Just being nosy: Calling Petites - Who is 5 foot 2 or under?

[morningpaper]

I'm 5 foot

Who else is pocket sized?

French Connection, Zara, Mango, Jigsaw for skirts, Top Shop okay too for tops. All but jigsaw do size 6 (only buy skirts there) and I find i only have to take jeans up - usually French Connection. Long skirts usually okay. I'm 5'2. Do have a problem with long sleeves though.

i'm 5ft 2. i get most things from topshop or topshop petite.

I'm 5' 2''. Best jeans for me are Anne Brooks petit (from Debenhams).
Have to say, having always gone for Next petit - i'm starting to find the legs in trousers too long in last couple of years. it is me? am i shrinking???

You're not all "petite" You're SHORT.

How strangely fascinating, to see all these people I imagined being tall admitting to being short! I am 5'2", but I don't really have problems finding things to fit. I have relatively longer legs and a shorter body though, so I think that helps. And I'm taller than motherinferior, which also helps

it's funny you say that sparklypete because I used to find all the petite trousers too short for me but in the last year, they have definitely started to fit me perfectly (and I'm 5'6!)

Bog off Soupy

I'm not SHORT I am gravitationally challenged.

I don't really qualify being a towering 5' 2.5" but to the mumsnetter who wanted petite maternity clothes, try reet petite.

I always thought I was about 5' 4" until I was measured by a nurse earlier this year. I think I just look taller because I'm also skinny.

oooh! am v. excited about Monsoon Petite - will have to investigate

5'1, measuring by the length of my left leg - my right leg is nearly an inch shorter, so when I stand without any kind of orthotic support I'm shorter still (and wonky ).

Germany does not have petite ranges . I wear skirts or take up trousers.

and dh is 5'2

no prizes for guessing what centile ds is on...

I'm 146 cm apparently thats about 4'9

I'm 5'3".

I feel very tall on this thread.

Thank you!

tref It's a pain, isn't it? Fortunately dh and I turned up for our first doc visits with ds together, so it was pretty clear where the shortness was coming from. He's quite light as well, but less drastically so.

I'm 4ft 10"... not the height of two daisys... wish I were a dandelion!

I'm 5ft, I'm not petite though
I know what you mean about the lack of curvy clothes!
I live in jeans and just buy longer one that fit the hips and wreck the bottoms topswise If I find something I like I buy loads of them in different colours.
IME petite ranges are usually too expensive for me and they are also tend to be smart clothes rather than practical!

Can anyone recommend any short tracksuit pants?

me im 5foot 2.

I'm 4ft 10 in with a 27 in inside leg.

I hate it when shops say petite is 5 ft 3in and under. I'm a full 5 in shorter than that and often find even petite doesn't fit right. I just find I have to shop around a lot to find something to fit me. Though I do tend to go for the the 'hippy' deconsctructed look so tha helps.

Has any one else had the helpfull advice "buy childrens clothes!!" Yeah! right do 12 year olds have curves, I think not!!

sahmumtotwo, someone said that to me this morning actually (when I was moaning about my fat face stuff)...grrrr!

I'm only 5ft. Most of my work clothes come from Next, with the odd pair of trousers from Monsoon. Monsoon Petite though? That would be great! Not seen it in my local store yet!

I used to buy clothes from New look kids!
That was pre kids though
