Would a slightly longer length still work for you?<br /><br />I had a look around and found quite a few options. Of course, I'm not very familiar with your style preferences, so not sure if these are your cup of tea. Also: I'm sure that you can find more options when you look around on the individual websites.<br /><br />Hope this helps:-)<br /><br /><a rel="nofollow"

+0000 DonnaF 911710@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ If you ever make it to the U.S. or other place that carries Petite sized clothing, you might try Petite cardis and jackets with 3/4 length sleeves.  They might hit you in the place you want.  I believe Nordstrom ships overseas but I have no clue about costs and duty.  They have that instant messaging thing so you can have them measure the garment, etc.<br /> Liz A. on "Cropped (waist length) cardis & jackets with sleeves?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cropped-waist-length-cardis-jackets-with-sleeves#post-911138 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 14:01:36 +0000 Liz A. 911138@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Are you talking about wearing a high waisted bottom with a cropped jacket such that the hem and the waistband are in relatively the same place?  I'm not so sure that would work.  I'd like to see it in action. Zaeobi on "Cropped (waist length) cardis & jackets with sleeves?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cropped-waist-length-cardis-jackets-with-sleeves#post-911122 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 13:47:46 +0000 Zaeobi 911122@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <div>This fruitless search is really starting to frustrate me! :( I'm looking for <i><b>cropped</b></i><b> jackets/ cardigans (outerwear)</b>, but it seems that most of the styles I look at finish in weird places (as a pear shape, the hem of a cropped look needs to <b>finish at the waist</b> to fit over my high-waisted bottoms, & look flattering on me).<br /><br />Instead, a lot of styles seem to finish weirdly just before the hips (see the first photo (tuxedo jacket) to understand what I mean). And if I <i>do</i> find a style that finishes at the waist, then it either has short or no sleeves (like the second (cardigan) photo item). <b>Full sleeves are preferred</b> but not a necessity- <b></b>bracelet length sleeves will also do!</div><div><br />(PS- Fulfilling the above 2 criteria is enough, but if you're feeling particularly adventurous then I'll add in some nitpicky details- a website that can <b>deliver to the UK </b>(with low shipping rates) would be great, & I'm on a <b>student budget</b>! That said, if you find any more <b>interview-appropriate blazers (in grey</b> preferably), I'd be willing to spend a little more.)</div><div><br />I'm sorry if this is a really specific/ strange request, but any help/ tips you can give would be greatly appreciated!<br /><br /></div><div><b>Thank you!</b></div><div><b>-IA :)</b><br /></div>
