Hi all hopefully you can help me. I'm 5'1 and having trouble finding jeans that aren't too long or too baggy on me. They have to be high waisted because since having dd I have a terrible stomach Confused any suggestions?

M&S high rise styles in short. You might have to take them up but they have skinny, slim and wider styles. Something for everyone. Try 7/8 ones? Buy a variety on line and return the ones that don’t work fir you. They are quite well priced in my view.

Or look at Zara and Top Shop. Again 7/8 ones might work.

I'm 5 foot and I buy all my jeans from the kids' section. (Our height is age 12).

M&S jeggings, next a few styles, debenhams had a jasper cornan which has sadly stopped nowadays. I am 5 2" so can't use kids and I am not v slim too :(. I once got Levi jeans in sale and they did alterations free. Pricey but probably the best pair I even owned and still have it 5 years down the line.

Try Top Shop

Current trend is for jeans to be short in the leg and the 32” ones fitted DD perfectly - she has 28” legs normally

They do different waist sizes as well

Topshop Jamie jeans. I wear the 30" leg but they have a petite version that's shorter too. Great at holding in my 2x c-section tummy!

I'm 5ft 2in and get the lift, slim & shape jeans from next petite range. They're made for under 5ft 3in so I do often role the cuffs up once or twice but they fit well otherwise.
I do need to try some other places though as I find these ones now don't last as long as they used to!

i went in to Levis yesterday and tried a few pairs . The best were the 721 high waisted skinnies . in the 28 leg they were still a little long so i'm having an inch taken up , they will alter them for free . i am 5ft 1 too .
