[quote author="SoCal78" date=1227274940]Cayci - any luck with finding petite clothes off the rack? I'm 5'9" so I wouldn't know anything about it, but my friend is 5'1" and loves Ann Taylor and Ann Taylor Loft for their selection of petite sizes.</blockquote>
I actually buy petite when I can, but it's not always an option. It's just a fact of life for me that I will always need straps shortened, hems raised, and will always look ridiculous in a long dress.
BTW, part of my goal is to make use of items that have only been worn once in a wedding. Gotta love those bridesmaid dresses!
