I really don't sew anymore because petite sizes are available now, but when I was in high school I sewed all my clothes. I figured I was going to have to hem store bought ones anyway so why not just make my own.

If anyone has a Talbots, they usually carry a fairly large Petites side of the store. They will even order for you and take care of the online part, your order comes to your house and can be returned to the store. This takes an extra step out of buying clothing when I find things I really like at Talbots. Macy's, Abercrombie & Fitch, Banana Republic, the Loft, all have some nice petites. A big discovery for me is that Abercrombie & Fitch has "Curve Love" pants in petites. The additional information shows extra short (22" - 26"), short (27" or so) and on up. I am in the extra short range and really like the fit of the Curve Love jeans. 😊

I agree about the good information in some brand’s reviews. I now tend to buy mostly from brands that post the most reviews and also the most detailed measurements. Really saves on returns!

Petite shopping can be an adventure....but, knowing your measurements is the key (what I hammer home to clients)!

As a petite, I really struggle finding pants. Honestly, I dont even know what my size is any more as all these pants fit so differently so I have to try everything on. That's why I stayed away from online shopping for clothes. But I think you make a good point about online shopping. I am going to give it a try. The measurements will help a lot for sure. Thanks for all the great suggestions. PS What a nice introduction you have in the video. It's awesome! Also, your pups are so cute and well behaved. Mine would have barked through the whole video and knocked down the camera, too. Lol

Struggling to find jeans/pants with inseam shorter than 30”. I am unable to wear heels now, and prefer 27-29”, to avoid hemming charges of $25 at my tailor.

As a petite, I shop online because, as you say, there are few petite sizes in the stores. Not only is that unfair, but when I have to pay delivery charges, it's a hidden tax for being short. It's discriminatory., especially when stores carry plus sizes. What do you think?

I struggle with rise. I’m 5’2” and all legs. Sometimes petite pants are too short. But if I do regular, I get that unattractive saggy crotch!
