Where To Find Petite Friendly Mid-Rise Jeans

Finding mid-rise jeans in petite sizes that don’t require hemming has become a major challenge, and one that I see mentioned over and over again from fellow petites. Alteration costs have skyrocketed and we shouldn't have to keep paying this "petite tax", which is why understanding the art of designing for shorter frames matters.  I've studied responses from hundreds of petite women and complied a list of the most recommended brands.
