[quote=Anonymous]I thought the cut off for petite is 5'4" - I am 5'4" and a half, so often wear petites. I almost always wear petite pants (the only exception is ankle pants- i buy them in regular sizes and they are the perfect length, go figure. As others have said, often they are proportionally smaller - the rise of pants, higher armholes, etc. There are some brands though where if I wear an 8 in regular sizes, I wear and 8 in petites, and other brands where if I wear 8R, then I need a 10P. Talbots over the past year has resized and for sure their petites are a size smaller. Ann Taylor though is not, generally. LOFT is hit or miss, sometimes yes sometimes no. Banana I've found the same size, generally for both petite and regular. I also find great luck with "short" lengths - Old Navy, Gap. I'm a huge fan of petite sizing- I haven't hemmed pants in a decade! - but you really do need to try on and figure out what works. [/quote]
