…of treasures there too. And now there’s one more reason to love tjmaxx.com…petites! Just launched in early April, the petite offering is available exclusively at tjmaxx.com with selections from a diverse range of styles and brands you’ve grown to love and expect from the retailer. I saw some petite well-known designer denim on there the first time I popped in, but I see some lucky petites already snatched those up! Things can move quickly! I eager…

…s to shop for your petite clients? There are the obvious common ones, like Banana Republic, Ann Taylor, and Ann Taylor LOFT. Some other ones I really like that are perhaps a little less commonly frequented are French Connection, Theory and Mackage. The dress I’m wearing right now is actually French Connection and where normally I wear a 0, this is a 2 and fits me perfectly. These brands run smaller all around, not just in the length, so it’s bette…
…uld make it go away. Run away from these as soon as possible. These Banana Republic Petite Martin Fit pants in size Petite 00 tricked me. The waist wasn’t that big, and I thought with an easy waist alteration and leg/thigh slimming, these would work. However, my tailor took one look at these and said, “no way, the fit in the front is all wrong”. If you take a look at the front/crotch and inner thigh area, there is a bagginess and wrinkling that ac…

…stores starting next spring. First up is this shirt, which is part of the Banana Republic non-iron shirt collection (my personal favorite shirts to shop). I remember a similar shirt that I missed out on a few seasons ago, so I’m happy to see it return in the non-iron fabric. It doesn’t come in petite, so I didn’t notice it online until Wendy wore it the last time we met up. After peppering her with questions, I was surprised to hear it fit so wel…
…FOR ITEMS ABOVE: 1. NORDSTROM | 2. BANANA REPUBLIC | 3. ANTHROPOLOGIE | 4. BANANA REPUBLIC It’s officially spring and stores are stocking up on new merch left and right. Here are a few new arrivals in petite sizes that have caught my eye (with a few I plan to pick up for myself) for the month of March. 1. This real leather cropped jacket has trench details which makes it more unique than your run of the mill leather. The color isn’t my cup of tea,…

…ind 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…
…ts about how I shrink clothing. It seems like the best skirt length for us petites is ABOVE the knee, even if just a little – would you agree with that? A: My short answer is: yes, generally the best skirt length for petites is above the knee, even if just a smidgen so. My long answer is: your best skirt length is which ever one you feel most comfortable in, and works best for your lifestyle. Also, your body type plays a big role, which can effect…
