…as a little off about the sizing. Here it is in size Petite XXS: Cardigan: Banana Republic Ruffle Cardigan, size Petite XXS Top: H&M, size XS Jeans: Paige Premium Denim Blue Heights Low Rise Skinny, Size 23 (hemmed) Shoes: Cole Haan Grey Suede Almond Toe Pumps, size 5 The torso of this sweater is definitely running wide. Tsk tsk, this is no good. I like my sweaters nice and fitted, so back to the store it goes. Too bad, it had potential to be real…

…going down to petite 00. This is interesting in part because even regular Banana Republic stores are not carrying this size. Their petite sizing only goes down to a petite XS, with petite XXS only available online. I didn’t try any pants while I was there, because I haven’t had luck with BR pants in over a year. But I did pick up a couple of tops, and tried on a white dress shirt that I almost bought, but decided to pass on last minute. The tops…
…man, designed women’s fashions out of jersey (a fabric that was only used for menswear), and wore the clothing of coastal fishermen (the mariner stripes that today are synonymous with chic french women).

…usual, you can find my measurements for comparison here. On to the review… Banana Republic Petite Burgundy One-Button Blazer // Size 00p I’ve tried this blazer shape in the past that BR has been producing lately, and it’s been largely a fail on my height and body shape (I don’t think that crisp fabric helped either). Even given that track record, I had to give this one a shot because I’m never one to pass on a good burgundy tweed. Like it’s predec…
…wanted to try this blazer ever since I saw it paired with print shorts for Banana Republic’s Summer 2015 Presentation. I hoped if it came is petite, it would be a perfect slouchy top layer for spring and summer. Unfortunately, it’s a bit too oversized on my frame, and with it buttoned, I felt like Sponge Bob’s chambray-colored cousin. When I tried styling it in a more wearable way (left unbuttoned and pulled open, sleeves rolled and pushed up), th…
…, that’s not entirely true…I was elated to try it on…man, I love shopping! Banana Republic Petite Velvet Blazer, $152 $129.99 On me in size Petite 00: I know, I know, the picture is terrible, but bear with me. Why don’t they install photography studio lighting in fitting rooms? They really should don’t you think? Back to the subject at hand…I thought the jacket could use a little tailoring along the sides, but I could probably get away without it….

…ey from me today. -Kelly **Update** As some commenters suggested, I called Banana Republic customer service to ask about the navy blue in petite sizes. Customer Service said the navy blue in petite was never made for the online store, and size petite XXS does not exist in the store system. Bummer. =( Disclosure – Clicking or purchasing through the links in this post may yield commissions for AlterationsNeeded.com. See the Alterations Needed Disclo…

…ase anyone is interested while doing some shopping this three-day weekend. Banana Republic stores have some good deals not available online this weekend. Employees are giving away coupons at the door that could be worth 30%, 40% or 50% off your entire purchase (some exclusions apply). This was my exciting find this weekend…a small fitting, light weight cotton button-down. This button-down is unique in that it has a row of buttons down the middle o…
