Can anyone recommend a store where my daughter can find Jeans in a size 0 - Short. It is sooo frustrating to take my daughter shopping for Jeans. She is 16 years old and very small. We are having a problem finding a store that carries Jeans for a tiny person. Can anyone please give us some suggestions.
Have you tried eBay? I know you wouldn't be able to try them on, but if she has a pair now that she really loves, maybe you could find duplicates there.
Have you tried express or nordtstom. they carry small sizes and petites. Stick to the junior section of dept stores, where the sizes tend to run small.
I would go ahead and buy the ones that are too long and have them hemmed. It can be done in a way that you can not tell that it has been hemmed. They remove the bottom hem, shorten the jeans and then reattach the original hem.
I would say the jrs section of most department stores carry smaller sizes. I know that Abercrombie and Fitch carries a 0 short and so does Hollister. I would try those (they would be cheaper on ebay!). If all else fails try a 14 slim in the girls section.
WEBERS JEANS, in Lockport,IL. It is the most awesome place. Their service is personable, and they hem them right there for a dollar. It is the only place that me and my daughter buy our jeans. They have every kind of style, cut, and size that you can ever imagine.
Plato's closet is a GREAT place to get name brand jeans at affordable prices (even if you have to get them hemmed!) Every Plato is a little different. It is a resale shop. You have to go in there with the mentality that you'll be there for a while because there are A LOT of jeans - many expensive brands. They are organized nicely too! We occasionally go to the one in Orland Park but I see they have a couple locations closer to you in Downers Grove and Bloomingdale. They do have some new items. They have more items for females but they do have male selections too.

Abercrombie and Hollister carry smaller sizes too. You will also find these brands at Plato's Closet.
Good luck.
Good luck.
I'm very tiny and Express is where I get my jeans! Also Hollister and Aberbcrombie carry size 0. I buy size 0 short at Express.
Is 5-7-9 still around? They used to carry size 0 as well.
Sometimes I buy size 14 kids jeans. It's funny being an adult buying kids jeans or shoes, but sometimes it's cheaper!
I don't suffer from this particular problem :) but Ann Taylor loft seemes to have a fairly large petites section. They are not too pricey for jeans.
There's a place in Geneva called The Denim Loft that specializes in all things jeans and carries every size. Name brands included. They have a web site you can order from, but I would recommend you go there in person as the store offers even more things. Also, there are a couple of sellers on Ebay that have very high ratings who sell jeans of all sizes and again name brands. I have purchased a few things from them and been very satisfied. They have good return policies an very fair prices. All their items are brand new with the tags. If you are interested in them just let me know and I'll look up their Ebay ID for you. (no affiliation of course, just a satisfied customer). There are two other stores I know about both are boutiques and carry the better brands. One is in Ottawa, called Lady Di's and the other is in Oswego called Jacqueline Dresses/American Male. Lovely stores both of them and both offer alterations. Hope this info is helpful, good luck!

I am pretty short, and at one point in my life I got very tiny also. (no one would believe it now, haha) Anyway, nowadays there are so many cute comparable little girl racks I think she could get some stylish and well fitting jeans (if she's not insulted). That's what used to do. It's just luck a lot of times anyway. I've seen the racks at Target when things are on sale and most of the time those are the sizes that don't get sold very often. So try there, too.
If the pants fit everywhere except the length, have them tailored. Many tailors and seamstresses hem pants and jeans for petite people. I have done this myself for a friend who is 4'10".
dear debbie, have you tried the stores Express or New York and company? depending on where you live, i know that both of those stores are at the westfield shopping center in hobart. also other stores in the mall that carry little sizes would be Delia's and i know that Old Navy has a wide variety of sizes. before i had my 2 kids i used to be a 5/6 short petite, and i worked and these were the only places i could find my jeans, they are a little pricey, though.
well i hope that my advice helps, good luck!!!!!!!!
My daughter is a size 0, but wears regular length. We have had the best luck at Carson Pirie Scott and Aeropostale. I'm not sure what price point you are looking for, but I'm usually able to walk out the door somewhere between $15-$30 a pair.
I agree with having the jeans hemmed. I have had it done for my daughter and I think it costs me about $12. Well worth it!
My 16 year old daughter is also very tiny, size 0. We have had good luck at Hollister and Pacsun. I'm not sure if either store has short lengths, but the style now seems to be to have your jeans dragging the ground! My daughter is only 5'5" and the flare type jeans at Pacsun, the long length, she thought were too short. So, those may work for your daughter in their regular lenth. My daughter was able to wear the straight leg jeans from Pacsun in a long length. At Hollister she gets the flare in regular length and they are long on her (in style.) You may have to find a good seamstress that could shorten them for you.
I feel for you. We used to get size 16 slim from Limited too and Old Navy. They fit her perfect. Then they stopped making that size! We searched high and low to find jeans to fit. Each store is different, and some of the styles show their butt when they sit down! I remember one store the jeans were over $80 and so low! No way was I paying that for jeans to show off way too much! It's really frustrating when your daughter tries 0 and they are too big! Some stores have 00. I can't remember which ones. I just know the jeans my daughter is wearing now are from Paksun and Hollister. Good luck!
I've read through some of your other responses and I noticed a lot of them are advising Holister and things like that. If you want affordable, I shop at T.J. Max for Mudd jeans. (I'm 5'1" and 100 lbs...And 28 I know what your daughter is going through.) The Mudd jeans run about $20 per pair and if you go in at the right time you can sometimes get them as little as $5 a pair. Good luck!
Old navy is usually pretty good (check out the clearance rack, there are often good deals there.....also Discovery Clothing....usually has the smaller sizes (and their stuff runs small) with good prices. We sometimes find stuff at Deb clothing stores as well.....my daughter in law is only 4'9" and weighs a mere 85lbs but has a curvy figure so kid clothes are out of the question for fit...all 2 stores have plenty of choices for a teenager as far as style is concerned....Happy shopping!
Aeropostale has all their pants in Short, regular and long. My daughter is small too and she loves their pants because they are not as low cut on your hips as Holister or other stores. I think their prices are very reasonable too.
My 14 year old daughter is also very tiny and she gets her jeans (00-short) at Delia's. They carry both short and petite lengths. They have several different cuts available, which helps in getting a good fit. The downside is that they're a bit pricey.
PacSun also carries 0-short. What I don't like about their jeans is the extremely low rise. My daughter really wants them, but mean mom says "no".
try Kohl's. The have a big selection of juniors jeans in many styles and prices. I know because I work there and I supervise in the apparel area. Also, if you aren't near a store or if they don't have your size, try kohls.com, the often offer free shipping and you can always return anything bought on line at the store. Good luck!
I have the same problem. I'm 32, 5 1 1/2 and need a size 2. I can never find jeans. I recently found jeans that came in a short at Walmart. I know not the place your daughter probably wants to shop but I'll take whatever I can get. I don't care what the brand name is. Have you tried Marshalls, Burlington Coat Factory or TJ Max? I have found a few pairs there that come in a short. With those store it's hit or miss though. Another more expensive option would be Calvin Klein. You can purchase the jeans by size and length so that you can get the perfect length. (Kinda like mens jeans.) I haven't looked at their jeans but have found some decently priced items at Delia's, not sure if they have pants in a short though. JCPenny's also has short jeans and kakhi pants. I've heard that Express has them but their jeans are $50. I hope this helps!
