For everyone who is vertically challenged-where do you buy petite sized pants? I can find jeans without a problem, but whenever I am looking for casual or dressy pants they don't come in petite sizes. TIA for any suggestions!

Kohls or TJ Maxx.

I'm on the other end LOL. I usually have to buy long pants. I have problems finding dressy pants long enough.

I'm also vertically challenged (5'1" if I stand up straight), and I've ordered things from Chadwick's that I've enjoyed. But, I tend to want to buy 'in person' because I really like to try them on first. I've had great luck with petite pants from Foleys's, SteinMart, JCPenney's, and Dillards - generally, the larger department stores.

I can NEVER find anything to fit me.
I am VERY TINY!! I am 5 ft tall and I wont tell
you my weight because I have had people tell me they hate me for it!! Its so hard to find stuff to fit. I can Wear girls sizes BUT most of them
look to little girly for a 33 year old to wear.
And shoes. That is real fun when the size you wear in a dress shoe is a little girls 3!!
My DD is built the same way I am. She is like trying to dress a stick!! lol
She is 2 and 1/2 and weighs 24 pounds!!

I've had good luck at the Gap. The have small sizes and good deals. I'm also very small and it's very hard to find pants. Kohls has also worked for me.

I am 5 ft tall also . I just bought a pair of dress pants at J.C pennys.
I was looking for an outfit for Dh`s winter party for his place of employment.

I also like Lands End . Good luck fraggle.

I like to get alot of my stuff at Sears. I'm a small size, 5ft tall. TJMaxx or Marchalls always have some good deals. Its definitely not fun, I always find things bulgy on the sides like if I have triple the hip size or soemthing.

I'm very petite, tiny frame, standing at 5'1", hence the reason for my username.

I shop at old navy, marshalls, and jc penneys. Sometimes I also sneak into the girls department and buy a pair of jeans.
