Don't get me started on Petites. I am 5'4". Sitting down, I'm as tall as someone who is 5'8". But my legs are as short as ... well, short. My inseam is around 29" but I have a very long waist.
Petite dresses don't fit because they are too short from the waist to the shoulders and the arm lengths hit well above the wrist. The waistband of the pants hit far below where they should, so I always feel like I have a "wedgie". As for tops and jackets, I buy straight sizes.
I prefer buying pants in straight sizes, but often, once I have a 34" inseam hemmed, they break wrong on my leg. Bottom line.... buying pants is an excruciating experience for me.
I also agree that Petite sizes look like something my 4'10" grandma would have worn. Too many elastic waist bands and pastel colors. They are often designed to make grown women look too cutsie!
