Quacker Factory

I think Quacker Factory is missing the boat with no PETITE sizes. The pants are way too long in the rise . The waist band ends up just below my bra. The short size does nothing to address this issue. Too bad.

I totally agree. They probably are a great fit for some women, otherwise they would not keep making them. I would need a petite however.

Today, Angel said they did not have petites "yet."

Sounded like they are in the making.

Jeanne always said she wasn't petite.

@etooch This has been a complaint by many petites for a long time. Somebody, probably Jeanne's brother, stubbornly refuses to make petite sizes. The solution: Buy pants from another source. For good measure, boycott the whole line; that's what I've been doing.

@ValuSkr Yes, and I've always wondered what that has to do with the rest of us who are more evenly proportioned.

I'm 5'5 not short, but, not ready to walk down the runway either.

Mon. I was at that store that starts with a 'D' and they had navy blue winter wgt slacks in petite that fit to a T. Got the 12 short. I was so happy not to have to go home and take a hem. I love the pull on stretch slacks.

The fault is not with Quacker Factory. QVC decides what to buy sizes, colors etc so if you have a problem take it up with them. The short fits me perfectly.

I agree on the petite - I am just 5 foot and wear a XL or 1X depending and the length of the dresses are way too long. When you are short - only at the knee or barely above works - otherwise what a dumpy look you have! Same holds true to pants - an inseam availability of 26 or 27 inches would be appreciated.

Love the maxi dresses with sequined fronts but need more than XL Shrugs to match.

Jeanne Bice, and Angel still, said that sizes are 'short' not petite. That's not accurate...short is a length....petite is a proportion. That's one reason QF has waistbands that are so high...petites usually need a shorter rise, not just a shorter hem.

And I have the opposite problem. All the tops are so short for us tall people that it's almost embarrassing to go out in public. The other day I actually heard the host say that they had a ''tunic'' length on previously....I spent too much time actually looking for it to no avail. So this is directed toward QVC and to no-one on this blog, just wanted to give my preference. We all have them.

Please offer Petite bottoms! I'm 5'2" & am a true short waisted "PETITE." I love the Dream Jean fabric bec so very comfy. BUT I have to roll down the waist band on my QF bottoms bec the rise is way too high (almost up to my bra strap)!

Please-PLEASE offer dream jean bottoms in true "petites"!

I can wear short or petite depending upon the style of the pants. I never buy a petite top. However there are catalogues out there that have something called SHORT PETITE. I guess there is something for everyone if you look hard enough. In my case my closet is full and I am not into buying much more until I wear out my collection.

Because the designer or owner of a company says she is for instance, tall, does that mean she doesn't want to offer regular or short? Quacker Factory has been with the Q forever and making money forever. The Petite option should be there.

Nobody cares if they want to offer "short", also.

People who are taller can wear petites too. People who have short legs and long torsos. I like wearing petites, regular sizes are too long.

I bought a pair of their Dream Jeannes in short. I'm 5'4" and l05 lbs. I could pull the waist up to the bottom of my bra. The short models they show once in a while, always has a hanging crotch.

Angel should stop telling that story of the "short" instead of Petite. Shame on Quacker for not offering Petite's.

So glad I'm not the only one who is petite at 4'10". I love the pants that Angel shows but cannot buy them. Just got two shirts that I love and want pants!!!! Please help us shorties and do petites. Thank you.

I'd go over to the teenager Junior side of the stores

Clothes are usually prettier over there I've noticed

I'm 5'4" and have a long torso and short legs. All the of the QF dream jeans I have are WAY to long in the rise. They go up to my bra. I figured they must be for people with huge stomachs.
