A pair of well fitted slacks is are a must.. and if you are short like me, then so is a good tailor! I have two different places I normally go to for alterations: Cinderella Tailors and Adam Tailor & Alterations. Both are located in Seattle. Cinderella Tailors is just a bit pricier, but she gets the job done fast. The quickest turn around time for a pair of slacks was 1 hour! Her average price to hem a pair of pants is $15. Adam Tailor & Alterations are extremely inexpensive. Only $12 for hemming. However he is VERY popular, so the turn around time takes anywhere from a week to two weeks.
With dress pants, I've noticed they often stretch out after a wears. Try to go with the smaller size if you are in between. They might feel a bit tight and uncomfortable at first, but they will loosen up. Better suffer a bit of discomfort, than end up with a pair of loose baggy slacks ;)

| Pants, Top, Necklace - Express |
Express is one of my go-to stores for work wear. They ALWAYS have sales, so never buy anything at full price. Just wait a few days and I guarantee they will have some sort of promo going on. Their 00 dress pants sizes are comparable to Ann Taylor's 00 petites.
