Tulle Shawl Collar Belted Jacket | XS | $58

Like many other petite women in their 20s, I felt there was a lack of stylish petite clothing and general advice both online and in other media. I wanted to bring a sense of community to petites like myself, and a sense of awareness to the fashion industry at large. We’re petites, but we’re not your momma’s petites! We’re trendy, chic and there are a lot of us out there!

What size / how tall are you?

I’m 5′3″ tall and wear a size 8 dress. I’m a curvy petite.

I shop all over. Currently, I’m loving my petite jeans from Wal-Mart (yes, Wal-Mart — the “George” line often has some great petite items), my winter jacket from Fairweather Canada (they seem to carry jackets with a variety of sleeve lengths and shoulder widths), and my basic black skirt from Reitmans (they usually have a decent petite section). A similar skirt to the one I picked up at Reitmans is the Banana Republic wool pencil skirt. Online, I’m about to buy my first pair of jeans from Delias.com - they carry jeans in inseam lengths as short as 26″ and have great prices for thrifty petites like myself. The Tulle online shop also has a great petite friendly cropped jacket.

Do you have a favorite clothing line?

I don’t really have a favorite clothing line at present. I purchase fashion items from a variety of sources and always shop by appeal (gotta love it at first sight!), fit, and price, in that order.
