It's official, I'm a short arse.. had to return 31inch leg jeans..

[Lulumama]

need 29inch leg,wide leg jeans..

ideas please..

i have longer jeans to wear with wedges but since my ankle injury, am not up to heels, and the 31inch leg trousers were dragging in the puddles...

I was like you until I discovered Next Petites...

i can't really think of myself as petite will have a look though,, thanks

Petite just means "short ar$e". It's not commenting on the amount of cake you eat.

so i can be fat curvaceous and petite?! result

That's me down to a T

Ah I take a 30
I'm 5ft 7

It's all relative

Ah welcome to my world

It's Next petite jeans only for me too..

I would SO not describe myself as petite haha!

ah, look, lots of short arses!!

thanks

Which makes do 31" please? That would probably be perfect for me (most 32" do the puddle dragging thing, 30" err on the dodgy half mast look)

i got some from simplybe. i think dorothy perkins and M&S do them too

I thought M&S short jeans were 29"?

If they're not, maybe I'm taller than I thought.

But I am definitely a short arse & I can't wear wide-legged trousers at all - they make nme look like a penguin...

Sorry, I don't really understand this...
I am petite and I never worry about the lenth of trousers and jeans - I just get them taken up to the perfect length.
Surely most people need to do that, because unless you are the "perfect" woman, they are always going to be at least a little bit too long or too short...

Feelingoptimistic - I've dabbled with having jeans taken up but every time they've just looked not quite right.

Much easier to just buy petite jeans which are the perfect length for my deformed stumpy pins legs than to bother with the extra expense/hassle of alterations.

Also Next seems to be the only shop whose jeans fit me well and look nice - have given up trying anywhere else after too many disappointments to count!

Matalan!

Who would have thought it? Hundreds of jeans and trousers in all sorts of lengths, and really good prices.

I can never, ever find decent-length trousers. Petite are just that bit too short, and turning up jeans makes one look mega middle-aged (in denial emoticon).
