Where can I buy some petite sized but colourful cardis?

[mamhaf]

That's it really. Jackets are too formal for my work environment, where the temperature varies wildly (plus I'm starting to get hot flushes and dressing in layers would help).

So, I need some smartish cardigans but in bright colours - the ones I have are grey or black and very boring.

Any suggestions? I'm 5ft 3 so need to buy petite so the arms aren't too long. Online shopping would be ideal.

Brora is expensive but their cardigans last ages and their cropped cardigans are reduced. Tons of colours, not all sold out - here

Thanks KandyBarr. Do you handwash them or have you risked using the handwash cycle on your machine? I only do machine washing and would risk something less expensive.

As long as you can roll up the cuffs at the end (with a lot of styles you can) then I don't think you'd necessarily need to buy petite cardis. I'm 5"2 and just buy regular fit ones, but always choose styles that can be rolled up at the cuff.

zara?

If you are looking specifically for petite range cardigans, try Next petite online. I have a teal one from there and it has washed well and fits well - I am 5ft. They have a nice V neck one this season - comes in camel, navy or coral and a snip at £16!
Other petite ranges worth a look include Topshop and Dorothy Perkins
I also have a cropped cashmere cardi from Boden with 3/4 sleeves that fits well.

oh my those brora ones are lovely.

but My God the price! £139 for a cardi....SALE price?!....are they woven by angels?
