I've been trying to find a good brand of English riding breeches that will fit me really well. I have very skinny and long legs, with a small shape. I'm 5'5 tall, so child's sizes are usually too short on me. Size 26 always fits me around the waist, but every pair of breeches I try on are baggy in the butt and around my knee. I also need the breeches to be a good price, not too expensive. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Try Kerrits. I'm an inch shorter than you and I'm really skinny. I always get Kerrits in 25 and they fit well. Maybe try a size smaller. Ovation, Irideon, and Devon-aire are also great. If you want to splurge, Pikeur breeches are a-maz-ing. Look at Dover Saddlery or Bit of Britain.
You might also want to try on a "tall" version of a 25. Definitely go to your local tack store and try some breeches on. I used to buy all of mine online and I'd have to exchange them. You don't even have to buy them in person, just play around with styles and fits. I know it can definitely be a hassle trying breeches on.
Best of luck to you. I hope I could help.
