If you're shorter than 5'7" I wouldn't suggest doing this with the Merona, it just won't be worth the cost a pro tailor will charge you (more than the suit's price). Honestly though, most people will be none the wiser if you take an inch and half off though, but you might and that's the most important person.

An awesome deal, although the seat of the pants seem to "pill" quite easily. I have a problem with the jacekts though - they don't come in short stature, so the regular length is jut way too long for me. I'm pretty sure that can't be changed through tailoring.
