J.Crew Petite Coats – Lady Day and Stadium Cloth Peacoat

…same boring outfit underneath. =P When this coat was highlighted on Extra Petite, I had to take advantage of the sale J.Crew had going on and give it a try. I love the look of J.Crew coats, and would love to add a few to my wardrobe. I’ve also come to the realization that I need more casual coats to survive the winter, especially now that I have little Clinton, who needs to be walked, rain or shine, even if it’s unbearably frigid outside. So, I c…

Petite Fashion Challenge: A Petite "Don’t"

…k these work for two reasons: 1) They are a neutral color, similar to my skin tone, so they don’t stand out too much. 2) I have a short torso and long legs, so it’s harder to make my legs look stumpy, petite or not. It’s all about body type!

Why Must They Put Petite Jeans on Tall Models?

…s sales on the site!! Thank you for the response Gilt Groupe! I still wish petite models could be used to model petite clothing, because ultimately, I want to see how the garment will look on short little me, not cropped and awkward on a taller model. However, I understand, and am sympathetic towards the problems of financial allocation and time logistics, and I do enjoy the fix of a good Gilt Groupe sample sale or two (or three!). If Gilt Groupe…

Q&A: Petite Stylist – Trina Gupta

…wever I also have clients on either end of the spectrum – i.e. the size 00 petites and the plus-size petites. There’s a solution for everyone but sometimes it requires a little creativity! Have you ever dressed a celebrity? I’ve dressed people in the entertainment business who are actors or actresses for awards ceremonies and events like that but A-list celebrities aren’t a part of my clientele. I prefer styling non-celebrities because the styling…

J.Crew Petite 9″ High Rise Toothpick Jean Review

…this gorgeous distressed charcoal wash, I gave them a try. I ordered the J.Crew Petite 9″ High-Rise Toothpick Jean in Charcoal Wash, size 23 petite, and my measurements can be found here for reference. Full-Length: With An Ankle-Cuff: Expecting a skinny jean, I found these to fit like more of a straight leg, which wasn’t quite what I was looking for. Aside from that, this is a really great pair of jeans… The Petite Fit – this is the best part of t…

Sweater Weather (and J.Crew Petite Sweaters)

…ping in, and I can finally bring this J.Crew petite merino cardigan out. J.Crew has made petites for a while now, but new this season are petite sweaters. Also new this season is the return of the short, grandpa style v-neck cardigan! These things have just kept getting longer and longer every season, but this year J.Crew made me very happy with two short versions…one in cashmere and one in merino. Cropped v-neck cardigans are my favorite for a fe…

Review: Gap 1969 Jeans in Size Petite 00

…opes one might work. First up, the Sexy Boot Jean, in Saturated Wash, size Petite 00: Jeans: Gap Sexy Boot, size Petite 00 Top: H&M, size XS Shoes: Cole Haan Genevieve Open Toe Pumps, size 5 These were the best fit out of the whole group. The waist was decent, the rise was nice and low, and the length was perfect on me (I have REALLY long legs for my height, so I luck out with petite length pants…they’re usually perfect with heels). What I didn’t…
