My problem with Talbot's is that I no longer find clothing there that I like. For the last 10 years, the store has changed considerably. It used to be very classic and now it just seems far different. There must be a lot of people who like their clothing but after buying there for many years, I no longer do. I much prefer Ann Taylor or JCrew.
Here is my 5'9" self thinking how lucky the short people are because at least you can have things shortened. I can't have pre-made things made longer.
Actually, you're right. I learned how to hem my pants when I was 13, and if I can't find a petite length in pants I like, I buy them anyway and hem them myself. Takes 10 minutes.

@Nonametoday sorry about that. I also do these hemming jobs for family and friends, because I have every color thread and am fast and good at it. Wish I could help you out!
@cheriere - I also have a 32" inseam. I think I am adamant about my pants being long enough because they never were when I was growing up. I have six sisters and I was the tallest one and the last one. I got all the hand me downs. I didn't mind the hand me downs but I minded the pants were never long enough.
Talbots's and Jjill have wonderful petite sizing! Im 5'2" and shop often at these two retailers. Nordstrom used to ne great, now a shell of what they used to be.
