I like it bc it has sentimental value. Im in my early 20s
I have a concert where I’ll have to stand for hours and don’t want to wear flats, I was thinking converse. I also have black combat boots but don’t think those will keep me comfy. And since it’ll likely be a cooler day, what about those black stockings below that have those kinds of sheer designs?
I need good quality, tough work wear. Carhartt dosent fit unless it’s a boys 12. I have purchased their Carhartt women’s line but the pants and even belt do not fit. I am looking to get fitted women’s work clothes that is hardy and tough. No budget. Just need quality.
Hi everyone! I’m looking for a suit that fits off the rack and it’s proving rather difficult. I’m 4’11” so the hardest measurements to match are trouser inseam and blazer sleeve length. My experience has been that if I find pants short enough, the brand doesn’t have a petite blazer so the sleeves are too long (Aritzia). Or vice versa. Has anyone else had this issue? Any input is appreciated :) thanks y’all!
Hi, I’m 4’10 and struggling to find a good pair of jeans. I don’t want to go for skinny jeans and not really baggy ones either as they make me look like a schoolboy.
Hi . I’m 5”4 100 pounds with a 24 inch waist and 32 inch hips. I wear size XXS in dresses, skirts, and tops. However, i wear a size 6 in jeans and I just don’t understand this. Shouldn’t I wear a size 0 because of my waist? Is it because of my hips and butt size? It makes no sense how i’m a size small in pants and size XXS in everything else

I wear size 2 in kids shoes(I'm in my mid-twenties) and I'm getting married soon and I want to surprise my fiancé by wearing Pleasers (yes the clear str!pper shoes) bc he(and I) love them! Does anyone know where to get Custom made shoes for small footed women/people?? Thank you(:
Hi everyone, I am trying to find a formal white jumpsuit for my college graduation! I am 4'9. I also prefer it being affordable (under $70), When it comes to pants, im usually a size 00 in asos petite for reference. I tried looking into asos petite jumpsuits, but there were none in my size or style
E.g will a midi skirt be slightly shorter at size 6 than at a size 8?
Hi,
For those in Europe, where are you buying your long wool coats from as petite sized? Everything I find/like online are North America based stores (like Aritzia, Banana Republic etc.) that either don't deliver or require custom fees. For reference, I am looking for a 100% wool long coat priced below 500 that won't swallow me as someone who is 5 1".
Thank you!
I found this vintage jacket from Reversible resale marketplace and I really like it. I’m small bodied and it would be a little oversize on me and I was wondering if it would be better if I resized it to fit or even if that is possible at all. The oversize look isn’t bad, I’m just trying to consider options.
The title might sound worse than it is. I've been wearing some 5 year old cheap Amazon leggings that are coming apart at the seams. I never buy anything for myself or treat myself because bills come first. I can't even rest on the weekends because I feel like there's always something that needs to be done! I never treat myself so my husband said, "You're buying leggings for yourself this week! No 'buts'. You need some! These are falling apart!" I honestly haven't really bought clothes for myself since 2019.
Anyway, I'm not a fan of Lululemon leggings simply because, as a 31 year old, I was annoyed by all the girls when I was in college wearing them lmao. So I don't want Lululemon. I've never bought expensive leggings but I'd like some options. I don't know what brands are "in", you could say. What are some good leggings brands out there?
✨ Edit ✨ Thank you all so much for the recommendations! I've made a list of the brands y'all told me about but today, I ended up ordering Aerie leggings! I told my mom about my post and now she's making me place an order for Athleta leggings. She wants to try them! 😅 My next leggings purchase will FOR SURE be Athleta! 💞

Anyone know where to buy chunky / platform oxfords or loafers for small feet? Like size 4ish US (~21cm). Most shoes start at 5 so it’ll probably have to be kids size 😅
Due to unforeseen circumstances, I’ve lost all my winter clothing, spare a few hoodies. I’m in desperate need of an entire new wardrobe but on a limited budget. I live in the Sierras of California, so the winter can get pretty rough here. I also ski, so I’ll need a new petite friendly ski suit too. I’ve already picked out a few pieces from Parks Project, but I’m curious where my fellow petites shop for things like this!
I’m looking for a brand that is inexpensive as I have now switched from a size 0 to a size 2 to a size 4 now in just over a year.
Do yall have any fashion/makeup tips on how to look a little older? I am 19 and was mistaken for 13 today.
I'm petite (hourglass frame) and a casual dresser. I don't ever need to dress up for work so I never wear suits and have none. I got invited to a fancy roundtable dinner event and I will need to dress business formal.
The last time I wore a suit was for an interview years back and I was lucky at the time to find a two-piece charcoal pant suit that fitted me perfectly but I need to buy something fresh. I prefer to wear pants because as far as skirts go, only short skirts really suit me, and this is not the place for that! lol
Does anyone have any recommendations for tidy pant suits that look sharp and fitted and don't look dowdy? I'm brunette and fair skinned if that helps. Appreciate ANY help!
I'm 46 years old, 5'3", approximately 145-150 lbs, 32DDD bust, and around 40" at my hips. 29-30" waist. It is so hard to find petite clothing that fits my hourglass shape, and when I do find something decent online, my size is almost always out of stock (MP or 10P, most often). Do I just buy regular/misses and have them tailored? What do you do?
I work from home - I have since March 2020 - and I'm almost never on camera, so I don't really ever need to dress nicely. About to go on vacation the week of New Year's to a luxury resort in Miami where I can't wear my mainstay t-shirts, shorts, hoodies, and jeans, and it's so hard to find dressier clothing that's age-appropriate.
Why can't more clothing lines cater to petites, especially curvy petites? I'm so frustrated.
This is the best day to be short! Regardless of age, no one would be suspicious or judge us as we would look like any other shy quiet kid dressed as a cute little ghosts
I have my skirt pinned on the side here, but otherwise this is the fit I'm looking for! Does anyone have recommendations for petite friendly business casual clothing brands, especially for pencil skirts? I've heard Zara has good options, but I don't always like their options 😖
I love to wear dresses but I don’t like to show my arms, however I struggle to find jackets that don’t hide the dress completely or make me feel bulky. Would this style be a good choice? Anywhere from a casual dress to more formal. Thank you!
