Finding Clothes That Fit.

**AshB$** · 07-14-2011 11:54 PM

I've been bawling my eyes out over this actually. I can't find any pants that fit. I am 5'0. Right about now I'm 85 lb due to a very unhealthy lifestyle. And I'm so hurt I can't find jeans that fit. They are all too long... Even when I weighed more. Everything was too long. I can gain weight, but I can't make myself grow.
Does anyone have this problem?
Know any good stores, brands that would be good to try?
It would really help, because pathetically, this is just one more thing adding to depression.

Ah okay weight doesn't have anything to do with height. Have you shopped in the "petites" sections of shops? 5'0 is quite a common height I'd think, surely common enough for big malls like Maceys or whatever to carry jeans to fit you.

Worst comes to worst you can get jeans tailored. May cost a little extra but in return you'd get perfectly fitted jeans that will last you years.

I'm 5'2" with a 26" waist and 28" inseam. It is rare that I can find jeans that fit me even in petite shops. I usually end up getting girls size 16. I've found some jeans in the girls section that fit me perfect. I also have a pair of Joe's Jeans Provocateur Petite that fit me perfect after the length was altered. Some shops will alter the length for you free.

Try the girls shops, you should be able to get a good fit there.

I'm 4'11" and weigh about 95 pounds. Pants were always really hard for me to buy. I always had to get my pants hemmed. I once fit into a size 16 Old Navy Girls jeans. I didn't buy them because I thought it was so embarrassing to shop in the children's section.

Try Forever 21. My daughter is 5'1" and seems to find a lot there. Warning, their clothes are very cheaply made. They won't last long.

We don't get to pick our genes (parents) so all of us have to do the best with what we are given. My ex sister in law was 5' tall and a size 0 in almost everything.

She had to have everything modified by a local tailor. Yes, it added an unfortunate expense, so she shopped for items on "sale" to aloow room for the cost of the tailoring in order to get clothes that fit properly and that weren't rediculously expensive.

Stop crying, wipe away the tears, be thankful for all of the good things you have in your life and find a reasonably priced tailor.

I found my "tailor" through a local sewing club/group that I found through my local national chain fabric store.

I have a hard time finding clothes to fit too, i have shopped in petite section as well, i agree it is hard finding clothes to fit, my biggest problem is finding nice tops to fit nicely with a pair of jeans wear it doesnt look so bulky i am 5.1 and 3/4 the doc just had to verify that last week at my physical i was 5'2 but cuz of my discs deteriating im shrinking lol, sometimes you can find a really good cheap tailor, you can do it yourself as well have someone measure them on you and sew them up by hand, may not be perfect but it saves money

finding suitable clothes for me has become my huge problem which i can`t solve any way, the problem is that i`m short and fat , i can`t get taller nor get thinner, i think i need need to have my own dress maker.

One of my friends is probably right about 5'. She *loves* being that small, because girls jeans are much cheaper, and they're cute! Don't be worried about shopping in the girls section for pants, trust me, nobody will judge you, or care.

Any plus size store will be great. Please do not "stuff" yourself into smaller jeans, it only makes you look bigger. Pl;us size clothing an be very flattering, think Queen latifa
