Can someone shorten them for you? I will gladly do for you.

Judy, yes they could be shortened, but why should I have to do that? Why don’t retailers carry petite pj’s? I guess they feel that because your sleeping, it doesn’t matter that they are too long. Well what about when I’m awake?

Sorry to rant. Just irritating to me. Thirteen years ago I slipped going down stairs because my pj’s were too long. Broke my elbow and now have two screws that hurt when it rains. It’s raining today. Again, sorry to rant.

I agree! I am short also. Luckily, I can shorten anything I need done. Our DD is shorter than me, I have saved her ton's of $$ over the years too. Just a thought.... does your Talbots offer alterations, I know some do.

I just typed in petite pajamas and also petite sleepwear into Google and came up with pages of results from well known manufacturers. Except for Talbots, lol!

Talbots might not carry petite pj's, but a quick google search shows that a lot of companies do. Just choose a company that sells petites, or if you really want to stick with Talbots, deal with the fact they come long and either wear long or get tailored.

Lauren from Ralph Lauren pajamas are short. I have both the petite and regular and both work for me. And I have really short legs.

I try to buy petite but sometimes the ones I like just don't come in that size. I have had to shorten many a pair and it's not a hard thing to do. The worst part is getting the machine out and set up ! :) Same with jeans but haven't had to shorten any in quite a while.

Being under five feet tall, the length of much clothing is very problematic for me! I can't help you with petite sizing on anything, as I find most of those still are far too long in both leg and sleeve length. It's crazy -- I do believe that stuff made in China has no concept of real women's sizes here in the US. I've seen tops where the sleeves are nearly a foot longer than my arms! And the leg length is that way, also. Completely nutz, IMO. Grrrrr.

I just hem all of my stuff. No problem.

I take the lazy road and just roll up the pajama legs that are too long.

I hem all of my stuff also, and I always pre-shrink everything first. Besides that, I've also made some of my own pajamas, and that allows me to get just the fabric that I want.

My mom is petite but petite pjs don’t always work for her. We discovered that crop-length, even in regular size, were a good solution.

Crop-length pants are long pants for me. I try to get crop-length PJ's too. I totally agree, roxanna7!

Seriously, get them shortened. Be safe.

I get the capri length just because I know the pants length will be too long. I just ordered some of the bamboo fabric pj's for myself and some pj's and matching robe for my sister as part of her Christmas gift. I am absolutely in love with that fabric. I think I will order a few more pairs for myself and get rid of the old uncomfortable pj's I have filling up my drawer.

I received a pair from SIL. She shops QVC. They are petite. I am going to head over and see if they still carry petite PJ.s.

Looks like Kohl's, JCPenney and QVC just to name a few.

Where do you find petite PJs? The same place I find tall PJs. No where. Mine are always flood pants on me. And I ain't going to spend a fortune on PJs.

They sell iron on hem tape that you can hem them up with. No sewing involved.

Hi there, nhbaskets-case,

For daytime use, you could get a pair of garters, or a couple of the elastic arm bands that men use above their elbows to keep their sleeves high so that they don't slide down too close to their hands, to keep the bottoms of their legs above the tops of the shoes.

That way, if your feet get cold in bed when wearing reg. length PJs, change into this pair and those long legs'll keep your feet toasty warm.

Or you can cut a chunk off of the end of the legs then hem the legs ...

... and you'll have material for patches when age causes those PJs to develop some holes.

Problem (watch for rhyming) goes away ...

... all night - and day.

O.K.?

I am short too. I just take and on the inside of the hem clip a little slit and run some elastic through it and fasten the ends together. Easy peasy and no more tripping.

It's so easy to use and it makes a quick easy hem. Fold fabric, slip in the fuse tape, and then iron with a warm iron.

I am short also, 5' and have found petite PJs at Dillard's. But I find loose legs are not safe for me. So I look for the kind with cinched ankles. But it is a a dilemma!

What a timely topic as I was just online searching for petite pajamas; after hemming the sleeves and the legs of a pair that I've suffered with for far too long - so frustrating. It appears that if you want petite, you have to order online - and be sure that the inseam is short enough. I just ordered a pair from Amazon that claims to be petite but also has a snug cuffed bottom; so even if they are too long it shouldn't be an issue. It also appears that the few retailers that do offer petite pajamas never seem to put them on sale. :-\

I'm not short but I had to return a pair of PJs last week. They were size small and fit perfectly. I have long legs so no problem ever with hemming stuff but these were tapered! I like loose legged PJs and not constricting ones. I had the receipt and labels and they were great about my return as I knew they'd be.

Have you tried LOFT? My dd is really short. We found petite pants there that fit nicely without tailoring.

I have the opposite problem! I'm 5'6 and it seems all my pajama bottoms shrink to be what we used to call floods! lol I did finally buy one pair a size bigger and then they shrunk to fit perfectly, including the length.

We're talking cheapie PJ's I buy on sale at BJ's usually.
