petite pants


Question Posted Thursday March 18 2010, 8:50 am

Hey

I'm a short female. I'm 20 years old, 5 feet even... and I'm not going to be growing any more.

I have a lot of trouble finding pants that fit me. I work in a place that doesn't allow blue jeans to be worn... which wouldn't be such a big deal if I could actually find the right kind of pants that fit me. They don't have to be fancy or anything. They can be black jeans, khakis of any color... I'd prefer casual, petite pants of some sort.

Anyways, I've asked this question before on advicenators.. but I didn't exactly get any responses that helped. (I appreciate the attempt though)
I need to find petite pants, but the websites people have sent me were ones that were at least 100 dollars for each pair of pants..... because usually they had to be custom designed, or they were designer pants, which is not exactly what I'm looking for. I want very cheap pants. Probably 30 dollars the absolute limit.

I need petite pants/jeans. I looked everywhere in stores, no one has what I want, and if they have petite it is NEVER in my size. I'm a size 3 around the waist, but whenever I try to buy pants online, it always skips size 3 and goes from a 2 straight to a 4... what does that mean? What would be the next size for me if I'm a size 3?

Please help! I'm getting sick of wearing the same pants over and over again because nothing else will fit. It's honestly extremely frustrating!

Please send good websites or names of stores. But I've tried so many places, I'm beginning to get discouraged.

Thanks so much.

The smallest shoe and clothing sizes go first off the rack, and they order the least of them. Also, they are the ones on display, almost always. So if you go to a mall store, ask to see the size on the display model. It may be yours. Most department stores will have a full petite department, so you will be looking for the clearance racks for khakis and such.

Finally, being 4'11 3/4, almost 5 foot!!! I can tell you with confidence that you should think seriously about these 2 ideas:

1) You can buy "liquid stitch" and easily shorten any well fitting pair of pants without hemming traditionally. $3.97 at Walmart in sewing section (handing on shelf wall in packaging, its a tube)

2) Capri pants are often sized for tall women, so especially in the summer time, my family's women all wear Capris, they are full length on us.

Please rate!

Thanks and good luck!
