What's happened to Precis (petite clothing)?

There seems to be hardly anything on their website.

I read a few months ago that the company who owns them was in trouble, but I've heard nothing since then.

I really hope they're not going out of business as it's one of the last places left that makes good quality petites in tops and knitwear. Boden only have dresses and skirts. It's so hard getting clothes in the right length and Precis have been a lifesaver on several occasions.

Doesn't House of Fraser stock their stuff?

Debenhams and House of Fraser both used to stock them but they seem to have stopped.

This is an absolute disaster for petite women. It's getting harder and harder to buy even the most basic clothing in the right length

Precis are owned by whomever has, Eastex, Jacques Vert, Windsmoor, Planet, Dash etc

Do you have a boundary mills near by?
If so, they stock it all, and will do for several years even after they've gone into admin.

Shame. The one I go to is over an hour's drive away but definitely worth it.

Does anyone know any more information?

Oh nooooooo, I've found an article from July saying they've closed all their concessions. This is terrible news for petite women. It's getting harder and harder by the year to buy the most basic of clothing. FGS. www.itv.com/news/2018-07-04/jacques-vert-administrators-to-close-all-concessions-leading-to-840-job-losses/
