Petite does not mean cutesy wootsey eeney weeny. And I need a blazer. whelm

[popularinthe80s]

Two questions:
Looking for a short blazer (to break up a long body)
In a deep colour, but not black
That fits a petite

Second question - is there a current petite thread?
Why does 'petite' to some retailers = cutesy, flowery, sicky

I mean offences against sophistication like this

Ooh interesting! It’s more than I normally spend too but I’m currently culling my clothes and for all the money wasted on cheap jersey and doesn’t-fit-quite-right stuff that I bought in desperation I could have had a whole wardrobe from Sezane by now!
