Petite maternity clothes

Hi everyone,

does anyone have recommendations for petite maternity clothes? I’m 5’2 and can’t wear regular length trousers and dresses. I’m really struggling to find maternity dresses/ skirts and jeans/ leggings that would fit me. Anywhere on the high street where I can try on would also be helpful ☺️
thank you!

Nobody’s child do petite maternity, often in the sale too. Seraphine petite fit me leg wise for work trousers, also bought in the sale. I think m&s do a short fit maternity jeans and jeggings (but they come up tight round the hips). Asos do stock stuff too. Sorry doesnt help for trying on!
I’m 5 foot 1 and also cant wear regular length :) i need to clear my maternity stuff out and put it on vinted, if i get round to it over the bank holiday il come back and let you know.
To be honest in spring/summer weather, floaty stuff sized up is a good shout too. I got good wear out of a couple of old zara dresses in the size up to what i was pre pregnancy x

I'm 5ft. I bought longer style tops a couple of sizes bigger. Maternity tops were too long. All my trousers are always too long so I bought maternity ones and just took up the legs as per normal. Stretchy trousers are in at the moment so the should be able accommodate bump. Maybe buy the next size up and just take up the legs. There has always been a gap in the market for petite maternity clothes.

Thank you! There is such a big gap! I don’t feel like I’m so short to find it so hard to find clothes in general- I’m not that much shorter than a lot of women! I think I might have to get the sewing machine out!
