DD is simply a late bloomer whose body size is completely in keeping with familial history. I am SO tired of the criticism of women and girls bodies!!!!! Wer're either anorexic or fat and if we somehoow fall into the sweet spot between the two, then are boobs aren't big enough or our butt is too big.
OP didn't ask for anyone's advice about whether her DD's size was healthy - she simply asked about jean brands that fit.
We found old navy, aeropostale, and Hollister to work at different stages. Stick with super skinny and/or jegging styles made out of denim (for more of a "jean" look) since they are usually cut much slimmer. look for size 000 or size 24. We also found a few pairs of leggings or knit pants with thicker material at Nordstrom's that DD liked.
If you can't find anything, consider taking the closest fit to the drycleaner seamstress and have her take a few pairs in.
Good luck. It's very demoralizing when slow developing girls are old enough to have HS tastes but are still shopping in the kids department where pink and purple cuteness is inescapable.
I was the one who brought it up. Note that I didn't mention that her daughter was anorexic, nor did I criticize the mere fact that she was so thin. It just struck me as dangerously thin given the BMI, even if she hasn't started puberty yet. I was thin and a late bloomer too, so I'm not saying that it's bad, but if you're extremely skinny it could artificially delay puberty. Doesn't have to be caused by an eating disorder either - the girl could simply not be eating enough to catch up with her growing body, or could have food allergies, crohn's, etc.
