Someone dress me please! I'm going insane here :(

[MissyNatalie]

I'm 5ft tall and I'm a size 4 in UK sizing and I hate it so bad :/ I have only bought 3 new pieces of clothes in the last 6 months! 1 was a dress that had to have the shoulders altered, another dress that fitted well but was expensive and a jumper that looks so oversized it is shoved to the back of the wardrobe now :(

I have tried for literally years to put on weight and fill out to be an easier clothes size but I just can't push the scales above 6 stone 4lbs :/ Maybe this is a medical thing that I need to enquire about with my GP?

I'd love any ideas of where I can buy things in my size that are trendy for me!
Any help at all is appreciated!

Have you looked at Asos? Their petite range goes to a 4.

What sort of stuff do you like and what's your budget?

Pretty tops with leggings or snazzy tights with shorts
I don't really have a budget, if I found a store that suited me and my size then I would just shop there all the time.

My very petite friend shops in teenage depts as the stuff is now more or less the same. Im wildly jealous as it saves her a fortune. Some gorgeous stuff, all casual mind you, here here and here

topshop does petite size 4
mango has lots of size 4
uniqlo size XS is a 4-6
Have you tried shopping online? The stores might have less choice in your size...you might also have some luck on ebay, particularly for vintage clothes which are often small and sold by measurements so you can see if they would fit. Good luck!

I am 5ft and a small size 8... and I struggle to find well fitting clothes so it must be even worse for you.
Try Topshop petite

I'm also 5 feet and usually a size 6 UK is too big. In the US, where I'm from, petite sizes are much easier to find. J Crew petite sizes are perfectly proportioned for small women and they now have a UK mail order site that is new. I usually wait and buy my clothes while on holiday in the US as they are much cheaper for the same quality. But I also recommend getting a personal shopper at one of the big department stores to help. I did that at Peter Jones and found out that Hobbs size 8 sometimes fit. I still had to get a few things taken in but at least I found some things. But in general, UK clothes are made for taller women.
