Where can I buy nice petite clothes ?

[Cuntingseal]

I seem to have acquired a wardrobe of mostly next petite clothes as I can’t find a decent range elsewhere .
M & S petite offering is awful . I tend to wear dresses and jackets but recently tried on some regular clothes and I look like I am dressing up as they just don’t fit me .
Any decent ranges I can order to try at home and return easily ?

I am a busty 12/14 so not a teeny petite person

I’m interested in the answers too. I find ‘petite’ range can still come up long. It’sa joke when I see the model in the pic is listed as 5ft7” I’ve just ordered a dress from Seasalt in the sale. Apparently their returns process is straightforward.

I have lots of nice things from Boden petite - jersey style dresses, 7/8 smart trousers for work, I even got a jumpsuit in their sale and like it. Always look out for a sale, they have them regularly.

Yes I like boden petite. Hobbs also have some good stuff

How old are you? I find a lot of the petite ranges can be a bit matronly.

Have a look at wallis, Dorothy Perkins, river island, ASOS.

(I can also get away with Zara / Mango kids…age 14).

I like Uniqlo clothes - generally cut to a smaller frame, with a wide range of sizing. But they charge for online returns now I think.

I am 48 but not matronly … am making the most of post divorce fun and an amazing sex life in a new relationship 😂

I will have a look thank you for the suggestions

Wallis is my go to. Everything fits in the right places. I’m 5’1”.

I like Miss Selfridge petite range. The shops are closed but you can still buy Miss Selfridge clothing from ASOS.

Matronly women love sex too.

Matronly women love sex too.

Well after 20 years of a shitty marriage I am just delighted to be enjoying sex again …. I am pleased I will still be enjoying it if I take a matronly turn

I find Boden to be the best by far. Sometimes a bit of Wallis petite and sometimes a bit of m&co petite too. I’ve bought some nice next petite t-shirts this year.

I agree that M&S petite are awful. They used to be a lot better but the range is absolutely tiny now and hasn’t seems to have changed for months.

I’ve never found anything I like in new look petite but they do a fair amount in their range.

Seasalt have a very nice petite range.

I like Boden petite. 5'1 and busty although size 8 when not dealing with boobs

Taking notes , as I'm a 14 but short , I particularly need jackets in petite as have short arms. Trousers I tend to rely on cropped or ankle grazers.
Wallis was good but has gone i think.

Wallis is all on line now. It used to have a concession in our Debenhams, but that of course has gone now too.

New look, miss selfridge and Dorothy Perkins generally. I don’t like Next as it’s quite frumpy with awful patterns.

I was surprised to find a couple of nice things in Tesco recently.

Fenn Wright Mason do a good petite range.

I'm slightly under 5"3 and the length are good on me.

I mostly only get work bottoms from, via JL. them but they do have nicer other things.

I'm the same age as you and most of my wardrobe comes from H&M (they go down to XS and 6), Mango and New Look.
Also a few bits from Zara and Asos.

The 'younger' ranges or Spanish labels tend to be cut smaller. I love some of the clothes at Arket, &Other Stories, The Finery, Whistles etc but they are huge on me.

I also use a good dressmaker for altering bits.

It’s also about sleeve length and where the waist line sits on certain clothes!
