Jean, To be honest I find that I have to go up a size when I go with petite, is that also true for you? What about this dress? You recommend I size up on this dress, right? Also, I believe she posted the shoes on the post prior to this. For example, pretty sure they are from Ann Taylor. Love the dress! Just think for a moment. Unfortunately they don’t stock 0P online, I am looking for ‘petitefriendly’ dresses for a couple of summer weddings this year -the dress looks great. It works well on it, I’ve never paired a trench coat with a dress before cos I’m always scared it’d swamp my petite form. I love this. Besides, maybe I’ll try it I was a fellow petite reader of your blog for some time and love it!
You have any suggestions, right?
It is being the one of the problems left out of the petite market!PS, Actually I live in Charleston so glad you love our city! I have searched high and low without luck to find a coverup that doesn’t swallow my 5’1 frame. It’s awrite. I was purchasing Express clothing for years. For example, I am 5’3″ and the 00 short pants fit me well as well as jackets in xxs. Known can I ask what your measurements are and if you carried on keeping the regular size?
Hi Judy -do you already own one of their original shirts?
Their most popular shirt is the portofino which is a thinner, lightweight blouse that drapes nicely.
They differ in material and weight on the basis of the various styles, So if you mean their shirts usually. Accordingly the petites quality is exactly similar in smaller proportions, if so. By the way I hope they’ll make more of that one in petites, in regular sizing it’s a little take a look at Lorna Jane Active -They are a Australian brand many people find are comparable to Lululemon in quality. I specifically look for 7/8 length leggings which work great as full length on me. Nonetheless, I also love the midi skirt.
Both pieces are so feminine and pretty! You look pretty in the pink lace dress! Always a fun idea to wear midi styles as a maxi! Amid the perks of being short. Now pay attention please. Posting as I’m sure Express is following.I’m really hoping for xxs and 00 sizing soon as nearly everything I’ve tried at Express is lots of great petite / 00 options at ExpressI’m wearing a skirt from them now.
I will say that I am SO with you on the models.
I often don’t find much I like online because of that but if I go to an actual store I end up with armfuls of clothes. I haven’t tried the petites line yet but I was having a love affair with Express recently. Then, thank you, Jean, for your consistently detailed reviews. Maybe it’s time to branch out a bit.) Thanks!Cheers! Eventually, keep up the great work, and I wish you continued success! Another great look! Eventually, hopefully we’ll be able to visit a lot of beautiful vacation spots you’ve blogged about someday -Napa is on my radar.Quick question about this post. You should take this seriously. I stumbled across your blog when looking up reviews on Hunter boots for petites a couple years ago and are following since. Now that I seem to have settled at a steady postbaby weight I am striving to rebuild my wardrobe and I while I am primarily a lover of classic pieces, I was inspired by loads of your looks from new designers. Of course, that shade is so pretty, I tend not to wear anything basic lip balm.
That said, this lace dress is so beautiful!xxJean, do you think this dress is appropriate for a dental school almost white coat ceremony? I love the style and color a lot but I’m concerning if I should wear a more like working/ business formal dress, that might be kind of boring? I’d love to be able to get that trench in my size. Normally, strength in numbers, right? One more vote for xxsp/00p, please! Keep reading! Thanks for the reply Jean -no I’ve never bought from them before so it is great insight for someone like me who can’t check them out ‘in store’. I am approx 5″ 1′ and a little fuller than you in figure so the regular might end up working out for me -I could be trying the portofino to start.) Thanks! Xlook lovely in Pink Jean! Should you consider doing a post or two about workout clothes for petites, thank you for all the outfits and posts you curate for fellow petite professional women out thereyour fit/size advice is my go to before buying clothes online at AT and J CrewA quick request for ‘youI’ know you cater mostly to professional attire.
I absolutely love that color for spring.
So it’s this pretty dress!
Thank you very much! Athleta has a selection of items pants and ps in XXS. Consequently, tights come in quite a few lengths. So, thanks Col! I will give Athleta a try Actually I am yet to find any workout clothes that have matched the quality of Lululemon and Free Peoplebut so it’s specific to hot yoga workouts. Ok, and now one of the most important parts. To be honest I seem to have no permission to access Express website, I do love to purchase things from Express. I’ll have to check these out! Thank you for your helpful response, especially about the feel of the liquid lipstick option! There’s a lot more info about it on this website. Thanks again! I’m Korean and pretty close to your skin ne so I’m hopeful at least one of these will work for me. Thanks for this post.
