So, I'm looking for advice. I need to get some new clothes for my petite elderly mom, who is about 5'2", and wears a size 24. Her inseem is about 25 - 26". I'm taller, so am more familiar with the non-petite plus size clothing sources. Can anyone recommend a couple of retailers of comfortable, casual, washable, durable clothes in this size? I'm looking to order online.

    Check Lane Bryant - but honestly as a petite plus for many years, I always had to hem even the stuff marked petite :( sometimes I would buy capris and they would fit like regular jeans lol

    Some of the Old Navy plus size pants come in short length.

    I am rather short 5'4" and find great clothes at www.womanwithin.com If you sign up to get e-mails you get some awesome discounts. They also have plenty of clothes on clearance.

    If you have a Talbots (women plus petite) outlet, you can find fantastic deals. I have gotten $10 jeans that look like I actually spent the $100 on them --- and work pants and tops also.

    Catherine's, which is owned by Lane Bryant. Their clothes are geared more to an older woman than Lane Bryant. They carry petites. I often shopped there for my mom, who was short.

    Landsend.com carries plus petite in a lot of their women's pants. Knit pants come prehemmed and twill or khaki styles are hemmed free.

    JC Penneys, Dress Barn and if you feel like spending real money, Nordstrom's and Bloomingdales.
