Hi everyone!

I wasn't really sure where I should post this topic, but I've got a question for you ladies with shorter legs. I've been meaning to buy new jeans, but my legs are terribly short! I'm 5'3 and I measured my inseam and it's only 28"!

Just wanted to know everyone's height, inseam, and where do you like to buy your jeans? I buy jeans in short, but typically they're still a tad bit long. Express jeans in short use to fit me, but they changed the styles and are too long now. Guess I need to start wearing more heels =P

    I'm 5'3 and have short legs as well. Petite sizes fit me funny. I LOVE Buckle jeans. You can order them online & even bring them to the store to get them hemmed for FREE :o) I always have to hem my jeans. Good luck!

    I'm 5' 5". I have short legs for my height. Best jeans I've found for my petite legs are from NY and Company. Here's one example: http://www.nyandcompany.com/nyco/browse/productDetailWithPicker.jsp?productId=prod3050305&categoryId=cat2360002&browseSection=Promotion&FLCat=cat580006&addFacet=1002:cat580012. I love that the pants they have are high waisted to create the illusion that I have longer legs!

    If you find jeans that fit you perfectly in the waist and thighs for a good price but the length is too long, you can always bring it to a seamstress to get it altered. It runs anywhere from $10-$20.

    I have short legs too and I'm only 5'2". American Eagle and Aeropostle short sizes are the most comfy for me. I do find though, that I usually have to wear a heel with the American Eagle jeans, though.

    Good luck!

    I am the exact same height and inseam. I get Faded Glory Petite jeans at Walmart. They are good quality and really inexpensive. Perfect for when your losing weight and need an inbetween size.
