Us petite California gals are lucky. We have a bevy of great, petite fashion designers, entrepreneurs and trendsetters in our fair state. And I must say, it’s incredible how we’ve surfaced and spoken out — and the fashion industry answering with collections designed especially for our smaller frames.

In honor of us and the niche industry we’ve helped shape, I’d like to give all of my petite golden-state sistas a special shout out! I’m thrilled with the wealth of petite-everything out there, so I’ve giving them their own serafina page.

I’ve started the list, but I need your help. Am I missing anyone? Anyone new I should know about? Email me: info AT serafinablog DOT com!
