I'm exactly the same height as you and fluctuate between an 8 and a 10 in size. I have quite a bit trouble finding suitable jeans, in fact the only place I can really rely on is River Island where the jeans are around £40 - there is a sale on now though. Don't laugh but the other jeans that fit me well are Tammy at BHS!0

My jeans are size 8-10, but I am a 27" inside leg. I usually look wherever there are any "age 13" jeans .... although 90% of the time they have Barbie/similar detailing

I do have some that were brill ... but they were hand me downs when my mate was going to send them to the charity shop. I have no idea which shop they come from, but they are size 8 Trader Jeans, if anybody knows where they're to be found (it'd be handy if they did as I really love those and now they're on their last legs as they were donated to me about 4-5 years ago and I wore them virtually every day).
Oh .. just remembered, I was in Bon Marche the other week and they do short leg jeans ... but they do seem to be large sizes (especially round the 4rse), which I'm not.0 -
I always manage to get decent jeans from Dorothy Perkins petite range. I also have some great fitting jeans from next - also petite range - and they were only £18 each (bought two pairs) - they were dark skinny jeans.
In the past I have got jeans from New Look kids range - I am a size 6/8 and so fit nicely into age 12 jeans, but for the reasons PasturesNew mentioned I find it hard to get adult looking kids jeans.0 -
Thankyou everybody for your replies. I will shop around as i have this week off. I find jeans so hard to find. My middle has expanded lol and although the jeans i have fit lovely round the bum, right leg length and shape i now have a muffin top and doing the zip up is a no no as they hurt when i sit down. Normally if i see a pair ile buy a couple but i want skinny fit for the winter so i can tuck them in my boots, boot cut for outside. Anyhoo thanx and ile be off shopping this week. Wish me luck x0

M & S have some great jeans in their Per Una and Autograph Weekend ranges. They have a variety of leg lengths too. They're not uber trendy but they're well made and not Barbie-like!0

Ile try Dorothy Perkins as the one pair i have that dont fit were from there. Ive looked at M&S and didnt like the style as i wanted quite trendy ones. Jane Norman are a tad too skimpy with there material, Ile also try New Look although there jeans fade quite a bit0

Try giving Primark a go, I love they're jeans more than designer ones, dd is petite and gets loads of jeans from there:)Thank you for this site MartinThe time for change has comeGood luck for the future0

Well i had a great day shopping yesterday and mananged to get everything on my list. I went to Dorothy Perkins and got the two pairs of dark jeans, one skinny and one bootcut 2 for £25 and they fit perfectly. In the Debenham sale i got a pair of White jeans for £10 and a pair of slighty faded blue jeans for £7. I didnt expect to get them soo cheap. As well as that a got a good pair of leggings for £4 in next, along with a set of bra and knickers for £6. I may go back into town and have another look. I havnt been for ages and there are sooo many bargains. Didnt realsie New Look stopped doing underwear in mine, now ile have to find somewhere else to get that from as i always got mine from there.0
