Some years ago Marla Wynne  said offering petites was so expensive to manufacture that she had one length in a crop length for everyone to wear. I dont recall the inseam .

 

I used to wear regular 29 inch but now prefer 27". I have bought talls in a crop for 27" if I wanted a pair that was sold out of my size.  I used to be 5' 5" but now am 5 '3 1/2". I have more flexibility that a real.petite height and proportion. Brands do vary on length. 

 

I hate p.js. that are too long and.no options for petite. I can easily.shorten my hems as do use a sewing machine so o.k.

Inseam 25 to 26. At 25 was perfect with most shoes.
4'11" I think is considered petite?

I thought Appleseeds went out of business.  I just Googled it, and Chadwick Petite and Amazon came up.
