Where to get petite, good quality clothes?

Hi
I have got to the age (late 30s) where I should be progressing from Topshop et al. to shops like Jigsaw and Hush. I love the clothes in there but they are all to long for me as I am only 5'1. Are there any places (apart from Boden, where I have got a few bits, but their trousers don't fit me well) that do petites? A friend of mine suggested going to Singapore to shop as all the clothes are shorter there, but the budget doesn't quite stretch to that!
Is anyone in the same boat or have some ideas? TIA

I'm 5ft2" and I shop on the High street, I'm just resigned to the fact that culottes on the model will be full length on me, midis will be maxis etc. Sad

However, I have bought lovely trousers in the past and had them altered - we have a good tailors nearby, and despite the additional cost, I find it is worth it to have some items tailored to fit my frame.

I don't often buy specific petite items, but I do look on the Asos site at their petite range. Not the best quality, but that's the trade off.

Uniqlo have a very reasonable tailoring service (in store? In London branches maybe?) to adjust hems etc. and I'm a big fan of their clothes in general.

Thank you. I will definitely look into Uniqlo as I like their things

I'm 5ft 1 and have recently got some petite mom jeans from Asos which are great. Gap is also good x

Banana Republic, John Lewis.

Next and Debenhams both have petite collections but check the quality.

Hobbs have a very small petite collection.

Wallis have a good petite selection. I’m 5’1” and they fit me nicely.
