loquita asked:


I am a 5′3″ woman who is always having to get the sleeves of clothing shortened to fit. But with technical ski wear this does not work because the sewing is so complicated that alterations would cost a ridiculous amount. I take a size Petite Medium (I can’t wear Small because my chest is too big for it.) Does anyone know of a quality manufacturer along the level of North Face or Patagonia that makes petite sizes for a ski parka and pants?

I’m 5′2 126 lbs, I’m looking to buy some clothes from Victoria’s secret should I buy from their petite section? For instance a tailored shirt….I have just never shopped in petite before.

I have a real hard time shopping for clothes since I’m a very petite girl. I’m 22 years old, 4″11″ and weights 87lbs. I have no problems finding tops but bottoms are really hard to find. I sometimes shop in the kids section but the thing about kids clothing is that the waist will rise up to my stomach. I’m small but I have an adult frame/ figure so kids clothes fit me but it fits very uncomfortably.
