Now if they would only make more petites in age appropriate styles, and not cater to the much younger crowd. I wear petites, but not jeans with ragged holes already in them, or the waistline so far down on your hips that they practically fall off, or the ""skinny jeans" and skin tight leggins. Give us "older" petites a break, please.....20 years old I am not!
I know what you men! I recently got a catalog from a company I ordered a couple skirts from - I do NOT like the restrictive "pencil" skirts one bit, and that seems to be mostly what stores sell. I wanna be able to move my legs when I walk! Anyway, when I got the actual catalog, I was pleasantly surprised to see it offers all its clothes in "petite" versions, and even has a page explaining they alter the sleeve length, not just the hems, for the "petite" versions, and give measurements for hem length on everything! While I do not count as Petite, obviously, I have friends and family members who do, and sent them the link! Just because one stopped growing at 15, does not mean their tastes in clothing get stuck there!
