have them in our local top shops.

For my beanpole, H&M has always been a winner - the jeggings ones are great. We also have some M&S - variable firsts but her current best jeans are from there.
Also leggings rather than jeans a lot of the time...

Firsts = fits.

Levi's super skinnies and jeggings are fabulous on my bean pole dd. www.levi.com/GB/en_GB/levi/p/770850073

Not Zara. I am bringing back 2 pairs for my daughter which are massive on her.
