Short Curvy Ladies - Where Do You Shop And What Do You Wear???

[MayorNaze]

am going makeover type shopping with friend - she is size 16 but only 4'10 so even petite sizes are too long...

where should we go?? what should we be looking at??

thank you :)

I find Dotty P ok but I have no style whatsoever.

i did think dotty p but they only ever seem to have about 3 items in their petite section

I am 5ft and a size 8-10 but a curvy shape.
I have just bought some good jeans from M&S (yes, really!) - here
They are designed to be worn rolled up and so the length is less of an issue. Look good with flat leather sandals and also wedges.

other petite ranges I buy from include Next, Lands End (for coats), Topshop and DP.

What sort of stuff is she looking for?

Wallis?

I'm 5'2" and their petite section is too short for me. I have a portly hour glass figure and their cut tends to suit my shape in a lot of their clothes.

thank you!

basic spring/summer wardrobe is what we are after :)

didn't know topshop had a petite section! useful tip re wallis as well

will be looking in all places, she is only early 20s but we are going for style as oppose to fashion IYSWIM?

they do great jeans in New Look, but think they may be still too long

I think most petite ranges are for 5'3" and under, but 4' 10" to 5'3" is still a big difference height wise

there may be specialist ranges online?
