Most tailors can handle a pant hem, but not all of them are as skilled at the alterations petites need to tailor their wardrobes. Below is a list of tailors that have been tried, tested, and recommended by fellow petites, such as petite fashion blogs, readers, and Alterations Needed Forum members (may it rest in peace).
