M and s short length.

AgentProvocateur · 27/12/2019 07:54

Gap.

Skinnychip · 27/12/2019 07:56

I buy cropped (or ankle grazer jeans, and they're usually the right length. Although next or dorothy perkins petite is a good fit for me

pinkstar01 · 27/12/2019 07:57

ASOS and Topshop mostly, I'm 5'1

AndMiffyWentToSleep · 27/12/2019 07:59

Don’t think it is possible, unless your hips are as curve-less as a 12yr old and you buy kids clothes.

Even petite ranges will be 3 inches too long for you if you’re 5 foot.

cultmaskid · 27/12/2019 08:00

@pinkstar01 which ones from ASOS

I like the Leigh topshop petite but they are always sold out and their range of them is more and more limited

To add to the trouble I am slim abut a 27 or 26 is the size I need

Levis - invest in a decent pair. They cater to all lengths and shapes

Youvegotafriendinme · 27/12/2019 08:02

I’m 5ft 1/2” and I find Asda George short leg the absolute perfect length. Recently bought some from M and S, again in the short leg and they are about 1/2” too long but great with boots.

VanCleefArpels · 27/12/2019 08:03

M&S Harper cigarette shape in short length is what you need. Alternatively any cropped jeans 27 inch inside leg are the right length. However it may be that whilst we are the same height overall your proportions may be different with a longer body and shorter kegs in which case you will probably need to get the sewing kit out!

HuloBeraal · 27/12/2019 08:05

M&S. Gap. Next Petite range.

TheBananaInPyjamas · 27/12/2019 08:06

Primark surprisingly do good fits. You can buy most sizes in various leg lengths. I buy a 12 with leg 28 and they're a good fit.

icklekid · 27/12/2019 08:06

Crew short length trousers are my favourite (always buy in their sale) next petite are ok too

AFistfulofDolores1 · 27/12/2019 08:06

Levis.

kittykarate · 27/12/2019 08:19

Primark 28" leg. I get their super suck you in skinnies.

DisgruntledGuineaPig · 27/12/2019 08:27

Boden petite.

IceniSky · 27/12/2019 08:32

I'm under 5 foot and wear Next skinnies, they tuck under fine and not a massive amount. Non skinnies I buy calf length / ankle length which fit as full length.

Oblomov20 · 27/12/2019 08:37

I can't find any. I've never been able to. I hate the current fashion of spray on/jeggings type jeans. I want old style.

I have a very small waist and huge hips, so always have an uncomfortable gap at the back of my waist.

Blueberryblueberry · 27/12/2019 08:44

Fat Face skinnies are the perfect ankle length - I'm about 5ft1? I roll them slightly to wear the ankle boots

shoogal · 27/12/2019 08:45

Next Petite
Tesco short leg

purplemunkey · 27/12/2019 08:48

Levi’s. I also have lots of jeggings from White Stuff that do a shorter length.

ProfessorRadcliffeEmerson · 27/12/2019 09:43

Uniqlo is good, they shorten them for you! They do small sizes too.

Mikethenight2good · 27/12/2019 09:46

Next petite & oasis do short lengths too

Beachcomber · 27/12/2019 09:49

Levi's and Primark

Radardodgingninga · 27/12/2019 09:57

Next petite or Uniqlo

TheGinGenie · 27/12/2019 10:02
