It’s not about shrinking down regular styles and hoping for the best, it’s about designing from the start with petite proportions in mind.
And while you might not spot these differences on a hanger, you definitely feel them once you put the pieces on.
Here are 9 brands offering petite collections or specific petite pieces that I think are worth knowing about.
Forever New has been ahead of the curve, literally and figuratively, when it comes to understanding the different needs of women in fashion.
Not only do they offer an extended size range (from 4 to 18), and a Curve range (16 to 24), but they also have a dedicated petite line, specifically designed for women 161cm and under.
Their petite offering includes dresses, pants, tops, coats and more, thoughtfully tailored with shorter proportions in mind.
It’s one of the few Aussie brands that’s consistently invested in petite fashion.
