There are many tops that I love, and want to buy, but they are too long for us petite women.  I don't put my tops into my pants, like some designers are showing, so that's not an option. I wanted to buy a few tonight, but just couldn't.  Please offer petite top!!

When I cannot find the right length top, I try to purchase the type that comes with a drawstring at the waist such as:

I agree that tops tend to be much too long not to mention long sleeves which cover my hands!  I have to laugh when they offer a petite tunic.....it's usually an inch or so shorter!

 

I get excited when I see a top that's under 26" in length!  I just ordered this Kim Gravel sweater: A663053.

 

The sleeves look like they would look good cuffed and the length is is around 25"

Another vote for petite tops that are the right length AND proportion for petite women!

I also really do wish Q would offer more tops that are not tunics. I rarely see them other places since they were first put out there for leggings to cover the tushie. They fit me like a dress; not interested. Petite pants don't just need to be shorter; they need to be proportioned differently to fit a shorter frame. I have seen several labels elswhere that offer short, regular, and tall lengths. That might work for some things. The sleeve length for jackets and most tops aren't shorter. They look sloppy when rolled up. Large plus sizes are now the focus for Q; petites sizes are not.

Re: LENGTH OF TOPS FOR PETITES

I get there are a lot of women who like their tops shorter, especially being petite, but…….I’m not that person. I love my relaxed fit tunic tops. I’m a plus size woman and really don’t want to show off my plus size tummy, and I’m sure many other people appreciate that too. Not that I’m doing it for them, I’m doing it for my comfort level. What I like is qvc being inclusive when it comes to clothes. I get not everything is going to look good on me, but it feels nice when I don’t have to go to the basement to buy my plus size clothes and there seems to be a smaller selection for me than the regular sized clothes. I usually end up buying clothes online from the b&m stores and half the time I end up having to return them. I mostly figured out what works for me here. So if I have to buy online, I do it here lots of times.

Re: LENGTH OF TOPS FOR PETITES

I wish they would stop making tops that look just like a maternity top.  They get all excited about it but that is what it looks like to me. Why don't they just have a maternity category by itself.

Also, why are the hosts and models always wearing the clothes too small I think that looks terrible.  
That's just my opinion.

Re: LENGTH OF TOPS FOR PETITES

Most pants come in Petite, but true few tops do unless they are labeled tunics. I am seeing less and less petite offerings (even some dresses lately are not offered in Petite) and more of the 3x, 4x, 5x which to me makes no sense.  Guess we are not that important to them. I usually end up buying my tops elsewhere where Petittes are offered. I would buy K. Gravel tops but I have had to return too many so I stopped.
