Where to find petite or cropped knitwear in natural fibres?

I'm 5"1 and I find it really hard to find plain natural fibre knitwear that sits on or just below my natural waist. I'd love a handful of light summer sweaters and thicker ones for winter. Can anyone recommend anywhere to try? Budget up to about £125.

It’s difficult as your waist is in a different position to those of average height. And most clothing is sized for the average.

My shorter jumpers have been cropped styles from H&M - try their younger adult range (called Divided I think) or even plain jumpers from the older kids range.
I also find Mango sizing comes up small and have a couple from there and one or two from Zara. You’re looking for styles specifically described as cropped.

None are natural fibres though. I don’t know which high street brands reliably do natural fibres these days, if any.

I have this problem being the same height as you, as you say its so hard to find anything not with acyclic which I hate.

I thought thought had closed?

I am short bodied and woolovers were a good fit. Although let’s face it, not the most stylish I grant you. But natural fibres and if you are in the market for something very plain they may be worth a look?
