As a gal who's is only 5'5 I alter a lot of dresses and pants, but also coats which I think some people forget they can have altered. I have had my tailor shorten many of my coats, and it's not even expensive, most coats are around $10. This coat was very long and though it was cool that way I knew I would not wear it very often at that length. As it is now I wear it a lot, so if you ever see a coat you love while thrifting or at a vintage shop that you think is too long you should think about having it tailored!

That is a beautiful coat, and I can't imagine it at another length. perfect. I never think to get coats shortened- I always just wear 'em at whatever length. hmmmm...
Damn that is a great coat! It never occurs to me to have things tailored. I gotta start thinking that way.
it looks perfect on you!
It's so funny to me that 5'5" is taller than the national average (also my height), and trousers are always too long! Can't there be a tall section for those trousers, and normal people like us can have normal length trousers?! Sigh. It's all a campaign to not only make us feel short and odd, but to support the alterations businesses, I suppose.
