I don't know if anyone has brought this up yet, I only checked the posts up to the bottom of the page: is there a decent store or catalogue or clothing line that makes clothes (preferably pants-- preferably somewhat 'stylish') for shorter women? I'm a lil bit over 5'2 and have always had trouble finding pants that fit right. Even those labeled petite have usually come with a few inches of unneeded length so I've always had to 1.) fold them up, 2.) cut them off or 3.) just bunch them up and usually end up walking on them and shredding them and having to cut them off anyways (meh...)

Because of this I've stuck mostly to skirts and shorts and stay away from most capris as they look like I'm wearing high waters,... even some dresses have more length than they should and hang at my knees instead of mid-thigh... neutral Admittedly I've never had very many options for clothes shopping without having to drive a couple hours out of the way, so I don't even know what I might be missing.

It would be nice to own a pair of pants that fit and weren't too expensive (^^;; hehe I am a cheapskate,--although at this point I might just invest a good amount of dough for some pants that fit well and were well made and I liked. *sigh* why can't real life shopping be as simple as dressing your avi? everything fits emo )

It's tough I know. Clothes shopping is never as good as it should. Damn sizes...
But you can always tailor the clothes right? Make them cut them and do a hem etc..

But some brands do have petite lines. Here are a few links that might help you.

Good luck!
