petite clothing

The details are the very same as the lady in Frankfort, Ky. There is nothing in Gainesville, Ga. either. Years ago Sears was the best place in the nation to shop for everything! There has been a longstanding discrimination against petite women. We are not tall as girraffes, nor wide as vending machines. I await your answer @ gmomechols@yahoo.com.
Thank you
Margaret M.

Insist that all clothiers provide the wide selection of petites that are afforded to Misses and Women's. Any company that cannot, refuse their clothing altogether. I would be an excellent customer if you provided this minimal service.

Pants tall enough for Giraffes? Please tell me where this store is? I
have a very hard time trying to find jeans that fit my long legs. Only
problem, is that NO ONE(except the high price specialty stores,) has
it in my size and in tall.

So please tell me where this store is?

Online shopping is really the key here - or at least i have found that
to be the case. while many stores dont keep the petite stuff in stock
at the malls and such, their online shops carry tons. Old Navy, Gap,
Victorias secret, just to name a few all have petite options.

My Sears has a small plus section and a Huge petites section. I
suppose it all depands on where you live.

The problem is that there are less Petite shoppers then other groups
I'd guess, at least for this store. They are going to carry what
sells. So you may well be an excellent customer, but you can't carry
a department by yourself. It's not about discrimination, it's about
profit margins.

i haven't been shopping much at sears for clothes.

have you perhaps tried jc penny's? do they exist in your state?


i always think of jcp and sears together, prolly cos they were the
biggest stores in most of the malls i went to while growing up.

good luck however :-)

I guess those are smaller stores. My store carries a large selection
of petites. We have Levi, Lee, Gloria Vanderbilt, Sag Harbor, plus our
house brands. All the big stores in my district carry petites.

If there's no market or no room, they won't put it into the stores.
Why waste precious salesfloor space for stuff that hardly anyone
wants?

Oh, I forgot to comment on your last paragraph. I find your demand to
be absolutely ridiculous. There are far more larger women than there
are petite women. The Limited, NY&CO., Express, all carry some petite
lines, as do Gap, Eddie Bauer, etc. You need to shop around and be
willing to order off the 'net.

Petite departments are nearly nonexistent, and when a department store
DOES have them, they typically are clothing for little old ladies to
wear to church on Sundays.

Ralph Lauren and Liz Claiborne's petite clothing is significantly
longer than it should be, and runs smaller, which it isn't supposed to
do -- only shorter.

It's rather frusting for us shorter women.

So glad I am tall by sarahsmile Wed May 26, 2010 @ 8:55 AM


Old navy online by fairywithfangs Wed May 26, 2010 @ 12:51 PM

Maybe their market isnt geared towards petites.

There have been many niche stores that are geared towards petites
(petite sophisticate etc)

I buy tools at sears, dont think I would buy clothes there, my wife is
petite and doesnt shop there, we prefer Ross or Kohls.


Good Day

I cant get a live chicken there either! I demand justice and that you
supply everything for everyone.
