The Petite Shopper

Advice and Information for Petite Women

My daugter is very petite. She needs a dress for a dance?

Renee N asked:


She wears 00 size jeans. She is tall. The problem is the stores like Forever21, Rue 21 and all the mall stores only carry size small and they are too big. If we go to the kids department, they all look like babies. Does anyone have a suggestion where we can get a dress for a semi-formal dance? She is in 8th grade and don’t want anything to revealing, but nothing out of a the kids department either.

    OMG I so know what you’re going through!
    I have the exact same prob.
    And good news, it NBD(no big deal)
    Just take her to her fav store, let her pick her fav dress and afterwards take the dress to a trusted tailor who can alter the dress to fit her perfectly* She’ll rock the party

    You may just have to buy a dress and have it altered. A pain I know, but I’m very thin too and I’ve just about given up trying to find clothes that fit well off the rack. Alterations are pretty inexpensive.

    THis is a little bit expensive, but they are amazing. You can wear them all the time.

    Try Juicy Couture! I personally love it! The sizes come in petit…

    Here is the link to all the dresses. I LOVE THEM!

    Good Luck!

    try going to the outlet
    maybe they have stores like max studio, bcbg, or betsey johnson
    dresses are pretty cute
    their styles are like forever 21
    if you cant just buy something from forever 21 and wear leggings under
    macys?
    or if you have time, you can get it altered
    i know how she feels!
