Anyway just wanted to add that I was buying bootcuts and wanted a loose fit, so the bigger size just fit me, but wasn't the fit I wanted.  https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-sizing-for-petites#post-893892 Sat, 30 Mar 2013 22:39:33 +0000 kellygirl 893892@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks, glory, Sarah and Cathy! I will try the 10 and 12 petite and see how it goes. Gap is kind of frustrating to me because I can never find parities in store. I've got a boat load in my cart and will just have to suffer the returns. Thanks for sharing! I really appreciate it. I will report back. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-sizing-for-petites#post-893817 Sat, 30 Mar 2013 21:00:35 +0000 cciele 893817@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Yup, size up one or even two sizes, depending on the cut and desired fit. My Gap SBF are 10p and I'm a 28 or 29. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-sizing-for-petites#post-893783 Sat, 30 Mar 2013 20:19:32 +0000 sarah 893783@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I bought my BF jeans in petite for the very same reasons. They don't work unrolled, but I like them much better rolled than my other BF jeans, because they are more tapered and the "roll" is flatter. I wear a 6P in GAP SBFs. I'm not sure what my regular size would be, but I think I usually wear a 2 in GAP jeans. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-sizing-for-petites#post-893768 Sat, 30 Mar 2013 19:56:08 +0000 kellygirl 893768@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks for chiming in. Scarlet, now you have me wondering if I should size up once or perhaps twice. That is so disappointing to not have things fit. I wish the size charts would address these discrepancies. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-sizing-for-petites#post-893752 Sat, 30 Mar 2013 19:40:44 +0000 Scarlet 893752@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I didn't know you had to size up. Makes me feel better about the fact that I ordered two sizes and they were both too small! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-sizing-for-petites#post-893700 Sat, 30 Mar 2013 18:47:27 +0000 Glory 893700@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I have to size up in the petites https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-sizing-for-petites#post-893665 Sat, 30 Mar 2013 18:11:51 +0000 kellygirl 893665@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I thought I had read that somewhere but couldn't find the thread. My SBF's are 8 and I can take them on and off without unbuttoning. I will try the 10P then. Thanks, Una! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-sizing-for-petites#post-893662 Sat, 30 Mar 2013 18:09:19 +0000 catgirl 893662@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I size up.  I can wear a 2 or 4 in the regular SBFs, had to size up to 6 in the petites. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-sizing-for-petites#post-893660 Sat, 30 Mar 2013 18:08:22 +0000 kellygirl 893660@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Do any of you have experience with the petite sizing on Gap bottoms? I typically buy regular lengths in BF's but would like to have a shorter pair for spring for a less bulky roll on the bottom (I don't want to hem my current pair because I like them full length for fall/winter.) I'm also thinking about trying the Skinny Mini in petite. (The regulars made for a lot of extra fabric when scrunched.) My question is whether it is necessary to size up  in petites or go with the normal regular size. TIA.
