Short (5'0-5'3) girls -- where do you shop?

forkofpower · October 2014

5'1 girl here. I have such a hard time shopping! Even S shirts can be too long, and petite pants have to be rolled up. I bought a pair of ankle jeans from a store and they were STILL too long for me.

Where's a good place for a very petite individual to find fitting clothes?

The Buckle for jeans, The Limited for my work pants, Express for tops, Target, TJ Maxx, Marshalls, Old Navy, The Gap, and a lot of other places. I just have a tailor I go to for my pants. I'm 5'3" and don't really have a hard time shopping.

Express, loft, banana republic, kohls...
I am 5 feet even and I tend to buy pants that are "short" even then I can usually wear with heels. I get things altered, too.

Ross, Target, Burlington Coat Factory... places that don't cost a lot. I'm 5'3".

5' even here. Found some Jeans at Old Navy. Express is good and usually do pretty well in the petite section at J.C. Penney

I am 5'3 and have never had any issue fining clothes. I hem my jeans/pants, but even if I couldn't sew -- my local tailor is 7-10 dollars per pair with a discount on 5+ pairs.

aeropostle for jeans, I get them in the short size. Hem tape has become my new best friend for pants that need to be shortened quickly. I'm 5', but my legs are too long for petite sizes, but too short for regular sizes, so usually pants that are regular size but the "short" length works well. Old Navy petite shirts work well for me.

I am a shade under 5'3" and wear a size 00 petite. I do much of my shopping at Banana Republic/Gap/Old Navy (Banana carries petites in most stores and the others have petites online). I also frequently shop at Ann Taylor and Loft. For jeans, I find stores that cater to a younger crowd, like American Eagle and Abercrombie & Fitch (which carry "short" lengths) fit me well...although some of their other clothes are a bit too "junior" for me (I am 45). For certain items (like basic leggings and tees) I sometimes sneak over to the girls' department (the advantage of being the size of a 12-year-old).
