KH asked:


Since I’m only 5′ 3” I need maternity pants and bottoms that are petite or short length. I’ve found some at Motherhood Maternity but the less expensive stores, like Kohls and Target, don’t seem to carry petite maternity clothes. It’s an additional pain to have to get these pants hemmed. Do you know of a place where I can find petite/short length maternity bottoms at a reasonable price? Thanks!

P.S. My tops are XL so I don’t need smaller overall, just shorter!

I assure you this business will fit all your needs. Please give me as much detail as possible that you would like to see more of while shopping and in what areas that you live in.
All of your answers are everything that I have a hard time finding in one area or another. I also feel that I am headed in the right direction with my line because this is exactly what I notice about petite clothing for everyone. No matter what your size, I will keep you looking good. You are right a lot of clothing are expensive and not enough casual wear for the weekend. That will be one of my top lines. If you keep in touch @ petitefashions@yahoo.com you will be sure to see my clothing as soon as it comes available. I am working hard to get this done within a year. Thank you everyone for your response. They will NOT be ignored and you will know when my business is open. Take care.

Dressing the Petite Woman

Sarah Gray asked:


Are you a petite woman who finds shopping for clothes which fit, a real challenge? I am a petite woman and I used to find that being less than 5ft 3" meant that my size is not at the top of the manufactures lists!

 So, what changed? Well, since training as an Image Consultant, I am now fully equipped with rules & tools to enable me to select the right styles and put together my outfits appropriately for my size.

 Colour

All of use can use the key rule of wearing one colour from head to toe to create the illusion of height.  If you prefer to wear two colours, make sure the proportions are 2/3 to 1/3, with the lighter, brighter colour being the 1/3 at the top.

 Volume

Wearing bulky fabrics or those styles with large volume will only succeed in swamping the petite frame. So, ensure you avoid skirts & trousers with minimal volume.

 Prints

Smaller prints are far more flattering for petites. Large patterns will swamp you and give you the appearance of being larger than you actually are.

 Fabric weight

You need to ensure you balance the weight of fabric with your bone structure. If you have very fine fingers, narrow wrists and angles, you will need to keep to minimal texture in your clothing. You can layer your fabrics but make sure this is only done with fine to medium fabrics.

 Clothing details

Try to avoid clothing styles which have large details which run the risk of making you look like a clown!  Detailing such as pockets, buttons, collars, belts need to be kept in balance with your scale and height.  If you choose to wear a large accessory such as a necklace or belt as a statement piece, then you need to ensure it is the only piece and that the rest of the outfit must be kept simple.

 Tall & Petite

If you are petite in scale but are tall, you can tweak these rules slightly. With your height you will be able to wear more colour blocking. Layering can be achieved using heavier and more textured fabrics. A neat hairstyle is a must for a petite frame but if you are taller, you can opt for a fuller hairstyle. You will also be able to wear larger accessories without the worry of them being to large for your frame.

 If you are petite or if you face any other challenges when you are shopping for clothes, then why not treat yourself to a full Colour Me Beautiful Image Consultation. Your consultant will focus on your positive attributes and provide you with some easy to follow tips to abolish those challenges. You will also find out the best stores to find clothing which is appropriate for the petite woman.

 Or you could start your new journey by grabbing yourself a copy of Colour Me Confident, Colour Me Beautiful’s fantastic book. Colour Me Confident will guide you through your best colours & styles and shopping will likely never be a challenge again!

Clear Platform Shoes-a Guide

Monday, January 12th, 2009

Andrew asked:


Shoes are definitely an important element of women’s attire. Many ladies have a variety of shoes for every occasion. Some shoes are like comfortable old friends. Although the footwear is nothing spectacular to look at, the familiar comfort makes the pair a long-time favorite. Other shoes complete an outfit or are only suitable for certain activities. For instance, rock climbers would be unwise to wear sandals while ascending a mountain. More than just foot coverings, various shoe styles have specific purpose. Platform shoes are clearly no exception. **** clear platform shoes are professional, playful, and purposeful.

When most people consider **** clear platform shoes, a couple of occupations probably come to mind. **** clear platform shoes are popular in the nightclub setting. Scantily clad waitresses popularized the clear platform footwear for the optical illusion of being taller, with longer legs, and walking on air. However, walking on platform shoes takes some practice and finesse, so delivering snacks and drinks to waiting customers can be a challenge. Also, the shoes must have a level of comfort as well as beauty, or many women might go home with exceedingly sore feet, after wearing the **** clear platform shoes for an entire shift.

Another group of nightclub employees also have assisted in the popularization of **** clear platform shoes. Pole dancers and strip tease artists wear **** clear platform shoes in the performance of dancing and entertainment. Giving the impression of sexier, shapelier legs is a turn on for the people who frequent these establishments.

However, the need for **** clear platform shoes has taken on a playful purpose within the home. Generally, women prefer men stay at home for excitement, entertainment, and pleasure. By wearing **** shoes at home, women can playfully encourage men to satisfy, at home, the needs answered by participating in public nightlife. From head to toe, men are reminded that women are much more than the comfortable partners who take care of the house, the chores, and the children. **** clear platform shoes can help renew the excitement of first love, and the joy of being together before growing responsibilities got in the way. So, rise to the occasion and have feet dressed for fun.

Having the fun of wearing **** clear platform shoes is not only for the nightclub scene or an intimate night for two. The shoes are also a purposeful fashion statement. For example, many women are petite and must look up to the rest of humanity. No more! In six-inch platform shoes, women can instantly become a head taller in a fun and fashionable shoe. Seeing others eye-to-eye also builds self-esteem. During social gatherings, petite women no longer have to feel lost in the crowd. On romantic walks, short women are not doomed to be tucked into a partner’s armpit. For the women of average height, **** clear platform shoes are simply an awesome fashion statement. Platform shoes can be a conversation piece, complete a great outfit, or simply be fun.

In summary, **** clear platform shoes are a multipurpose style. Petite women, or women wanting to leave a lasting impression will find this particular shoe interesting. Being clear, the platform creates the illusion of walking on clouds or drifting through the crowd. Although the style likely first became popular with women working in nightclubs, the **** shoes also complete an alluring outfit for intimate encounters. Regardless of the reason, **** clear platform shoes are always a purposeful fashion statement.

GlassHalfFull asked:


I’m in my twenties, 5′ 2″, and wear a size 2. I’ve always just worn clothes from the juniors section, but now that I’m getting older, I’m looking for some more ‘mature’ looking outfits. But all of the stores with petite sections look like they’re for little old ladies!

Does anyone know where I can find cute petite clothes?
The money doesn’t matter, it can be any store or online.
