The Petite Shopper

Advice and Information for Petite Women

What clothing stores or brands can you recommend for me?

Jamie asked:


I’m pretty petite and I have very small hips, but I’m also fairly busty and have trouble finding clothing that accommodates my bust while still being form-fitting. I’m young and I want relatively young looking clothes, but nothing too flashy or anything with the store name on every item of clothing in the store (like Aeropostale or Abercrombie and Fitch). I also don’t like babydolls or tunics, so don’t direct me to stores that sell nothing but those (like Delia’s). I can’t afford to spend a lot of money on clothing, so nothing too pricy, please (like Abercrombie, Hollister, and Nordstrom’s). Basically, I like to dress conservatively, but I don’t want to look like I’m fifty.

I usually wear a size 00, 00P, or kids’ size 14 in pants, and 4, 6, 6P, 8, or 8P in shirts and dresses (I usually only end up buying the bigger sizes to accommodate my bust and they’re often too loose around the waist). My measurements are 36-26-33 and I am five feet and half an inch tall.
