People are taking this seriously, it's just that petite people don't have it the hardest.

I'm tall and I'm plus sized. I have it just as bad as a petite person does when trying to find clothes. Have you ever gone into a plus sized section at a department store? 99% of the styles they have are frumpy and out of date. It's not my idea of fashion to walk around in a mumu.

I have the hardest time buying pants. I'm extremly high waisted with long legs. I can't wear at waist plus size pants because they look horrible and I can't wear regular lenght pants because they're too short. But I can't wear long pants either because they're too long.

Most button -up shirts/blouses I can't wear because they don't go around my bust and if I go up to the next size, it's too big.

Shopping, for me is such a chore and often very depressing, that I hate doing it and rarely ever go.

Every woman on this board can tell you about horrible shopping experiences and how hard it is to buy clothes.

That's why this isn't just a problem for petite women.
