My go to for Petites is Talbots. They have great sales and carry almost everything they sell in Petite.

Susan Gravers pants fit me well in Petite. Not many tops in Petite on qvc.

@Tinkrbl44  QVC has a big selection in petites, and many regular sizes fit me, and I am a true petite.  To find the clothes that are sized petite, just type petite in the search bar.  

 

When you get the results, look at the left size of the screen for a column headed "filter by" and click on "fashion".  From there, you can use additional filters if you wish.

 

You can also search for "petite dresses" or "petite pants" or "petite tops" or "petite pajamas" etc.  Not hard to find.

 

In recent years, I have bought most of my work clothes from QVC, because of the petite selections, inseams that fit me (28 and 30 for full length) and I am an attorney.  Jackets from Basso, Joan Rivers used to have, Louis Dell'Ollio many, even Peace Love World had nice jackets, but everything now is more casual in QVC and IRL.

 

Happy shopping!

 

Did you get a new job?  I am thinking about looking for something not lawyering.  Been there, done that.

 

Do you mind sharing what you will be doing and about your job search?  Maybe on a different thread?  Maybe you did that already?

 

TIA!

If I was shopping now, I may have bought this for work, and worn it if looked nice when I got it.  I don't like poly for my regular life tops and bottoms, but for work dresses poly is good because it looks the same all day.  And it's $44.

Ann Taylor has a big sale on blazers, pants, workclothes if you are wearing a professional look.  JCrew has a sale if you are wearing less suiting but nonetheless, classic clothes.
