I just bought a new suit from Ann Taylor:

I got a petite, but as usual, the sleeve length is too long and needs to be altered. All my jackets have to be altered, or if they are the right sort of jacket, rolled up. (And for what I need this suit for, rolling up the sleeves is not an option.) This is what I get for being a short-armed 5'1" person. However, the functional buttons/buttonholes give me pause. Has anyone ever had a jacket altered from the shoulder for sleeve length, and was it successful? And, how much did it cost?

I like the suit, I need the suit for work, but I am not in love, and if this alteration is going to be a huge pain, back the suit will go and I'll continue to shop.
