The queen of crazy prints and wrap dresses loves to design in a stretchy silk jersey, that in size 0, is often cut very small! I picked up a few DVF silk jersey dresses at Barney’s Warehouse Sale (for $50 vs. full retail of $345!), and each one was so incredibly tiny, I even briefly considered sizing up! Wrap dresses are usually a good bet for a tiny petite because the garment can be wrapped tightly around even the tiniest of waists. T…

…s. Petite plaid houndstooth wide-leg pant (way too wide for tiny legs!) Jeans: Forget it! BR jeans run big all over. The waist, thigh, and leg are always huge on me. I’ll pay for premium denim that fits WAY better any day! Dresses and Skirts: BR dresses and skirts in PXS and P00 run about 1 size too big. On dresses, I find the shoulders a little big, and the chest seaming too low, so the girls are never where they should be. The sides usually …

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 Nordstr…

Shopping in Bloomingdales the other day, I happened upon a new section freshly stocked with cute, girly dresses that all looked itty bitty hanging on the racks. A group of sales associates were hovering around, commenting on how cute and tiny the dresses looked, and how the merchandise had just been put on the sales floor.

Proportions play a major role, as well as personal modesty levels (the d…

Wrap dresses and tops are a petite girls best friend! The genius of a wrap is that…well…it can be wrapped around the tiniest of waistlines! Wraps allow tiny, thin petites who usually can’t fit into a brand or clothing line, find something that works for them. I love wraps, and look for them wherever I go. That’s why Diane von Furstenberg is on my list of designers to check out in every store I go to…she’s the …
