WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BEING PETITE AND BEING SHORT?
Some designers have both a petite line and a short line. Typically there is a 1 to 2 inch difference in the inseam length of the pants. A good example is Levi’s Jeans. Their petite jeans have a 29-inch inseam while their petite short jeans have a 27½-inch inseam. Also, their average and junior jeans in short have a 30-inch inseam. Any of these lengths might work for a petite woman. So, know your inseam!
