I Need Clothes!
Does anyone know where i can buy a Petite stretch pant in a short?
Does that make sense?
I need a Petite Short for slacks. I can find Petite's, but I always have to take them somewhere to get them hemmed because i am so short. I bought a pair of black stretch pants for business casual wear and they were a petite short, fit perfect! I went back to the same store, and tried on a petite Large, and they were too long.
I am just tired of buying slacks and then taking them somewhere to get hemmed. So i need a Petite Short. I have tried looking at Kohls' but no luck. Please help!

Kohl's is the best place for Petites they have their own section I know mine is next to the Maternity section that is what I have to buy anything else just won't fit me too long,Old Navy,JC Penny's,Sears,Gap,Gordmans
I have to often ask where is the Petite section some are included in the other sizes you just have to look on the tags it'll say short or P for petite L for long A for average

Gap
New York and Company
Kohls Croft and Barrow brand (I just bought some last month)
Are some of the places I find Petite short.
Also, try the major department stores in your area. You may pay a little more, but since you will not have the hemming expense it works out to be about the same.
Ask the sales clerks - I've found they can usually point me in the right direction.
It does get to be expensive to have things hemmed. And I can't wear 5 inch heels to make the pants the right length. LOL
Happy Shopping.

I don't know if you have a burlington coat factory around you or not, but I have found lots of petite clothes there including pants. Hope this helps.

Try Old Navy. They sell a lot of things in "short." Good luck.

Try Land's End and LL Bean. I believe both carry what you are looking for and even though you have to do mail order, I think they both have free returns.

Macy's they have a pretty large Petite section that also has short sizes.

I have the same problem. I always have to cut about three inches off my pants and hem them, no matter where I shop. The only advice I might have would be to try Lands' End pants where you can have them specifically hemmed at whatever length you need.
I've just become very adept at hemming, though it would be nice to just buy pants off the rack and be able to wear them right away. As my aunt reminds me, it's a lot easier to take off a few inches rather than try to put them on!
