Just that really, and if you are using apps, what apps are you using?

Hi! I’m also very small! :D I have been using Asos, Miss Selfridge and River Island. Are you looking for workwear or casual wear?

H&M have a good selection of size 6, thats where I get my jeans and work trousers. Next aren’t great as I need the longer length and the woman in the shop told me they only start the longer length from an 8 upwards!

My DSIS is a size 2 and usually goes to Ted Baker / Kooples and gets the clothes she likes adjusted. She isn’t petite though. I guess if you are then girls ranges might be more suitable.

Primark, M&S petite for work stuff, Apricot, H&M, or sometimes I get a girls age 13/14.
I'm wearing a cosy girls age 13 jumper from Primark at 6m pregnant! Its so stretchy.

I've lucky I've got long legs and a short torso so I wear normal length trousers. Dresses always swamp me around the chest though and I almost always have to wear vest tops underneath.

No apps, I find lots of things itchy so like to feel things.

Primark and H&M mainly. However, the sizes in these shops vary massively so if I order online I don't know until I've got it. Hence, I can be a size 4, 6, 8 and 10 in all of these different shops - I don't know what size to call myself!

I’ve never heard of apricot. I will have to look that one up. I just had my very first delivery from asos, and I think this year the style is quite baggy anyway… So for the tops, it’s OK. I think… I have a very small shoulders, so trying to find the right size is a bit of a challenge… And I have put on weight a little… So for C Jeans or skirts, I need a bigger size 6, sometimes I can fit an eight if it is a small cut, but I am in between sizes if that makes sense… Most size 8 trousers to not fit me.

Do The small sizes from places like asosvary? it was my first time ordering. I also ordered two dresses, and they are supposed to be loose fitting but even so they were big.
