Petite girls - maternity clothes?

Where do you find clothes that fit???  I'm 5'1" and normally wear a size 0.  I went to Destination Maternity over the weekend and tried on every pair of pants in the place!  I found one pair of cords at Pea in the Pod that fit...everything else was huge (not in the belly; mainly in the hips and legs).  The shirts I tried on were a joke...most came almost to my knees.  I guess I'll be wearing normal shirts until I'm huge but I'd love to know where y'all found pants that fit.   Thanks!

    I do not even do Mat shirts, I bought 2 in the beginning and everything swims on me. I buy empire type shirts in a larger then normal size at this point. Thank God that style is in.

    For jeans Motherhood maternity fit pretty good. Some Gap jeans I need to role up. I end up hemming all regular pants =/

    Oh, I do have to add that besides my belly my legs are the only thing that gained some weight so as I went on the jeans and pants fit better.

    A lot of years and a million tears finally led me to you.

    The pants I wore were from mimi, pea in the pod (both on sale at motherhood outlet) and old navy.  My jeans were Seven, also at the motherhood outlet.  Most pants were close in the length, I had old navy khakis that I rolled up.

    Shirts were silly near the end-- I needed a large to accommodate my big belly (and boobs), but then they were huge in the shoulders and arm holes.  I didn't find a solution to that problem.

    I'm 5' 2" and usually a size 2 and yes, it was hard to find pants that fit.  I actually had to get some taken up.  Seemed like a waste of money, I had to do it.  I found that Motherhood maternity had some things.  The other thing you can do is look on the internet for petite maternity clothes.

    GL!

    Thanks!  I did find a pair of Citizens of Humanity jeans that fit perfectly.  Everything does have to be hemmed, though.  As long as they fit in the hips and legs, the length doesn't bother me.  I think just buying larger empire style tops is going to be the way to go.

    I am 5'0 and Motherhood Maternity was the only place I could find Petite pants that would fit me. I did not start to wear Maternity shirts until 22 weeks because they were HUGE on me.

    Motherhood has petite sizes.  I'm 5'1" and found a pair there that fit.  Everything else I just rolled up the bottom.  I was too lazy to get them hemmed.  Good luck!

    Motherhood's petite pants are the first petite pants I've ever found to be short enough for me.  If anything, they're sometimes too high-watery.  Crazy.

    I'm not small in size, just height, but I've found that I prefer long non-maternity sweaters.  They stretch right over the bump, cover up the pants panel, and don't look like tents.
