Poor Jeanne Bice would really be mad.  She was short and NOT petite.  She would hate the fact that all Quacker Factory 1Xs are 29".  I'm 5'3" and a 29 inch length top looks like I'm wearing my husband's clothes!

 

Please, Angel!  Bring in shorter shirts or a petite line.  Surely there must be some women in the world who are shorter than 5'10"!!!  No more Quacker Factory for me until you size for us shorter gals--like Jeanne.

I have always loved QF but I agree with you and I'm 5'8"!!

The optimum length for me is 27" but I'll take 28" or so if it's all cotton (shrinkage goes up).  One or two tunic tops is plenty for me to own and even though I have a 30 - 31" leg, tunic tops make me look shorter and I feel dumpy.  I want a proportional look and I'm positive that Petites do too!  Woman Happy

A shorter "rise" would suit me just fine.  It is a major sewing ordeal to shorten a rise on pants.  

 

Yes, this company is missing out on millions because they don't recognize "the petite size".  They should ask D&C how much they make on Petites Sizes.
