Does anyone else think that its somewhat unfair that whilst there are shops out there for the bigger ladies there are none that specialises in clothes for smaller women?

Yes

With my 28" inside leg, I can only buy jeans in two places - Topshop and New Look

Me too ....so annoying!!.

[Luxray]

Same with guys! I saw an advert recently which was for bigger sized men and all I thought to myself 'where's the stuff for smaller sized men... maybe I should make a shop for smaller men'

[Luxray]

I'd just like to recommend Zara because I often find some of there stuff to be slighter smaller than usual so maybe the women's section is similar?

[Annie72]

Perhaps there is a gap in the market for us smaller folk!.

I've often thought about opening a shop that caters for people like me, just dont have the business accumen to do it.

I know! I'm somewhere in the region of 28"-30" inside leg and it's very hard to find any 30" leg trousers let alone 28". Shops also seem to be woefully understocked in small t-shirts, jumpers, etc.

Zara's good for more delicately framed men, says my ex boyfriend.

As for small girls, if you're thinking high street then urban outfitters have plenty of stuff in XS and even XXS so 6s and some 4s. French connection's alright as well.. i don't really shop high street except for basics (hnm mainly) but if i think of more ill add

edit - american apparel, (though i harbour mixed feelings)

EXACTLY!!! I'm somewhere in the region of 28 to 30 as well but even 30 legs are getting a bit difficult to find. Same goes for XS or S tops.
Life is tough for us short folk

'delicately framed men'? lovely way to pull a guys confidence down a peg or two lol

edit - out of interest other than the high street where do you shop often?

[Claire888]

I've found that Next petite jeans and jeggings are really good, they are exactly the right length for me, 5ft 4.

I was aiming to do quite the opposite actually. Personally, I admire a more subtle physique.

My clothes come from markets, second hand stores, small designer or wheeler dealer shops where I'll never spend more than 40 quid on an item, usually no more than 15-20. For the time being I'm still living in the east end, which means clothes are everywhere, a fair few of my friends sell stuff, some of it exciting like 40s vintage, most is 'retro' i.e. stuff 20 years old or so... there are several shops in soho i like, broadwick street is good.. you can get many a black puritan looking dress for twenty quid. other than that i'm not too into mothballs. second-hand wise (this includes buying stuff for a fiver from girls n boys sitting on the pavement in the sun) i like mens jumpers and big shirts and big cardigans. I don't wear jeans but have one pair of levys high waist shorts which i wear with everything.. and tank tops. or see through netty tops. lots of ripped tights, mainly because i can't be bothered to buy new ones. one pair of army boots with metal spikes i've had put in - bought that second hand as well, 25 quid, they're great.

Where do you dress? Also, is that a digimon i spy on your profile picture?

[alexsasg]

Pull and Bear are quite good if you've got a smaller build - their sizing is also on the small side (i.e. size 8 jeans = size 6 in reality)

I would recommend their jeans though, they're really good

Digimon? you have a lot to learn, it's a pokemon I wanted to be Arcanine but some other user has taken it so Luxray was the second best.

I wish I lived in London because I find living near Manchester it is still rather difficult to find affordable and nice second hand pieces. So all my wardrobe is high street.
I'd say because of my height, I shop mainly at Topman for jeans and shirts. Zara for blazers, shirts and basic tshirts. H&M for couple of basics as well and my favourite blazer is from there.
I'm saving up a bit of money for some Nudie Jeans which I'm hoping will fit me well and I'm still on the hunt for the perfect leather jacket; I really wish All Saints would make some more designs! I keep drooling over this

Jane Norman sizes are usually really small. I'm a size 6 in most shops but in there I'm comfortably a size 10.

With guys it's easier though, you can just wear something and say it's meant to be baggy - girls tend to want to show some sort of curves rather than a trapezium from their shoulders to their hips
