On Tuesday, InStyle for Nine West held a fall launch event in Toronto’s tony Yorkville area. Going into the party, I knew that it was unlikely going to find anything that fit – that’s the issue I have with shoe shopping – I have a very small foot (size 4 1/2 or 5, usually), which […]
Adela Mei, run by Stacy Leung and Sasha Moyer, is a California-based, online boutique with a very special focus – petite women under 5’4″. While their pieces are, for the most part, NOT petite-exclusive (as in the clothes are not petite sized), the aim for Adela Mei is to be a one stop (or rather, […]

Last year, we profiled an online, petite-focused store called Gambita, which sold clothing that was suited for women 5’4″ and below. The clothes on Gambita were from other brands which made shorter inseams and hemlines. One year later, Gambita has rebranded. It is now called Carolina Alvo (after the designer herself), and launches with its […]
I just came across the news this morning (after clicking on an email from J.Crew regarding new styles). J.Crew has NOT sold petite length denim or sweaters in at least five years. The jeans are available only in the Reid line and have a 30″ inseam. Sizes are the standard 24-30 and come in six […]

Many smaller-framed women are familiar with the California-based line, The Little Bra Company. Carrying “grown-up” looking bras as small as a 28AA, the brand has, over the years, become a go-to line for those of us who are small (including yours truly). The brand has been available in Canada for some time, but it’s often […]
I didn’t notice this until I browsed J.Crew’s latest pieces where sizes 000 and XXXS are now available in its regular sizing (petites still end at XXSP and 00P). Even as a relatively tiny person, I think it’s getting a bit too crazy. Do women really have such low self-esteem that they need to feel […]
