@Mame,
It's gotten impossible to find a decent selection of petite sized clothing. Stores have cleared out the petites and made more room for plus sizes.
And, petite sized pants that come with a 30 inch inseam is like a bad joke.
I feel short when I can't find jackets and long sleeved blouses that don't hang down over my hands, or when I can't find pants, even in petite sizes, that don't require shortening.
