In any case, what's the point of buying the outfit if you have to cut it, shrink it and change the button sizes?

And as we've all been saying and things that don't get through to you is that we ALL have similar problems. These problems ARE NOT exclusive to petites. Some of us don't even HAVE the option of alterations. We would all like to be able to find things that fit and flatter us. It's hard to find good clothes that do that, for all of us.
Perhaps you should try to get on "What Not to Wear". Stacey and Clinton do an excellent job of showing people of all shapes and sizes how to find clothing for their particular body type.
I wish I could afford to tailor my clothes... tailored clothes look so much better on everyone. We're not all cut from the same mold, but the clothing is.
People would be a lot more sympathetic to your plight if you didn't keep saying that you had it the toughest.
