Where to find professional clothing/suits for petites?
I'm starting the post-college interview process and was wondering where you smaller gals find suits that fit decently! Preferably not too $$$. I'm 5'1" and very tiny - like a 00/sz 23/24. I want either black, charcoal, or pinstripe. Thanks for any recs gals

Ann Taylor Loft have some lovely office wear for petites, but they are more on the $$ side.

I get a lot of work separates at NY & Co. You may be able to fit in their size 0. They have a huge selection and stuff I always on sale.

I found super cute suit at Arden B. The one from Chadwicks was cut really oddly - very boxy on top, more narrow on the bottom  And I'm petite for sure, but i swear the inseam is like 26 inches - with heels I look crazy! It sucks b/c I paid for expedited shipping and now I have to pay to send it back grrrr.
