Do you wear a Petite Large?

[mayachel]

I know my mother would like a pretty cardigan for christmas. I''d like to find two, one cotton every day style, and one cashmere dressy cardigan. Only...petites are hard sizes to find and all the models are skinny!


If you wear a size petite large, or just know what would suit this body shape, (short waist) and have ideas for sweaters I''d love some help. Thanks!

I usually wear a petite M or L. Banana Republic and Jcrew both have some nice petite items and I LOVE Jcrew''s sweaters although I order the regulars, not the petities.

I have two of these and they don''t looks long or anything on me.

I''m noticing that BR have wool in them, do you find it scratchy at all?

I think my BR ones have wool but I don''t find them scratchy.

Thanks ladies, your suggestions were all helpful. I decided on two sweaters from Land''s End, as they had the largest selection at the time I was looking to place the order. This purple one is a nice cashmere pullover and there was another one I found that was a cotton beading with delicate beading, I can''t find a photo of it now though.

So my list of stores with petites?

Banana Republic
Anne Taylor
Talbots
Chicos
Eddie Bauer (very limited)
Ralph Lauren
Lands End
LL Bean
Sears
Kohls
Cold Water Creek (also limited)
