How strange that some petite lines by designers are only available at certain department stores…and usually only at Nordstrom. For instance, did you know Burberry makes petite coats? But you won’t find them on the Burberry website or boutiques…where you will find them is on nordstrom.com or in Nordstrom stores…weird huh?
Well, the same goes for the BCBG Max Azria petite dresses that I tried on recently in my local Nordstrom store. The labels actually say “petite”, so these have even smaller proportions than the regular BCBG sizes. You won’t find the petite sizes in BCBG boutiques, and I have never seen separates in petites, so it looks like dresses are my only option for now.
Lots of people tell me BCBG runs small, and stress the fact they have a tiny size XXS. Well, they aren’t quite that small because I have never found a size XXS at BCBG that has fit me well enough to justify purchasing it. However, the BCBG petite dresses at Nordstrom are pretty tiny, and I plan to keep my eye on new styles for one that strikes my fancy!
Here are some BCBG Max Azria petite dresses in size XS I found at Nordstrom, and are available online:
BCBG Max Azria Floral Matte Jersey Wrap Dress Petite size XS, $158, nordstrom.com This wrap dress has by far the best fit.
BCBG Max Azria Floral Matte Jersey Dress Petite size XS, $160, nordstrom.com Still a bit big in the torso, and neckline is a bit low.
BCBG Max Azria Empire Waist Print Jersey Dress, $148, nordstrom.com
