I feel the writer of this week's question. I love my Levi's ribcage jeans, but.................... with the 99% cotton and 1% stretch, it sometimes feels/looks like I am wearing blue cotton pants! ;)

I am excited to look into the label mentioned as well; 5'4 club member over here. So, thanks for that!

I love this! As a short and curvy person, jeans are always a challenge. Will have to try out this new brand!

Madeleine really gets it right. If you like stretch, the Emily and Léa jeans are for you. Non-stretch, go with the Claire I'm wearing.

Another great newsletter :) Thrilled to add Nelle Atelier to my repertoire - 5'3 and very much NOT a size 25, it's wonderful to find new petite labels. I love my Madewell jeans ( particularly the Boy Cropped) and I find they do petite sizing really well. Do you remember the (now defunct) jeans label McGuire? Their jeans, though not specifically designed for petites, fit petite heights beautifully (I have several of their pairs that I love). Absolutely I need stretch in my jeans - as a mum of 3 under 7 (who again, is not a size 25!), I need as much freedom of movement in my clothing as possible! Can't wait for the next newsletter xx
