Very random question, are there companies that specifically market towards "little people" (sorry if that's not a PC term, I just don't know which to use because there are so many forms and variances), or do many get their clothing made for them?
Little people/little person is the preffered term for someone of short stature, and average is preffered for non-short people, rather than "normal."

As far as clothes, it varies on how severe your dwarfism is. My sister is a "tall" dwarf and can buy regular clothes at the store, and then just have the arms and legs hemmed to make them fit. Sometimes, she can find clothes that fit right of the rack. I know that the capri style pants that are in fashion right now are a perfect fit on her as full length pants, and shirts with a 3/4 sleeve are perfect long sleeved shirts. Shorter little people, or those with additional complications/disfigurements will have a harder time finding clothing in stores, and will make their own.
