Slim Pants for Pre-teen Girl
I am looking for slim cut pants for girls, specifically an 11 year old. I am looking for all styles - jeans, leggings and yoga pants. Can anyone suggest slim brands? Thank you!

We struggled mightily with finding pants that would fit my very slim, tall daughter. I finally found Tractr jeans at Nordstrom that fit really well. They aren't cheap but you can frequently find them at Nordstrom Rack as well. Now that she's tall enough to fit Junior sizes, we've found pants at Kohls and H&M that are slim enough. I would love to hear other suggestions as well!
You might to try Uniqlo. My daughter worked at the Emeryville Uniqlo when it first opened. Not a pre-teen, of course, but she is very slender. 5"3 and 100 lbs. She found jeans that fit her well. She usually wears xs or small or size 0.
The only place I am consistently able to find slim cut pants for my son is Old Navy online - old navy.com
Land's End carries girl's slim usually up to a size 12, and sometimes up to a size 16.
Have you tried gap? They have slim sizes of many jeans (different than slim cut). Online is the best selection.
Another shout out for Old Navy and Gap girls slim sizes (not slim cut). Justice also worked well for my daughter during the tween years. As your daughter gets a little older, mine is now 15, Hollister may work well with for slim fit and teenage style with reasonable quality and cost. All of these stores run frequent promotions to help keep already reasonable costs even more affordable.
They are expensive, but Joe's Jeans are the ticket. They are carried in lots of department stores, but if you go to one of their own stores, the selection is huge.
Because of the expense, she could try them on, write down the size/fit she likes, and you could scour the internet for a better deal for the same jeans. They are all about "skinny jeans."

Gap slim and Old Navy slim cut. She will have to try them on in the store to be sure. I assume you are having pushback from adjustable waists! ;-)
Many brands carry extended sizes online though less often in stores. For both our tall and slim daughter and son we have had success with American Eagle, Gap, Old Navy, Levi's, JCrew - all the big brands - just online instead of stores.
