So thankful for the trendy brand suggestions. For some reason designers think petite women are either 90 years old or a soccer mom.

Manufacturers are still not getting it, they're making their petite clothes for 5'4" which is still too tall. That's not petite. They need to be for 5'2" and under. I still have to hem the so-called petite trousers.

My heart broke when Petite Sophisticate stores closed. Everything fit perfectly . Never needed altering .💔

It’s easier to buy clothes if you weigh 300 lbs than if you weigh 114 lbs. Petite clothes have become nearly impossible to find in ATL.

Hi, new subscriber here. I’m Asian, almost 5 feet and is over 70 years young. I love to wear nice clothes that make me look in fashion but no teeny bopper. I mostly shop at Macy’s in their petite department, I favor Charter Club, Inc, Style brands. Their size 6S pants fit me perfectly and their petite small tops. Since my weight stay the same between 105-110 lbs, , I’ve collected a number of nice clothes from them. I’ve added blue jeans from Gap (6short) for bowling leagues and casual weekends plus those from Macy’s. I highly recommend those brands I mentioned purchased years ago and still wear.

I’m 4’ 11” and I’m so happy to have found your channel.

[mindorenaful]

Thank you so much for these recommendations! I’m 4’11” Asian, over 40. Discovered ASOS during the pandemic and have had some luck with them, but I will be happy to check out these sites! Thanks a bunch

Trying to find winter coats and trench coats is near impossible for the petite

[tianiemitchell]

One of my perks is, that I can sew and I can Taylor my clothes that's helpful.
And you're right the regarding clothing I alter everything I buy.

I am 5’1 and still have a hard time finding pants/jeans that are the right length. That’s because my legs are short. Most petite models are 5’3 - 5’4 and have long legs. My sister is 5’3 and has really long legs. Most people think that she is much taller than she is. My inseam is 25. My sisters is 29! Leg length makes a big difference even when you’re petite.

I very much appreciate your content, and practical advice. Talbots used to be my go-to years ago for professional clothes - lovely woolens, silks, natural fibers, rich colors. Once you knew your size, it was consistent through the designs, season to season. I had suits from the ‘90s where 30 years later the fabric and stitching was pristine (though the big-shoulder styles dated) . No longer, unfortunately. The fabric is cheap, clothing poorly made, garish colors. The only thing I buy anymore are their cashmere and athlesure slacks. Very frumpy. Sigh…..

I Actually bought size 12 regular (not petite) CROPPED pants and they fit perfectly.

[lauriepowell]

So manyt mall stores are going out of business because of increased on line ordering. I have had bad luck with fit recently with online products, so I am going back to in store shopping.
Thanks for the timely information.

[grettalemabouchou]

In the late 70s....I worked at the GREAT AMERICAN SHORT STORY. We were in the mall and I enjoyed it tremendously.

[michelebrotman]

I have two absolutely gorgeous pointelle sweaters I purchased from Sezane last winter. I wear with faux leather or jeans and they are so beautiful . Not aging at all.

[annemarieritchie]

Dillard's has a pretty good petite department. I almost always find something I want.

[jillya]

So glad to have these online petite recommendations. i ordered from an online retailer some trendy wide leg jeans, beautifully cut, but did not fit. I tried two sizes, but it was a no-go

[oceanblue]

I shop at Banana Republic and Ann Taylor coz they offer Petite sizes which fit me well. 😄

[mjlucchi]

Thank you! I’m so glad I discovered your informative video. Even though I am willing to pay more for higher quality, made in the USA (if possible) clothing, the fit problem has plagued me all my life. I’m 5’0” and learned to alter my own things because I’ve been so displeased with several alteration shops. What a pain and not often worth it. I will definitely give these recommendations a try. I look forward to viewing your other videos!

Thank you for the great suggestions.
My favorite brand is Brooks Brothers, Petite section.
