You know that feeling when you walk into a party? You feel nervous and excited at the idea of a great night out, seeing your friends and meeting new people. Walking across the room scanning faces for someone familiar, you see people turn their heads to check out who is new to the party. It is intimidating to say the least! To hold your head high in this situation takes confidence and for you to be comfortable in your own skin… or at the very least your own outfit! 

Feeling good in what you wear may seem trivial, but it plays a massive role in how you show up in the world, it expresses who you are on the inside, your tenacity, independence, willpower and strength. Wearing something that doesn’t fit right, makes you fidget or just doesn’t feel like ‘you’ can take up your whole focus and attention when you should be focused on enjoying yourself. Spending time in the bathroom adjusting yourself, making sure everything is in it’s right place, pulling, twisting and straightening. It’s exhausting! Wouldn’t it be great to not have to worry about it at all, so you can be totally engaged in meeting people, having great conversations, or just kicking it on the dance floor? 

Your outfit should empower you to be the best person you can be. 

Life as a Petite Woman...

Feeling small in a world full of tall is overwhelming, to be seen, heard and considered can be a constant challenge. Society dictates to us the meaning of our body shape and size as a limitation we have to overcome but the reality is we have hold the power to be.

Do you feel like your body type is a limitation? Does it stop you from showing up in the world the way you would love to? Are you afraid to express parts of your personality because you're afraid of what people will think?

Nothing fits, nothing in this shop is for me, too long, too wide, too baggy! Shopping as a petite women can be disheartening, when nothing fits right it can make us believe our bodies are only meant to look one way and that ours just don’t seem to fit what’s ‘normal’.  You end up questioning yourself thinking “Am I the wrong size?” Well, we are here to say - No, absolutely not! What’s wrong is that many women’s clothing brands don’t account for the fact that we all come in many beautiful shapes and sizes, we all struggle to find the right fit without the need for alterations. You are not alone in this battle! But we are here to help! There are few things you can do in order to find a style, brand and clothing company that give you more of what you want. 

Tip #1 Avoid mass produced and fast fashion. 

Woman’s clothing companies that mass produce their garments often lose on attention to detail and sacrifice quality of their fabrics and textiles making it less comfortable and forgiving for different body types. Sizing is often one garment pattern double or tripled for different sizes without considering proportions of different body types. 

Tip #2 Shop boutique and small business clothing brands.

Boutique and small business often specialise in one area, and they do it well instead of trying to do everything for everybody. These companies will specify in their garment description what type of body shape they are better suited to. 

Tip #3 Talk to the Staff. 

Either in store or online get chatting with the staff and ask them what you need to know to get what you need. Finding out if the staff are trained to style your body type is a quick way to work out whether you should run for the door or stay and look around. 

Questions to ask include: 

  • Do you specialise in smaller sizes for petite women? 
  • Have you been trained in styling petite frames? 

You should feel supported by the staff in finding something that fits your petite frame and puts a smile on your face!
