My price range maybe completely different to yours so it’s hard to advise.

A department store like John Lewis who stock several brands with petite sizing, may be a good place to start. It also depends what sort of styles you are looking for. Formal and smart try Reiss and Hobbs, more informal clothing - Next, Seasalt Whitestuff, M&S and many high street brands have petite ranges or shorter lengths. Dress shopping at present can be tricky if you are short due to the maxi trend - everything is soo long!

Bonmarche for trousers. At 5ft 1 M and S petite trousers are still far too long for me.

Boden. More Dior price wise than Primark but i love their stuff. Good petite range

I am the same way, at 4ft 10ins M&S short length trousers are too long. Their dresses this season are all long and extra long.

pinkprincess- I had a conversation with a lovely assistant in M&S York recently who said many petite ladies were complaining that their short trousers were too long. Occasionally they do extra short but it doesn't cover every style and colour. Also they sell out very quickly so there is obviously the demand

Try White Stuff. They do petite trousers.

Next, although I find there's more choice online than in my local store

MANY THANKS ladies, I have copied out a list and will work my way through the websites. I'm 5ft dead and get sick of jeans and jammie bottoms trailing behind me like the Mummy's bandages grin

Thankyou. Buckkie.
I can remember when they did extra short, but never seen any or ages.
