    I'm a 0/2 depending on the make. I try to either find the jeans I like at consignment stores or ebay. My problem besides length is that my legs are short and more muscular than the designer jeans I like, so they're always too big in the waist or too tight in the thighs. I wish they'd make some nice jeans for women who work out.

    I'm having a lot of trouble finding pants and jeans that fit me now, too. I'm 5'1", and I found some Wrangler jeans for $32 regular price at Academy about a month ago in a junior's size 3 short that fit (unfortunately now they're too big, but I'm okay with that). Don't be afraid to try on junior's sizes, you might just find a good fit.

    Zara is great for grown-up clothes. H & M, Urban Outfitters, Forever 21. Consignment shops and if you have anything like a Buffalo Exchange (clothing exchange/sales, not a thrift or consignment shop), those are great for stylish and very cheap "recycled" fashions. And a good tailor shouldn't charge much for a hem job.

    I was always OK with finding a 6 - but now I"m in 0 and 2, it's impossible. My boss gave me a Macy's gift card for xmas to buy pants, he was tired of seeing mine hang on me. I found three pair, which I rotate all week. I'm 5'4" but not petite at all, I generally buy regular length shirts and pants as I'm still built with a good foundation, despite losing weight. I've considered ordering online but need to try them on. My 11 yo son's size 12 fit me, except for length are too short. My friends tease me about buying in the kids section, but I'm 40 can don't want to do so that either.

    I made my own jeans years ago and just don't have the time now, I may need to get all those old patterns back out.

    You can find tons of smaller sizes on clearance at Macy's. I got a pair of Lucky for $10 and change and some Tommy's for $14. Oh yeah, got some Levi's for $8....
    I'm a 2/4 since I lost weight (55#) and haven't had the problem you're having but I did when I was a 12/14.

    It must be the area you live in. I was at Ross and TJ Maxx last week and they had racks and racks of large sizes, but nothing in smaller sizes. It was discouraging.

    There's an outlet mall local to me. I got a great pair of Gloria Vanderbilt jeans at Kohl's for $9.99 a few months ago. You just have to wait on their special sales, usually once a month or so. Now I buy my jeans at the Vanity Fair/Lee/Wrangler outlet. I paid $4.99-9.99 per pair for the ones I wear now (Lee Riders, Chic, and Levi's). If you don't have an outlet mall near you, try J.C. Penney's website. I know they have smaller sizes and petites, sometimes on clearance. If you already have a brand & size preference, you can order them online and be assured to know you're getting some that fit.

    I took 2 pairs in for alterations..I REFUSE to give them up. She did a GREAT job. I just recently bought a few GAP jeans..They arent bad price wise..I mean I never pay full price. Ours here through facebook has 40% off every Wednesdays on full price items. and I get coupons in the mail all the time. Plus dept stores on Fridays have like 20% off coupons and I can buy Jrs when needed..can get those cheap. Plus consignment is the way to go lately. ! Everyone is out for more money and consignments (again in my area) have been booming!

    I wear a size 4 in Old Navy and they do run very large but they are usually of good quality and I've never had a problem finding size 4 or 6 there. (They also come in shorter hemlines...I'm 5'3" as well and buy the 30" ones). I like Delia's, which is a jr brand but very well done and they don't look "trendy." Those are about $40 though.

    Really? A lot of denim comes in size 28. For example, I buy my jeans at Nordstrom rack, they have a good selection. I would say size 28 is actually one of the most popular sizes. Places like Gap, Ann Taylor Loft, etc. have an abundant selection as well. Just look in the clearance! I definitely wouldn't recommend Old Navy if you want jeans that will last you so that you don't have to keep buying new pairs.

    I don't usually have a problem finding jeans.... I like Dynamite or Bluenotes ( they actually carry true sizes so you can pick your inseam)
    Does anybody find that sizes are getting bigger though.... especially shirts?! The last few times I have gone shopping I am having to buy XS or even can't buy cuz stuff's too big and I am 5'5 124lbs..... not teeny tiny..... can't sizes stay the same?! And when I was pregnant I had a really tough time with clothes once I got a belly cuz maternity store clothes were too big! What is going on? I used to wear medium shirts..... now I'm xs???? It's not me that has changed cuz my old clothes from my closet still fit!

    Have you tried Old Navy? Their sweetheart or flirt jeans fit pretty good. And they have alot of different colors.

    Also, Dillards carries a line called code blue that fits okay. Both options are $25 to $50 per pair.

    Sorry - Levis, not Wranglers.
