    weel, if you find some that fit on the waist, but are too long, its probably better to get them altered. As i think it'll be hard to find the length you want, as even short length is about 28/29"

    Welcome to the world of being vertically challenged. Very few shops sell jeans shorter than a 32" leg FCUK do 30" but finding them is sometimes a bit hit and miss. Other places either sell out very quick or don't stock them, when you ask for them they always turn round and say they have sold out but I don't beleive they actually sell them.
    Standard lenghts in the uk are short 30", regular 32", long is 34"

    You may find Levis are a little more acomodateing especially the levis shops like in the trafford centre where all they sell are levi jeans they should have a full range available.

    My fave place to go shopping is the US, you can buy any style in any combination of waste and length. the only problem is having to buy a new bag everytime to bring all the new stuff home.

    H&M is worth a try, but whenever i shop for my boys jeans, they are really baggy. i have seen lots of kids girls skinny jeans tho.

    i think the boy/girl jeans button different ways.

    or maybe try the Designers at Debenhams range

    My son and I have the opposite problem with 36 and 38+ inside legs and it's a nightmare to find trousers to fit us full stop!

    Anyway enough of my gripe, but just a thought, I have a male friend with a 29 inside leg who swears by Tesco value jeans as they seem to be short enough for him so worth a look and they are not particularly flary so to speak.

    Another option is forget looking at full length jeans just now and start looking at the many choices of 3/4 length trousers which are on the go for the summer. You might just find a pair of those for the longer legged person are the perfect fit for you full length, especially if they have the turn ups.

    I do this the opposite way round i.e. I use 29 inch inside leg / short / regular leg inside trousers for the cropped look as the normal cropped look is just too short for me so might be worth a try.

    Oh and if you have a TK Max near you, they have a multitude of choice when it comes to jeans, their sizes and lengths so it's well worth a look in there too if you have one within travelling distance.

    Oh and one last suggestion - do you have a Slaters near you, they do a great selection of trousers from short to tall at very reasonable prices and will alter them for you in the price. I found I can get my son school trousers from there for £22 altered and they do up to a 42 inside leg which is heaven to me for my sons (I have 3 sons and only one has normal sized legs other two take after mummy)

    Good luck.
