Best jeans for petites?

[Anonymous]

I'm a size 4 or so (depends on mftr) and 5'3"- I just bought gap jeans online and i don't know how their inseam can be so long but it's 31"- the levis fit better for petites bt I think I want to avoid low risers- i think mid rise- I'm curvy but just don't look good in anything (though so far those jeans do look good)..

Any brands that fit well and are flattering for petite women? somewhat fashionable?

thanks!

OP here- i think i want mid rise since i still have post preggo tummy (though not as bad as earlier on) - so tight low rise look ok ubti feel that tummy bulge.. at least half of it could be squished in the pants- lol..

I'm 5'2 and curvy (larger than a size 4), and I really like the Loft curvy fit jeans. A lot of petite lengths (I'm looking at you, LL Bean) are too short, and the Loft ones are just enough longer that they are perfect for me. I think they're flattering, and also they are mid-rise and good for the post preggo tummy.

Any input as to flare bottom (but not exagerated) or boot cut as to helping with leaner/taller look?

I like 'seven' jeans in a 'short' size? They have stretch, and make my dumpy butt look decent

Some of the "higher end" brands are making petites. Bloomingdales in Chevy Chase had a section of them.

I'm 5'1' and a size 2 in jeans and found the DKNY soho a wonderful fit, tight at first but once they stretch, glorious, and the length is a bit long for me but I don't mind so it might work for you.

The express mid-rise jeans also work for me.

Another vote for Ann Taylor Loft curve jeans -- I'm 5'1" and a curvy size 4 and they almost always work. They are $60 not on sale, but it seems you can get them for half price a fair amount of time if you follow the sales.

Caslon (Nordstrom brand) also has a good fit for me. I buy them super-cheap at the Nordstrom rack.

DKNY also has a good fit, but I almost always need to have them hemmed.

Bloomingdale's is carrying Jag petite jeans and cords, which are also available at Nordstrom and Catch Can. They're great.
