Hah! I have had the exact same problem with Kohls. I even blogged about it once last fall, after trying on every single brand of black/gray pants in the entire store in a 6-size range (regular & petite, 8-10-12). Nothing fit.

I buy most of my clothes at Old Navy and Gap, because for some reason, their pants fit me (but only the low waisted ones–I have exactly no space between hips and rib cage, so “low waist” hits me at the waist…”regular waist” leaves the crotch dangling to my knees). But they don’t have nice dress clothes that often.

I hate pants.

Good luck on your search!

I knit but that would probably take me a while to do that scarf but it is pretty cool. I loved the tea wallets too. My Mom would love something like that.

I want to see one of those zombie signs. That is just too funny…come to think of it…some of the road workers around here move as fast as zombies…maybe that’s what the signs referred to, lol.

I was in NY&C today and I’m sad because I hate their new collections. Orange, yellows and greens. Blech.

The “Boo!” to Kohl’s for no petites!! Or should that be “Boo!” to Chaps and Vera Wang? Hmm…

NY&Co is probably my favorite store. I can usually walk in confident I’ll find something I like that will look good, too!

I don’t like altering pants. I find it tedious and kind of stressful. I’d just as soon pay someone to do it for me. I only want to sew when it’s fun

I am short too. I’m also a great seamstress. What I’ve learned, however, is that the stress of preparing for travel and altering pants is too much for me. I totally botched a $130 pair of pants because I was rushing. Haste makes waste. FER SURE!

I used to shop at a Petite Sophisticates when I lived in ND, but that was ten years ago and I haven’t seen one since.

Jana, most of my clothes come from NY&C. I was just whining because the Kohls prices were really good, and it was brands like Chaps and the Vera Wang collection. Wah.

And people wonder why we Alaskans are suspicious of Lower 48ers meddling in our unique affairs. Maybe we wouldn’t be if they actually bothered to gather all the facts on the ground in Alaska before twisting things around to suit their own political agenda.

The fact is Alaskans were battling airborne predator control years before Sarah Palin ever entered politics and, sadly, will probably be battling it for years to come. I’ve lived here a lot of years now and the issue is one for the voters. Not the Governor. It’s been on every ballot of every election I can remember since I moved here and every single time Alaskans (myself included) vote it down, but the issue never goes away. In fact, the issue cuts across party lines. Just as many conservatives believe it is wrong to shoot wolves from helicopters as liberals.
