I just read the new InsideQ and there is a mention from a women named Phyllis asking for petite dream jeans. Angel's suggestion was look at the pedal pushers with an inseam of 17". Inseam is not the same as rise. QF would make a bit more sales IF THEY WOULD GIVE US PETITES "PETITE SIZES"! It's the rise that makes it a petite size!

I remember very well why Jeanne said QF doesn't offer petite sizing. She said customers had asked for petites (many years ago), so QF offered them and then they didn't sell! So they were stuck with the inventory. No company is going to produce items that they can't sell, especially in the quantities they have to produce for QVC. That's when they started offering "short" instead and Jeanne was very clear about the difference between petite and short. I'm fairly certain that I've heard Angel explain it more than once, as well.

It may be that the demographic has changed enough now that they could try reintroducing petite ranges, but I think they'd have to get a lot of requests before they'd try it again. JMO.

Forum readers may get sick of reading this; I am a shortie/non-petite/long torso...

QF pants all fit me

D&Co original waist fits; but not the "at the waist" styles (too short in the rise)

QF tops usually swallow me... for somebody with not much person to offer, sleeves are long and length of top is long... most styles have too much fabric for this short in pants and petite in top person.

Precisely why I don't buy pants from QF among a few other reasons. 5 ft tall. Doesn't work for me.

DON't MESS WITH SHORT....LOVE THEM!!!!

Denim & Co offers petite sizes , if I'm not mistaken.

BTW, the measurements for pants are listed in the sizing chart, so you know exactly what you're getting!

Angel just spoke about this again in today's shows, so she clearly knows the difference between "short" and "petite". As she stated, the pants are "short not petite" (with the explanation of why).

Some said that they hadn't ever heard of "short" being offered by any other brand. I think it was either Levis or Gap jeans that offers "short." I don't know about the rise. I know that I bought them and wore them. I was happy, because I am curvy (body type) just enough that petites don't always work.
