items Jean shopping can be a challenge for anyone, but if you're under 5'4" you know that not every brand makes petite sizing, so your choices are limited. 3 quick tips: 1) Know your preferred inseam and rise 2) Try them on and sit, squat, kick - whatever helps you to check for gaping/sagging 3) Find a tailor - one pair of well-fitting jeans is better than two that drag or sag.
