[Tippiechick]

I am 5'4". I cannot wear petites. The short/ankle length is hideous and hits about 1-1.5 inches above where it should.

So, I do what any SANE woman does: I have my clothes tailored.

My sister is 4'11". My grandmother is 4'10". THEY actually have a need for the petite section. But, since petite sections have few choices, they get their clothes tailored, too. They don't bitch and moan. They just do what they have to do to look good.
