What a painful added expense just because of your height
Eg. Each pair of Tsubi Zip Jeans that I purchase costs me an additional $50 just to have them altered LOLyeah u shouldnt have to pay extra for less material, but most of my friends who arent 6ft have to get jeans/pants altered, as they are so long! Like some S&B styles etc.
But suppose its better that having jeans too short, thats such a bad look
$50!! OMG where r u going?
I think it usually costs around $15 to get it re-hemmed.

The Zip Tsubi's cost that much because they have to remove the zip and re-stitch it back on. I always keep the feature on whatever pair of jeans I'm altering...

Answer:
wow!! size 4?? this should be called the petite petite thread!! I really feel for you girls!
I am a size 6 but I look fat, and SAs are always surprised when they give me a 8 or 10 and it is super baggy on me
Bardot is the best for jeans, their size 6 is perfect! and sometimes even too small! I heard BL just started making a size 25 which is like a aus size 5 I think??
And for basics I always go Supre which always has heaps of little sizes!! I agree with the comments about Cue, CR, Sportsgirl, girls just avoid these stores!

Answer:
Yeah I feel your pain bittersweetemily, I'm size 6, and I look petite, but I'm so untoned! I usally go 6 if I want something close fitting or 8 for a baggy look.

Answer:
I'm 165cm, a size 6 (sometimes smaller depending on the brand) with full-D cup breasts... Nightmare!!
It's hard to find tops that fit me, especially if the top is meant to be fitted.
And jeans and pants have always been tricky... I'm yet to find a pair that fit perfectly.

Answer:
i knooooooooow. I'm 170cm, a six and a c-cup! CR is HOPELESS no pants/skirts fit at all.
jeans/pants are hard cos i have a flat ass..not a nice cute one that fits into jeans. maybe the answer is butt implants?
work clothes...so hard. sheike is ok. witchery terrible!! and the shop assistants - narky as!
alice mccall is strange...i tried on two dresses in a six, maidens prayer dress was TINY, no way i was getting it on, milkshake dress was massive!!! grrr...

Answer:
Outrageous that is outrageous! You need to find yourself one alterationist that you can rely on and wont rip you off. I've been going to the same lady for around 6 years now. I live for her. She knows what she needs to do before I have even put something on. She takes everything in and up and this and that. I have a about 13 things for her this week. Can't wait to see her tonight.
I went to the doctors yesterday and ended up in tears. Instead of putting on a few kilos which I have been trying like hell to do I've lost 2kgs and on my tiny frame 2kgs is a big deal. I now weigh 42kgs and I'm 160cm so I'm going off to cry and eat the rest of my Godiva chocolate bars.

Answer:
I find it really difficult as well - i'm 5'9" so quite tall but a size 6 in pants, and 8 in tops. I've also noticed recently that size 8s are being made bigger as well and a lot of shops here don't get size 6 in. I'm not incredibly skinny (not ano or anything) either so i find this really odd!!! I can fit some kids clothing but it's normally way too short in the legs. Maybe i should learn to sew...
