Petite White House | Black Market – Fit Review Friday

…Note: White House | Black Market offers free shipping and returns on their petite items. On to the review… White House | Black Market Petite Herringbone Coat // Size xxsp *Just went on sale!

It’s a cocoon coat, which is a shape I haven’t really tried on my frame before, so I was apprehensive when I firs…

Fit Review Friday – J.Crew Denim Jackets in Size Petite XXXS (& Comparison to AEO Version)

…heir regular sizing lineup, and this season they’ve begun rolling out it’s petite counterpart, size petite xxx-small. Whether you call it vanity sizing or not (there are so many x’s, I kept having to count every x I typed while writing this post…safe to say I consistently kept missing an x!), I’m pretty happy about it!

Dresses That Run Small: BCBG Max Azria Petites

…a petite dresses that I tried on recently in my local Nordstrom store. The labels actually say “petite”, so these have even smaller proportions than the regular BCBG sizes. You won’t find 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…

Review: J.Crew Petite Schoolboy Blazer in Wool Flannel

…ndown: Pros: – Style, fabric, color and details I’ve been searching for. – Petite sizing, so the proportions are right for my height. – I love it and it would get a lot of wear. Cons: – Needs to have torso and sleeves slimmed. – Fully lined and odd side seam placement makes alterations costly. – Still full price. This blazer retails for $188, and with the added cost of alterations (I’m going to guess a cost of $100), I’m looking at about a $300 bl…
