I'm 5 feet tall and am thankful that there is a reasonably priced, lovely-to-talk-to, competent seamstress in my neighborhood!
I've been known to find something wonderful, but too long, at Filene's Basement (I live outside of Boston), and on my way home stop off to see Rose. She always laughs when she sees the tag on the garment. She also irons everything before she gives it back to you, quite a bonus!
