what kind of coat fits a a petit woman better?

I am fairly short myself, 5'4", bought a nightgown one time, was supposed to go to my knees, yeah--went to my ankles! So I definately understand the need for correct fitting clothing!  You can get almost any kind of jackets if you but in the petite section! Or, if you are able to, check the junior section of stores as well! That gives you "trendier" options as well!  What i try to do , is make sure the coat falls right at the bottom of my behind, for me, anything longer is just too long!  But that is just my personal preference, if you like a longer coat, go for it!
