Another jeans question - Gap petite vs. Gap ankle

[mrsho]

For years, whenever I purchased pants/jeans from the Gap stores, I bought the ankle length bc I am 5'4. Today I saw they also have "petite" sizes. Does anyone know how the fit compares between the two styles?
I am curvy and petite, so I am concerned the actual petite sizes will be too small in the tigh / hip area...

The proportions on the petite sizes are smaller. If you look on the size charts online, the measurements on the petites are a little smaller than on the regular sizes. The ankle length pants are just shorter.

I'm 5'4" and curvy and the ankle length fits me and are the right length for flats, but the petites are too tight in the butt.

Ditto, except I'm 5'3"

I am a curvy 5'4" and recently bought their work pants and I order ankle and they fit me like regular pants. In a 2-3in heel they are perfect. I have to cuff if I wear flats.

I'm 5'3" and have always found the ankle fits way better than the petite on me. Petite is just cut too small everywhere for me (especially hips).
