Petite sizing is too tall
"I didn't read the fine print to see that for some strange reason, Democracy's petite is for 5'4" and under. 5'4" is just over the average height of an American woman! As someone who is under 5'0", I found the fit to be way off. It isn't a matter of trimming the bottom - the knee sits too low and makes the fit way off when cuffing the bottoms (esp with all the pre-made wear patterns in the coloring). The sizing is also larger than the size chart indicates."
