I'm Too Short!

[britjojo]

I hate this. I am a relatively large lady, but I have the shortest legs in the world. 26 inch inside leg. I cannot get ANYTHING to fit me. Jeans look stupid and skirts come down to my ankle.

Do you know of a petite range that might suit?

Have you tried any stores that are for petite(short) women?

I have a similar problem, and I just wear childrens clothes. I have tried the petite ranges in places like Next, but most of those are still too long in the legs and arms.

I have had some success buying clothes off ebay, but the quality of those can be rather variable. If you prefer to check clothes out before buying I'm afraid I can't help much

Petites generally are at around a 28-29 inch inside leg, so like with Etali they are still too long. I am too big for childrens ranges, so that is not an option but thanks for the thought.

I altered a few items myself, but some things just don't look right when altered for length.

I have the same problem! I can never find anything that is the right length for me. Help me too!

My only real suggestion is to have things you like altered to fit your frame better. I know it's a hassle to do, but it's probably worth the time and money, at least for a few items.
