I ♥ SCREAMING asked:


What clothes should I buy. I have a really low budget, like it can’t be anything expensive. I am not preppy at all so I guess you could say I have a kinda Girly punky style. I am petite. I have red blonde hair. And brown eyes and a light complexion. Thanks
if you could make me cheap outfits that would be really cool!
ohh and please no items over about 16$

Vermount asked:


Petite must be for size 1-2, but not for obese teens or chubby girls.
To make costumers happy? :) For those who dont believe, go to France and you will see. France is country of not obese women. Just like all Europe. Petite sizes is for thin nice women there.
No, i have never see Petite size in America less than 3-5. Petite means chubby here. :)

I’m 27 and 4′11 and I have a hard time finding instyle cothes to fit my short frame. The main problem I have is pants being too long or the clothes look like there for old ladys (sorry). I want to dress to my taste. I like rock music and want to be trendy. Any help would be great thanks!

I love to shop the clearance racks, but most petites go high.or are hard to find in my size. (I’m 5′1) I can find jeans for a good price in the girls dept, or junior dept. that fit well, but I’m almost 50 years and don’t really like dressing like a little girl or teen.

PeTiTe_Mummy asked:


I’m 23 and 1.56m tall. I dont want to look like mutton dressed as lamb but I dont seem to find ANYTHING that fits me. I also dont want to spend a fortune cuz im widening every week and its ridiculous to buy something to wear just once.

John Redcorn asked:


my fiance is 4″8′ and tells me she has the hardest time shopping for clothes. and now that we’re getting married, we’re going to buy some nice clothes for all the photos we’ll take leading up to the wedding, and we also want to look good on our honeymoon… if we can drag ourselves out of bed long enough… hehe!

anyways, where are some good places to shop for her clothes, and do you find that it works out better to get certain tops at one store and bottoms at another? i know some women do that, that’s why i ask.

i tried to ask her where she shops but she wont tell me, i think it’s because she has to go to the juniors sections sometimes.

ive heard victoria’s secret is a good place to shop for petite sizes, and that banana republic and gap are good too, (although seeing the way she likes to dress does not lead me to believe she prefers those two stores.) i think shes more of a trendy “hollister/american eagle” type of dresser.

any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
she’s 4″8′
110 lbs.
with a full 36B

i hope those measurements help you know her size.

fairylover asked:


I am really frustrated! I will be moving to NY to work in an office in Manhatten, and I need nice work clothes. I weigh about 85 pounds and wear a size 2 shoe, so shopping is NOT fun for me! I usually have to shop in the little girls dept. but nothing ever fits right, I’m 29, so my body type is way diffrent than a childs!! I have shopped in petite sections too, but still, I may find pants that almost fit in the waist but are way too long.I’ve bought things and had them tailored too,but they still don’t seem to sit on my body right. I don’t even want to mention how hard it is to find comfortable shoes in a size 2 w/o cinderella on them or something!!I’m sorry I’m babbling!! Any suggestions on how I can look professional in and find clothes that fit would really help me out!! I can’t afford to have everything tailored either, I mean I just got a great job in NY, but I’m not there yet!! Please Help!! Thank you!! What I really need are pant/skirt suits,they don’t make those for lil girls
