Andrea asked:


I saw in a Seventeen magazine, that for petite girls like me that it would be cute if you wore boy clothes from the boy section @ Abercrombie instead of the girls section.
I’m also about 5′0 and not fat just normal sized for a girl like me.

I never understood why clothing advertisments only advertise clothes for petite women? Why is this?

I never understood why retailers such as The Gap, Old Navy, and other famous retailers advertise clothing with small models when they sell larger sizes such as 14-16 for women also, so why don’t they have those women modeling the clothes as well? I love Gap clothes, but can’t stand the fact that they don’t show recognition for those who don’t wear a size 0-10 or whatever sizes they advertise!

I am 4’ 9” and wear a size 0, I have always found it hard to find clothing that are my size and I usually just shop in the kids sections of stores. I was wanting to know if anyone out there has the same problems and where do you shop for your clothes. I want casual clothing, such as jeans, jackets and tops that are form fitting and flattering. Thanks for the help.
Thanks for your advice, but I have shopped these stores and it I always have to have these clothes tailored. I spend $100’s of dollars a year to my tailor. That is the delima that I was trying to avoid.

Kate F asked:


I’m 5′0 and I have a hard time finding clothes that look good on me. I have an idea of what does look good, but I do not know where to find clothes in my size. Shopping in the petites section of a department store makes me feel like an old lady (I’m in my 20s!) and often the pants/skirts are too long anyway. I would like to look professional, yet fashionable.
