Review – Short Story Petite Clothing Subscription Box

…– petite size XSP (fits like XXSP) Kyle High Rise Slim Fit Ankle Skinny – petite size 0P Same petite jean, but now let’s look at this cardigan.

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?

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.
