Could anyone give me some advice on where to buy very petite size clothing?

I am 4’ 9” and wear a size 0, I have always found it hard to find clothing that are my size and I usually just shop in the kids sections of stores. I was wanting to know if anyone out there has the same problems and where do you shop for your clothes. I want casual clothing, such as jeans, jackets and tops that are form fitting and flattering. Thanks for the help.
Thanks for your advice, but I have shopped these stores and it I always have to have these clothes tailored. I spend $100’s of dollars a year to my tailor. That is the delima that I was trying to avoid.

    Macys has a good petite section and so does the Gap

    Look in the Jr. department for casual styles in smaller, fitted sizes. Dillard’s used to have a really good petites dept, but I’ve read that lots of dept stores are scaling back on their petites, so complain!

    you are almost exactly like me. but im a 00 and im 4′11- 5 foot-ish lol. i know how you feel i was like that too. then i found wet seal they have the best veriety of petite sized clothing for pants. i think that macys has the best selection for tee-shirts and wet seal has a good selection for shirts here is a link for wet seal and macys

    My Daughter had the same problem! Try Limited too and Anchor Blue. I have looked at a store called Seal (I think that is the name) but they were really expensive. Have you checked Rave?
    Good Luck!

    The kids clothing section at Gap, Old Navy etc, is a good choice. They always have the cutest pullovers, tshirts and sweaters.
