The continuing adventures of Michelle, the girl too short to live.

Dear short people of my flist (and beyond): Where do you buy your jeans? (And when I say short, I mean short - If you're taller than 5'3, I don't mean you.) Where do you get pants that honestly fit you: petite sizes, short inseams, etc? A specific store? Online somewhere? Perhaps for not ridiculous prices? I know about Delia's, but since leaving the east coast, it's harder for me to attain their clothes. (And shipping, Jesus Christ.) And I'm sure as hell not going to look on eBay.

Thanks in advance. ♥

target's become a lot more reliable as of late. they've split their pants and jeans into 4-5 different fit categories that mix and match various hip/waist/leg length ratios. it would probably be best to check their selection out in-store, but once you find ~your number~ you're set.

I love American eagle, they have short, regular, and tall in all sizes~ I am 5'1 and short size 2 fits perfectly! I know they can be a bit pricey, but they have a lot of sales and their jeans last /forever/. I still have some from hs ~ XD

I bought my last pair of jeans that I JUST DID NOT TAKE OFF BECAUSE THEY WERE SO AWESOME at the Gap. I ordered them online. They were this pair, I believe. I'm 5"2' and their regular inseam fit me perfectly, probably because they're skinny leg. But they're so, so comfortable, and I literally wore them forever until I snagged them while in a hurry to get off the bus last week, and tore a hole in the knee.

Problem is, the Gap is kind of pricey (those jeans cost $70 normally), so you have to kind of wait for sales. AND WHEN SALES COME, THEY USUALLY DON'T HAVE YOUR SIZE. Like, right now they have those jeans for $30, which would be really awesome, but they don't have my size. Or anything close to it, haha.

This post reminds me that I need to buy a new pair of jeans, too. Since I tore my aforementioned pair, I've been wearing dressy pants everywhere because that's all I have left.

My mom shops for me. She finds jeans for me at Kmart and KOHL's, which probably doesn't help that much.

I'm 5'2.5", and I've totally given up and started just hemming my pants.

I'm 5'1", and generally I spend about two hours trying to find a decent pair and then I buy five of them. Last time I did this I ended up getting some from Old Navy, and they're pretty okay.
