My daughter is only 4"11. She wears regular pant sizes. She has a long rise and long legs for such a small person. Her arms are not as short as mine either.
Not all short people can wear petite sized clothing.

28 to 30 is considered Regular not petite, 25 to 26 is petite. I wear 29 and I see some are going to a 28, I'm 5-1. I like my pants to touch my arch on my foot.
I have never seen petites in 25" length nor would that be a length I would ever purchase. I'm 5'2" and usually 27-28" works for me but I wear low to flat heels. Obviously, whether you wear flats or a heel will effect your preference as well. And good point from the poster who mentioned that large butt/hips (on Jane in that example) can raise the length of a longer pant! I suspect QVC offers 28" as petite when they offer 31" as regular.
They can't please all petites on length when petite covers 4'10" - 5'3".

Did anyone order the TSV in petites? I needed that length but the sleeve length according to the measurements seemed short and I didn't want to take a chance with a return. Those sweater coats sure seemed nice but now all the colors are sold out in my size. Had I ordered the regulars it would have seemed like a robe. So, I'm excluded once again.

The most popular pair of pants that QVC says has sold over 6 million pairs in the Petite Size it is a 27" Inseam. "That Should Tell You Something." That works for me.

25 to 26 would be "high waters" on me. But I could probably wear them as ankle pants or cropped pants.
