It’s easy to think that high fashion isn’t aimed at petite ladies, particularly after watching six-foot-something models strutting their stuff at fashion week – however, there have never been more options available. Petite is big business – style icons Cheryl Cole, Sarah Jessica Parker and Nicole Richie (to name but a few) have put petite style on the map – and straight into designers’ Look Books. There’s so much available by way of Petite Denim, with some styles designed exclusively for petite sizes – buying jeans only to have them shortened will become a thing of the past. Skirts and trousers, too, are available in specific petite styles – not only to combat the problem of ill-fitting and oversized pieces – but also designed with the smaller frame in mind. Tops and dresses, too, are designed with you petite ladies in mind, with bust, sleeves and waist all nipped in especially. Jackets and coats, once upon a time worn rolled up at the sleeve and pulled in with a belt, are now made in a huge variety of styles, specifically for the smaller frame. Lingerie is now available in petite sizes; enjoy a greater range of bra sizes without compromising an inch on style. The huge range of petite clothing available leaves taller ladies seriously envious of your petite frames and fabulous wardrobes... go ahead... enjoy!
