I'm 5ft. Does anyone else find petite stuff is smaller in the size as well as the length ie Next petite 12 wouldn't fit me but Bext 'normal' (arf!) 12 stuff will.
I'll be looking into monsoon petite too but I have to say I love wearing their swirly type skirts really long so don't usually have a problem there.

peachygirl · 03/11/2006 19:35

me, me, me, I'm 4'11''
I buy clothes everywhere although find that Next stuff is a really bad fit.
I still fit into some kids stuff esecially the designers at debenhams range which goes up to age 15-16. I have two tops from this range which I am wearing at 5 1/2 months pregnant! I agree with morningpaper debenhams has a good selection of petite stuff.
I've got a couple of great pairs of jeans from Tammygirl - with a bit of lycra in them, in fact they are the best fitting jeans I have had for ages.
I love Principles but only in the sales and go to M and S lots.
I have a sewing machine which has done good service taking up many many pairs of trousers over the years.
If you live near me the peachy tailoring service could be open to you. I often take up bits for people at work

nikkie · 03/11/2006 19:36

I thought it was just me doing that in Next!

nannyme · 03/11/2006 19:40

i am 5' 2" and somewhere between a next 'normal' and a next petite. large bosom though so cannot do petite on the top half realistically but would be nice as have small shoulders and narrow back.

i bought an age 14 hennes top this week that fits very well - no chance with my arse though.

Another 5 footer here. Trefusis, I love finding capris - it means one less pair of pants to hem!!! I hate it when I try on a pair of "petite" pants and they are still 4 or 5 inches too long.

So out of all us small poeple how many are with tall men? is something I always notice that small women are often with tall men.

Like me my dh is 6 foot 2

anyone else?

jabberwocky · 04/11/2006 10:55

Me! I have always gone for tall men. Who wants to be part of a "cute little couple"?

Piffle · 04/11/2006 10:59

My dd is not expected to get to 5ft or maybe just get to 5ft, due to genetic syndrome that makes her very petite
interesting to read your thread
