Tiny Skirt: Rag and Bone

by AlterationsNeeded on February 17, 2009

Rag & Bone Pencil Skirt II, retail $295, Abercrombie & Fitch Sweater, Cole Haan Shoes This skirt fits p…

Wrap Dress: Rag and Bone

by AlterationsNeeded on March 19, 2009

My interest in the brand Rag & Bone was piqued when I found a very slim fitting pencil skirt, so I began checking them out to see what else they had to offer the tiny petite gals of the world. Perusing the Rag & Bone racks at Saks Fifth Avenue, I found another great little number. One of my favorite things to find are wrap dresses. Extra points if they are made in a beautiful fabric. Rag & Bone did both for me with this little gem…

Brand that Sometimes Runs Small: Banana Republic Petites

by AlterationsNeeded on September 14, 2008

…n are of this variety. For example, this top fit me fantastically! Petite sleeveless tie-neck top (rayon/spandex) Jackets: I’ve found a few blazers in P00 that have worked me, and each one has had the word “stretch” on the label. Go figure, since the stretchy fabric garments are cut smaller right? Look for things that say “stretch”, and there’s a chance it’ll fit. Pants: Just like with the jackets, the P00 pants that have the word “stretch” so…

Last time I found a very tiny Rag & Bone skirt in size 24, so keep an eye out for them as well. There are no dressing rooms, so wear a tight fitting camisole and either leggings or a skirt to make trying on clothing in front of mirrors in public view…
