Wow that takes me back. Very y2k. If noone else suggests anything, a local seamstress could take them up and it wont cost a huge amount, maybe £20ish? Or you/your daughter can buy iron on hem tape or hand sew the hem shorter.

Thank you - I suggested exactly that (she's a v good seamstress!) but was greeted with a look of horror... It's funny, because she isn't that short - average really - so I'd have thought that as she gets into adult sizes she'd be OK. But we can't find anything like this which is anywhere in sight of the right length.

Stripe jeans or bootcut but the UO BDG Kayla pinstripe jeans come in a 30 leg.
im 5’4 and they fit perfectly.

also I found in store that not all the 32 leg jeans were identical so if you rummage you might find a slightly shorter pair

Has she tried them on as I also have a pair of 32 in ones and they are ok and I defo don’t have 32 in legs

Yes, she tried them on - just way too long. Maybe they are sitting oddly on her? V good tip that they are not all the same length, though - will get her to look x

I got M&S have high waist cropped kick flare jeans that look very similar and they come in short, regular and long. As your daughter is 5 4 The regular or long might do
