I am 13 years old and am short and petite. I am a gymnast so I have muscular but thin legs. I am a 12-ish in Abercrombie kids jeans and I want to get Hollister jeans. Size 0S in their jeans are too big. Do they have a 00S???

It is just me or do clothing companies seem to assume that if you are PETITE or PLUS SIZE that you bad taste?

youfreeezemaiheart asked:


I’m a petite girl and I actually avoid the petite sections of stores most of the times because the clothing is so hideous!
I have noticed that for plus size girls (and have been told as well) that they go through the same thing where their clothing tends to be really plain and dull.
This is so unfair and it shouldn’t be expected that you have your clothing tailored or detailed or whatever just to make it look and fit decently and it should not be expected that you have to spend a fortune to get that from the start.
I know that Hollister and what not have clothing for petite girls, but I’m not into that style. Nothing against it, but it just isn’t for me.
Well, anyways…Who else knows what I’m talking about?
I mean, just because you are smaller or bigger than the average person doesn’t mean that you have no taste!

Chris9 asked:


I love juicy couture charms, but they average from 1 to 2 in size each. I’m 5′2 108 lbs and I’m afraid they’ll look humungous on me.

Realtorific asked:


My daughter is graduating from college and needs a business look.
The problem: She wears clothes size 0 petite, and shoes size 6 narrow and has flat feet. Dressing in business attire is impossible because we can’t find shoes and clothes to fit her. Anyone know some good websites for fashionable clothes shoes in small sizes at a reasonable price?

Does trench coat make you look more petite?

Friday, September 18th, 2009
notyet asked:


I am only 5′3” in height but I just found a really cute and reasonably priced trench coat. I wonder if I would look OK on small-sized person like me. By the way it’s about 3” above my knees. And also is trench coat a little too dressy to go to school with? Thanks.
I got it at Ross, just $20 (original price ’s $70) :D But you’ve got to go there alot in hope of getting a bargain.

HELP! I RLY want this bikini (top bottom) from Aeropostale (im petite w/ size XS) but they say its sold out!

Monday, September 14th, 2009
nernylicious asked:


I really need a bathing suit nd once I saw this bikini @ aero (it’s called Leilani Sliding Halter, Leilani Lowrider Bikini) I absolutely loved it! Well anyways, I’m a XS (very petite for a 15 yr old) and I went to the store where they tell me its sold out. It was the same online (except there’s XL) Where can I get this bathing suit cuz its not like regular clothes where even if they were sold out, you can get them at platos closet (cuz that would be gross). Plus, this bathing suit is supposed to be on sale for 2 for $20 so it also keeps me liking it money-wise.
This bathing suit will show the bikini TOP depending on the day (i’ll say every other day-maybe) but will only be a Large. I have seen bikinis at other stores with sorta the same style, but they are either too big (Old Navy w/ smallest size Small) or too expensive (Pac Sun w/ each peice @ $30 even though its currently on sale)
Here is the link to the bottoms:
http://www.aeropostale.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2888860cp=2284058.2183144view=allclickid=cat_leftnav_txtparentPage=family
(and maybe in a day or 2 the TOP will be shown under Aero also suggests:)

Is there a site that carries petite lingerie?

Wednesday, September 9th, 2009
lilbitz111783 asked:


I’m small, 4′11 and about 90 pounds. I need a site that carries petite lingerie, I’m not talking about bras and panties, I’m talking corsets, teddies, costumes. I’ve checked Victoria’s Secret and Fredericks and just am not finding small enough sizes. I wear an XS in the Victoria’s Secret stuff and I STILL have to alter it on my sewing machine. Anyone know of a good site?

What are the best brands of designer jeans for people with a REALLY short torso/no ****?

Monday, September 7th, 2009
mwhornad asked:


I have an extremely short torso, so jeans (and pants in general) come up wayyy to high on my waist, giving me the mom look, which I ****. I can never wear shirts tucked into my pants for the same reason - I just look stumpy, even though I am very small and wear a size 0 petite. What designers of jeans/pants work best for someone with my shape and proportions? I also have no butt, so it needs to be pretty snug in the rear.
