Shopping when short isn't easy (as I know from personal experience). Yes, it's possible to tailor larger, longer clothes, but that often involves more than just a hemline . . . and way more money. However, when it comes to clothing already in proportion to fit a smaller frame, Banana Republic has a whole petites section [1] with hundreds of options, from sweaters [2] and tops to pants [3] and even coats.
Don't tell my wallet, but when I was scrolling through, several on-sale pieces jumped out at me. Ahead, check out the items I think would fit so much better when already made in a petite size.
