Hi ! I am looking to help my tall friend purchase black jeans. Her hips normal but she has a very very small waist. Any ideas? Help? Thanks Hornsby advise!

She should buy jeans to fit her hips (and leg length) and then go to a tailor and get the waist taken in -- it's not a difficult alteration, and well worth it to have a waistband that fits.

I agree with Wonderer. But if she hasn't bought jeans in a while, she may be surprised how well stretch jeans can now fit. Old Navy Rockstars, for example.
