Petite sizes rant!

[Erin]

I have always struggled getting clothes especially trousers to fir me!being only 5ft my legs aren't exactly long legs!
Top shop and Dorothy Perkins have a petite section but they are too petite so i used to get all my clothes from next,but they have changed there sizes and now their jeans are too long i brought a new pair last week and they are ruined all ready!
I have resulted in having to wear my sisters age 14/15 jeans.
can any of you short people out there recommend any shops with good petite sections in pleassssseeeeee,im quickly running out of clothes to wear.

Don't know of petite sizes Erin, but I have a similar problem, am 5ft 8, need 32 lenght, but ladies jeans are far too wide in the legs for me, so I now wear girls size 10 bootleg...fit me fine...

I am 5ft 2 and always have to have my trousers taken up - tis so annoying cos I am sure they lose something in the alteration. Never look the same after.

Got some jeans at the weekend that were 3/4 length style but normal length on me tho!!! Not sure whether to leave them as normal length or make them fit me as 3/4 length!!!

your right they never look the same after they have been altered!

its so frustrating, i cant get a pair of 3 quarters from anywhere that fits me!

i have the added struggle of trying to get size 6,which is why im gutted next have changed all their sizez because top shop rarely have size 6's in.
good excuse to start shopping at monsoon and river island though,even if it does brake the bank a little

I wouldn't be moaning if I was wearing age 14/15 jeans Erin.

Petit....not my thing these days.... but if you ask me in a year or 2 - I may be petit then.......

lol smudgley,not really moaning,its just you get more choice in the ladies sizes, that and the only real place i can go and buy teenagers clothes in kiddy is new look and even then i still struggle with the length maybe i should have that stretching thing done
