Heh! I feel your pain. I'm 5' 2.5" with a short torso and long legs. Petite length jeans? How about we just call them high-water jeans. My sister is taller than me by at least an inch, but my legs are longer than hers. She'd get so irritated when she drove the car after I did because she'd have to move the seat up. I wear a size 7 1/2 shoe and need a wide width. Wide widths are hard to find in any size. I also have a swayed back so I have trouble finding stuff that fits right around the hips and waist.

I'm around 5' 2'' (a bit over 158 cm but not quite 159) as well, except I have average-lenght torso (I think) and short legs. So, basically, getting pants and skirts is always fun. I've worn skirts as dresses before and they still reached my ankles. Capri pants are actually normal pants for me. My feet can't reach the ground when I sit at our lecture hall, unless I sit on the edge of my seat. It's fine but also kind of embarrasing when I, an adult, sit there and just dangle my legs for two hours.
