I'm 5'6" and have a petite but athletic figure (i.e., muscular legs/rear and a small waist). With vanity sizing, it has gotten increasingly more difficult to find jeans and slacks that fit me---everything is too big.

Patagonia jeans are the best for me (mid-rise, haven't tried the low rise). Talbot's curvy petite also fit me.

I might try JCrew because their skirts fit me.
