I was just looking at a few of their options so I'm glad to have your thumbs-up. Also good point that inseam may matter more than whether something is technically petite. I need to do a little more research/thinking to figure out what my sweet spot is.</p> <p><b>Suz</b>, makes sense that not everyone who is technically petite requires petite items (I NEVER buy petite tops). Although my legs are proportionally long, my rise is short, and I think that's what's driving me to seek a specialized cut. I can often make regular loungewear hit at the right spots (waist and length) by folding the waistband over, but...I just don't want to do that anymore if I can avoid it.</p> <p><b>FashIntern</b>, haha, we're on the same wavelength.&nbsp;</p> <p>Ooh, <b>La Ped</b>, are those Uniqlo joggers woven? How interesting. I hadn't considered something like that.</p> <p>Thanks <b>La Ped</b>, <b>Toban</b>, and <b>karen13</b> for the Athleta recommendation. I'll definitely check them out. I think I do want something that's soft rather than synthetic, BUT it would be great if my lounge pants could double as to-and-from-the-gym pants (I swim, so I don't need the pants to be workout gear). I'm realizing I'm still in the "what exactly do I want?" phase here.</p> <p><b>kkards</b>, no retail stone unturned! Thanks for the tip.</p> <p><b>Angie</b>, now that you mention Anthropologie, OF COURSE! But I never would have thought of them on my own. Many thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/basics-editing-sources-for-petite-loungewear#post-1993559 Fri, 18 Jan 2019 17:24:05 +0000 karen13 1993559@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another thumbs up on Athleta - I have lots of their petites. They often run generous in sizing, so read reviews. I don’t wear joggers due to calf sucking issues but DD loves the Soho and the Cosmic. And any of the lined versions (soho) are dreamy. I have the lined wide leg midtown trousers which are no longer made and I never take them off.<br /> <a href="https://athleta.gap.com/browse/category.do?cid=1046322&#038;nvt=Left%20Nav&#038;nvt=Bottoms&#038;nvt=CATEGORIES&#038;nvt=Joggers%20%26%20Sweatpants#size=61-1:754,755,756,757,758,759,760,753" rel="nofollow">https://athleta.gap.com/browse.....59,760,753</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/basics-editing-sources-for-petite-loungewear#post-1993506 Fri, 18 Jan 2019 14:59:49 +0000 Angie 1993506@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anthroplogie does GREAT petites online.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/basics-editing-sources-for-petite-loungewear#post-1993462 Fri, 18 Jan 2019 12:32:04 +0000 kkards 1993462@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ok....i know this is going to be unexpected...QVC.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/basics-editing-sources-for-petite-loungewear#post-1993457 Fri, 18 Jan 2019 12:16:01 +0000 Toban 1993457@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Check out Athleta. Many of their pieces are available in petite lengths online. I have a super comfy pair of navy joggers from them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/basics-editing-sources-for-petite-loungewear#post-1993456 Fri, 18 Jan 2019 12:15:44 +0000 LaPed 1993456@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You might take a look at Athleta; most of their pants come in a short inseam and they have some cute options that could do double duty as gym/dog-walking pants. Mostly synthetic though, which may not be what you want.</p> <p>I bet the Uniqlo Drape Joggers would work for you. I found them a little short for my 31" inseam (the feeling of banded elastic sweatpants riding up on my ankles is an old sensory pet peeve, probably a holdover from childhood growth spurts).&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/basics-editing-sources-for-petite-loungewear#post-1993415 Fri, 18 Jan 2019 07:33:16 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 1993415@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lol, yeah, that's why I shop the sales page of the outlet site. My tunic top from there was around 20. Can't remember what the leggings/pants were, but see some for 40, so guess mine might've been the same (but think it was less). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/basics-editing-sources-for-petite-loungewear#post-1993387 Fri, 18 Jan 2019 04:32:27 +0000 Suz 1993387@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm 5'4" but don't buy petites as a rule. I don't wear dedicated loungewear terribly often and manage with regular sized PJs etc. The loungewear joggers I own are rather old but still in great shape. And the length works perfectly for me.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/basics-editing-sources-for-petite-loungewear#post-1993384 Fri, 18 Jan 2019 04:24:25 +0000 sarah 1993384@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>GAP has some joggers in petite sizing. I have the ones below and my daughter does as well, in several colors. They are super soft and comfortable. I also love these Alternative track pants. I pretty much wear them every evening. They are super cozy. They don't come in petite, but they work well for me because they have a short inseam (28.5). I'm 5'1" for reference. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/basics-editing-sources-for-petite-loungewear#post-1993365 Fri, 18 Jan 2019 01:48:56 +0000 SarahD8 1993365@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah!

It’s in Boston and Brooklyn, that I know of. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/basics-editing-sources-for-petite-loungewear#post-1993352 Fri, 18 Jan 2019 00:40:48 +0000 SarahD8 1993352@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Fashintern. I am mainly concerned with inseam length, not overall size, but perhaps those cropped pants from Life Is Good would work as full-length on petites. I have to admit my first reaction to Soft Surroundings was: wow, spendy! Despite my vow to be willing to spend more on those constantly-worn basics like loungewear. Old mental habits die hard!</p> <p>Daisy Avalin, Primark could be a good source for UK-based petites to check out, thanks for throwing it in the ring! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/basics-editing-sources-for-petite-loungewear#post-1993312 Thu, 17 Jan 2019 22:52:26 +0000 Daisy Avalin 1993312@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My go-to for loungewear [leggings, sweatpants, full-length pyjama pants] is Primark, but I'm in the UK and not sure if Primark can be accessed overseas!&nbsp; I would assume you could order online, but I haven't tried. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/basics-editing-sources-for-petite-loungewear#post-1993311 Thu, 17 Jan 2019 22:50:19 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 1993311@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p> <div>A lot of my sleepwear is from Life is Good.

Can anyone suggest source for soft comfies that come in petites?</p> <p>I'll be specifically looking for jogger-type pants -- I'd love something soft and forgiving, but refined. A step up from athletic sweatpants IYKWIM. Want to feel like I'm cuddling up, not like I'm giving up. :-p</p> <p>But in addition to jogger pants, please feel free to post your favorite sources for all sorts of petite loungewear, so that this thread can serve as a resource for all us shorties. </p>
