I agree, but this request has been made many times and has fallen on deaf ears.  I can no longer buy Kim Gravel's tops, they start at 25 1/2 or 26, which is too long for me.

 

Whenever Denim & Co. offers tops in petites, they are only 1 1/2 or two inches shorter, again not short enough.

 

I buy my petite tops at Macys, J. Jill or Lands End.

Belk's has petite tops also.....sometimes the selection if lacking, but they have some.

I buy petite  tops at Christopher and Banks or Appleseeds.

 

I find even petite pants from QVC are too long in the rise.  Just making the inseam length shorter is not a help, so I shop elsewhere.

Agree 100%. I also stopped buying Kim Gravels tops for this same reason. 
Most of my tops come from Talbots Petites. They have great sales which makes them less than qvc prices.

Qvc went to offering size 5X to be more inclusive; how about Petites?

Yes, yes !!  I'm always hoping for that ,   26-27 1/2 does nothing for me ,  hits at the wrong spot !   being petite plus short waisted .  I guess qvc vendors feel one size fits all or they just don't care about us petite girls .

 

my perfect length for tops would be somewhere between 24 - 25.   I have gotten that length a handful of times .   I think it was Lori a Goldstein maybe.🤔 

 

inseam on pants are not usually short enough,   Would have to where 3" heels to wear .  My perfect inseam is 25"

or with a 2" heel I can do 26".  27" is just too long !

I imagine it is qvc's decision whether to order items in Petite sizing. Kim would be making tops in Petite if QVC thought they would sell enough.

People who are not short may think it's just the shirt length that is the problem. A true petite top is proportioned in the sleeves and bust darts also. 
That is why I buy tops where they are designed for Petite. I wait for sales because they can be pricey at a store like Talbots but when they have 40% or 50% off they are cheaper than qvc and they fit perfectly. 
I think Kim Gravel and Susan Graver quality is usually comparable to Talbots, however things made specifically for short women just fit better. 
id rather ha pre less clothes than a bunch that don't fit right.
