Rebecca VA Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 How much shorter would a Petite size be than a Regular size? I'm 5'5". Would the jacket fit me, or would the sleeves be too short? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter's Moon Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 How much shorter would a Petite size be than a Regular size? I'm 5'5". Would the jacket fit me, or would the sleeves be too short? I believe petite sizes are generally made for those who are 5'3" and under. I am barely 5'4" and petites are usually a bit short on me.

snickelfritz Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 It depends on your proportions. I am 5'5". I have a long waist, but shorter arms and legs. Sometimes, I wear petites (pants and/or tops). It depends on the style of the item and whether it's already short-waisted. Sometimes, I have to bite the bullet and just get the regular item hemmed because the petite is slightly too short. Long-winded way to say..."Do you have the measurements of the item, to check?"

Rebecca VA Posted January 5, 2012 Author Share Posted January 5, 2012 Yeah, this probably won't work for me. I'm short-waisted (meaning I look best in longer length tops) and long-limbed. Oh, well. Maybe a regular length will come available. Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
