Minnie pants run really big, so you should definitely get a 0 in the suiting pants. I wear the smallest minnie pants they make but a 0 short and the 00 suiting pants are too tight in the butt to be work appropriate.

I have long arms as well, and J.Crew is the only store where the sleeves are routinely long enough. in fact, my suit jacket arms are too long in both the 120s and the superfine.

If you are similarly sized on the top and bottom and not very busty, I would size down on the jacket. I find that the body of the suit jackets is very roomy, much more so than the schoolboy blazers, and I wish I had bought mine in a 00. The 0 are bordering on frumpy because of the too long sleeves/baggy body. I'm a 28D/30C and even if my chest was much bigger it wouldn't fill the jackets in a size 0.

Finally, about the pant length, I have really, really long legs and wear them with heels. I do not think the stated inseam is correct. Typically for me a 32" inseam is fine with flats and I need longer for heels. The 120s pants in size 0 are plenty long to be worn with my air talias which I think are 2 or 2.5". As I stated earlier I am 5'9", and very leggy.

Have you thought about ordering some full priced sizes just to try?

I might have to order a few different sizes at some point. :-( I'd like to avoid that if I can, though, because return shipping from Canada would be very expensive.

For those petite J Crew loving women, are J Crew petite sizes comparable to Banana Republic or Ann Taylor? When I compare the sizing charts, J Crew petites are 1 inch smaller in the bust, waist, and hips area compared to BR. Thanks.

I notice (and hate) that they always update their sale sections plenty right after a promo expires. A shirt I had been waiting for was actually available in my size, but i refuse to pay 40% more for it today.
