Default Help for pant suit - Short legs, Long torso, not black, etc

So I want a professional suit. I have a problem. I have short legs. Yes, I know the answer would be to get it tailored or just go for a skirt suit but skirt suits seem much more formal to me.

I found an awesome Jones New York suit online that had pants with different lengths but it was black. I want grey or blue.

Here is the other issue, I have a long torso and normal length arms so petite jacket will not work. Also, in misses, you have to size up for petite pants so a size 16p is really equal to a size 14 and many brands I've been seeing have 14p or possibly 16p as their largest size when an 18p is probably where I'd be or a 16 short.

Where can I look for 16short or 18petite pant suit separate that would have a matching non petite jacket?

I'm going to hit Nordstrom Rack but searching online has been frustrating.

JC Penny and Macy usually have mix and match separates, but they may still need to be tailored.
