I thought you were talking about Julia </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-sizing-for-skinny#post-2264342 Tue, 24 May 2022 13:54:02 +0000 anne 2264342@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cool. And I have just realised I was ambiguous too. I said my daughter was taller than 'you' , by which I meant Julia. She's about 5'3". </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-sizing-for-skinny#post-2264336 Tue, 24 May 2022 13:43:58 +0000 Angie 2264336@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, <b>Anne</b> - you are right!&nbsp; I got the numbers mixed up. Jetlag :(</p> <p>I mean that the Cotton On pants and jeans I saw last week ran small. About a size or two. The teenager I was shopping with at Cotton On is&nbsp; a US4, and she was in a US8 or US6 at Cotton On. (Not Australian sizes - I was looking at the US sizes on the labels.......at least, I thought I was!).&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-sizing-for-skinny#post-2264309 Tue, 24 May 2022 08:42:09 +0000 anne 2264309@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just checking about cotton On sizing Angie, because I am wearing a pair today that are Australian 8/US 4 and would be much too big for Julia. Do you mean Australian 4/US 0?<br /> I have a skinny teenage daughter a little taller than you who is between a 4 and 6 in Australian sizes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-sizing-for-skinny#post-2264301 Tue, 24 May 2022 06:28:52 +0000 Anonymous 2264301@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome, Julia. &nbsp;I was a little taller but at your weight well into my 30’s.<br />Try small men’s jeans. Look at Lee brand as they run smaller than Levi’s. &nbsp; The Lee fit models were very tiny, often just girls. &nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-sizing-for-skinny#post-2264039 Sun, 22 May 2022 12:45:52 +0000 Angie 2264039@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi, <b>Julia G</b>! Welcome to the forum.&nbsp;</p> <p>There is an Australian brand called Cotton On, and their sizes run very small in bottoms. Their 0's are about a US4:&nbsp;</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://cottonongroup.com.au/">https://cottonongroup.com.au/</a></p> <p>Also try American Eagle, Hollister, Abercrombie &amp; Fitch, Zara, and Macys for a pair of size 23 jeans.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-sizing-for-skinny#post-2264004 Sun, 22 May 2022 03:05:35 +0000 rachylou 2264004@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Did you try the Target boys jeans? My friend is a smidge shorter than you but same weight and she has luck sometimes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-sizing-for-skinny#post-2263995 Sun, 22 May 2022 00:07:20 +0000 Julia G. 2263995@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks so much for your reccs! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-sizing-for-skinny#post-2263992 Sat, 21 May 2022 23:46:48 +0000 kkards 2263992@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And can’t believe I forty to mention Levi’s. &nbsp;The are a little more pricing then the brand you mentioned, but if you sign up for their loyalty program you get a discount and they run promos, a lot. They have a lot of styles that are available in a 23 </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-sizing-for-skinny#post-2263990 Sat, 21 May 2022 23:36:58 +0000 kkards 2263990@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not Angie (clearly), but I am a similar build, a smidge taller and a few pounds more…also with most of my height in my legs. &nbsp;I’ve never had luck at Old Navy, but on the other hand I’ve had great luck at The&nbsp;<br />Gap. &nbsp;These are 2 recent pairs of jeans that I bought there. &nbsp;I’d also look at J Crew and Uniqlo. &nbsp;Try Topshop, which you can order Nordstroms for easy returns&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-sizing-for-skinny#post-2263989 Sat, 21 May 2022 23:25:39 +0000 Julia G. 2263989@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ever since I was little, I've always been a quite skinny yet tall build. I know some see it as "desirable," but now that I've gotten older it has been much harder to find jeans that fit. Tops fit just fine, but jeans in particular have been significantly difficult to find.<br /> The other day I went to Old Navy and Target, fully expecting lots of jeans. I tried both size 0 and 00 at both stores, but no luck. I also tried looking in the kids section. Size 12 (kids) was too big but the perfect length, and size 10 (also kids) fit but was too short. It was extremely frustrating. I do not want to look into tailoring as I can't afford it.</p> <p>For reference, I am 5'2 and about 85-90 lbs. Here are my measurements:<br />Waist: 23 in<br />Hip: 31.5 in<br />Inseam: 31 in</p> <p>Waist: 60 cm<br />Hip: 82 cm<br />Inseam: 78 cm</p> <p> If anybody has any store recommendations for my size and that have "trendy" styles, please let a girl know because I really need some help!</p> <p> </p>
