I would think that you could model for petite clothing, although it is true that most modeling companies look for taller women.
"The general guidelines for women are height 5'9" to 6', around size 6, 34B-24-34, and 14-21 years of age. For men the guidelines are height around 6' (a couple of inches over or under), size 40R. Are there exceptions to this? You bet. Is it fair? No. Are there petite sizes and plus sizes? Yes. Do commercial, glamour, acting, or smaller markets care anything about these sizes? Not much. Only if you want to work high fashion in the major markets like New York are these numbers important." (from http://www.modelingadvice.com/)

The only problem with attempting to be a short model, is most short people tend to be overweight. and, most clothes to be modeled, are designed for taller women.
Now, there are models for plus sizes, so why not?
Maybe your answer can be found by contacting a modeling agency. they are in the yellow pages.

Is there anything wrong with a girl becoming a 'glamour' model? - not porn, just 'glamour' stuff. It pays well & is easy work.
