The struggle is real when the waist is so tight, but it fits everywhere else. I found some amazing linen petite pants at J Jill. They are a little pricey but worth every penny. Super high quality. J Jill has petite clothes down. Comfortable fits, and the sizing always works for me. They are my favorite place for petite clothing, hands down.
@@LoriLundquistone more thing I wanted to say is that I love that the JJill store by me actually has a big petite section in store to try on. Most places you can only buy petites from their online store. I love that JJill actually has a nice selection in their store by me. 😊
@@danielled5883 Also great to know! Next time I’m in Raleigh I will check out the store in the mall. That’s rare these days that the brick and mortar stores have a good selection of petites.
Ilove J Jill jeans. They are so soft and the deep cuff ones are so cute on. This year I bought the demi bootcut that fit amazing and white cropped jeans. I think you can't go wrong with this brand.
Cotton can be too hot on me in summer, so I wear linen a lot, which never is. I iron my linen clothes nicely, then forget about the creasing while wearing them. Linen, and other natural fibers, forever!
I like both of these brands a lot, partly because they carry silk items, which I love. Boden dresses tend to be too low-cut for me, even in petites, so I have to add a few stitches or a decorative button. I didn’t know Reformation offered free alterations! Lily Silk, another brand I like, offers free custom-sizing, but not in its silk jersey items.
Lori: Reformation clothes are really nice but run small. I normally wear a S or M petite but am between a M & L on their size chart. I found the M in the Ref stretch ribbed tank I bought to be really tight and will buy L in future. The only other brand I wear a L in is Spanx pants. 😊
I constantly have that problem with trousers, the waists are tight, but the hips, bottom and thighs enormous. That’s one reason I prefer skirts and dresses, they only have to fit the waist properly, I’ve never yet tried a garment that is too tight for my skinny hips and I’m 63. With most skirts and dresses, I remove the hip/thigh curve and re-stitch with a straight seam.
Thank you for a great informative video on sustainable petite brands. Would you mind sharing your measurements for a better idea of fit and sizing on your try-ons. I appreciate your time.
Hi! Yes of course! I will share here and will also share in the video description. I’m 5ft tall. Pant size 6P. Shirts normally Small to Medium. 34D bra size. I will check my hip and waist measurements and let you know
Please give us promised link to sustainable clothes on petite sizes. I have an hourglass figure, and always bought CLASSIC CLOTHES, but at a busty 4'11" and 160#, it's hard to find anything. Amazon ignores me when I ask for PETITE.😢
Too many shirts! What about some dresses? I don’t wear a dress often because I’m a senior and I’m retired but sometimes I need a dress and I’m just tired of pants and shirts. That’s all I see.
