I could have written your comment – at 5’2” and 108 (honest!) I gave up finding businesswear in stores years ago, but now it’s nearly impossible to find suits small enough! As an attorney in a conservative area, I have to have court-appropriate suits, so can’t rely on my weekend go-to clothing from places like North Face or Patagonia (which, at least, still recognize there are smaller folks out there). If I had a $1 every time some helpful, off-the-rack shopping soul suggested I could “just have things tailored,” l could have retired long ago and live in my hiking gear full time!

Agreed! After the Limited (went bankrupt, now has a poorly rebooted website/manufacturer) and Express (only sometimes), not many other options.

As a 0p i find no suits in stores and haven’t for a while – but now even the companies listed here have cut back on (or just don’t carry) their 0p online. I am on the short side – 5’2, 108 lbs – but am by no means the only one around. I need suits for my job and it’s been incredibly frustrating to find only a very few suits to fit me in a style appropriate to my work.
