Petite Proportions Are Not Always Created Equal

…longer modest, and actually shows my bra. The shoulder width, torso width, and length are all proportioned well, but I bet the neckline fits much better on a woman closer to 5’3″. Even with the availability of sizes as small as XXS petite at stores like Banana Republic and Ann Taylor, they still aren’t proportioned to fit a woman quite so small. And if this is how a garment fits a woman of 4’11”, which is technically a height that has been taken i…

…14.75″ Rise: 8.25″ Thigh: 8″ Inseam: 27″ Leg Opening: 5″ J.Crew Collection Petite Leather Ryder Pant // Size Petite 000 I don’t believe I’ve ever seen a petite leather pant before, so I had to order these as soon as I saw them.

This color is absolutely gorgeous and the main reason why I’m tempted…

Sneak Peek – Ann Taylor LOFT Fall 2010

…y first ever “fashion event”. The geek that I am, I dressed in my favorite Ann Taylor LOFT outfit, brought my gigantic DSLR camera, little point-and-shoot, and tried my best to pretend like I wasn’t completely lost or clueless. While waiting in the valet line at the Chateau Marmont, I watched all these well dressed young women step out of cars…with no gigantic cameras in sight. So, again, I’m a geek, and chickened out at the last minute about brin…

My shirts and blazers measure between 13″ and 14″ in the shoulder, so the junior 14″ hanger was a better fit for my wardrobe. Here’s a comparison of the much better fitting 14″ hanger (I chose the walnut color) to the velvet…
