Review – Short Story Petite Clothing Subscription Box

…er my ankle lengths a tad shorter than this, so I’d end up getting these hemmed if I were to keep. Items: Texture & Thread Front Knot Jacquard Top – non-petite size XXS Porto Striped Ponte Pants – petite size 0P Here we have the single item sent to me not in a petite size. As soon as I tried on this top, I could immediately feel the difference in fit. The sleeve and length could both stand to be a tad shorter, but let’s be real…I wear way more ove…

In Memoriam: Saks Fifth Avenue Petite Department

…ir petite departments back in 2006. This article from the New York Times summed the situation up quite nicely. High end department stores did not see brisk sales in their petite departments due to what most petite women will tell you is the main problem with petite clothing…it’s frumpy and ugly!

Petite Fit Guide: Improper Fit of Regular Size Jeans on a Petite Woman

…y, however, when I pointed out to them how my regular size jeans (that I hemmed to wear with heels) are improperly proportioned for my petite size, they both looked at their own jeans and were surprised to find the same thing happening to themselves! I’m very guilty of this improper fit offense, because I’ve yet to find a fit in petite jeans that I like better than the fit of my regular size Paige Premium Denim, so I deal with this, but it still b…

Why Must They Put Petite Jeans on Tall Models?

…oots that means less sales would get offered and at the end of the day our members are looking for those sales to happen. So we compromise, jeans look cropped on the standard size model BUT we have more fabulous sales on the site!! Thank you for the response Gilt Groupe!

Fit Review Friday – J.Crew Fall Arrivals in Size Petite 000 & XXXS

Also, I’ve been looking for…

Q&A: Petite Stylist – Trina Gupta

…stores or brands 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 lengt…
