In reply to your question about finding jeans that fit, I personally find the Marks and Spencer Per Una label very good. I am 5ft 3 and a size 16, which is quite small height wise, and I find it difficult to find jeans that are not too long. Also Per Una jeans are quite reasonably priced and they stretch and are very comfortable to wear. They have different styles and since I discovered them, I won't buy my jeans anywhere else. I always find the staff are very helpful and will bring jeans to the dressing room and let you try on several pairs/ sizes. In the past, I have told them my size and they have brought me a selection of jeans to try on. I hope this is helpful.
