Janie Grace Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 My dd13 is very slender but recently had a growth spurt -- her arms and legs are suddenly much longer! Her 12 slim jeans are too short. Problem is, 14 slim jeans are way too big around the waist/hips (she is very narrow through the waist/hips). Any suggestions of brands that accommodate this kind of shape? I was built the exact same way; she's going to be late bloomer like I was, much to her chagrin. Okay, moms of skinny minnies -- tell me where to start looking.

Mandy in TN Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Justice carries a stretch denim, skinny jean in slim. They should work. I bought them last year for my skinny, minnie niece. HTH- Mandy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lily_Grace Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Try a size 0 in Aeropostale or American Eagle. They're tiny but you can get them in different lengths, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tammyw Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 My dd is only 9, but has the same problem. We finally found jeans that fit her at Justice - specifically their skinny/slim jeans. Maybe pop into a store and take a look.

Janie Grace Posted August 9, 2012 Author Share Posted August 9, 2012 Thanks, ladies! She used to like Justice a lot but has sort of outgrown the "sparkly" stuff. Maybe they have plain jeans too. I'll check it out! I'll check out Aeropostale, too. I actually buy *my* jeans there. I thought they run big (I'm a 1/2 there, which cannot possibly be right... I think I'm more like a 4), but maybe a 0 in a "skinny" style would work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justasque Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Try a size 0 in Aeropostale or American Eagle. They're tiny but you can get them in different lengths, too. They make 00 too, which is even smaller. Take a look at the size charts at several of these teen/tween stores. I was amazed at the dramatic differences in inseam length for the same waist size - it varied as much as 4" between stores. The down side is that your days of adjustable elastic waists might be over... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LNC Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 My daughter is 5'7" but tiny for 13... She gets her 0s at Old Navy. They have a variety of styles. We don't wear "skinny" jeans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm about 95lbs and wear a 2 comfortably loose there, though could wear a 1 without issues. My Aeropostales fits about the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
