kids jeans

Does anyone know the best place to get kids jeans from? I need a pair for my dd who is 8 but small height for her age and also has a bit of a tummy.
I have a nightmare findng jeans for her because of the trend now for skinny jeans, which also seem to be hipster/low rise style,a lot of shops sell nothing but this style!:mad:
Any help is much appriciated
:hello: Hiya, I'm single mom, avid moneysaver and freecycler, sometimes :huh: but definatly :D

  • Next are great for jeans...they do all the trendy ones but they also do the 'basic' jeans which are around £6 for my little girl who is 3 so they might be a few pounds extra for an 8 year old :)

  • I agree about the 'skinny' jeans thing. My DD wont wear them and I struggled to find any reasonably price normal jeans for her this autumn. Found some great wide leg adjustable waisted ones in Asda for about £5-6 and she loves them.

    H and M ?
    Gap ?
    Primark ? (some styles are better than others)
    I despair sometimes as kids clothes seem to be made to fit very unusually shaped kids lol!

    I've given up on jean's for dd who has a belly too although is tall for her age, got her some of those nice jeans/leggings things from H&M a few sizes up of her age, they are fine, they do wrinkle a bit on the lower leg but that seems to be how "the kids" are wearing them anyway.
    Booo!!!
  • Thanks for the suggestions, Primark and h and m only had the skinny jeans and the lady in H& M directed me to the boys jeans as they may have been a better fit, dd was not impressed!
    Might try m & s online if i can return them as the selection in our local store is awful, hardly any kids stuff at all. I did get some great ones from tescos but she has grown since and again they are all the skinny type. Hard work for just a pair of jeans!

  • I have the same problem with my dd who's 3, I just bought the next size up which made the body a suitable length, the legs are a bit long but I just wrinkle up the lower leg. I also bought a couple of pairs with belts which helps to keep them up

    Next do a childrens range that is aimed at kids who have a slightly larger waist than their age group, so you dont have to buy a size up, and then find the legs are too long

    its called Plus Fit - its not available on all clothing, but there is usually a good selection of them

    check this item no: 490-512-G46 you should see what i mean
