A site to discuss petiteness and body image
SharePetite sizes, especially petite-exclusive collections, while growing, are hard to come by. Often seen as something for a very mature market, many petite women avoid them like the plague. However, things are changing, especially with Jeetly, the newest entry to the petite-exclusive market. Founded by 5’1” Jess Jeetly, the small UK-based collection of work-appropriate dresses, [...]
ShareAs you may have noticed, Shorty Stories has not had new posts from this site in several months. I have decided to concentrate on my main site, DelectablyChic! and sister site, The DelectablyChic! Closet, which has been featuring my outfit posts for the past few months. At first, I was planning on featuring body image [...]
Share Finally, a luxury line has arrived for petite women 5’5″ and below. The 16th Bar, led by 4’11″ designer Frankie Ortiz, presented its debut collection in Los Angeles late last year. Currently only available online, but with plans to open brick and mortar stores, the collection consists of skirts, dresses and jackets and features [...]
ShareI recently wrote a post on my site, DelectablyChic!, about the recent Allistyle show at World MasterCard Fashion Week in Toronto. This was not a response to the Toronto Standard piece about the models being laughed at, but an honest review about the show itself. It was not an all-rosy review, which was apparently something that I was expected to write. I [...]
Share If you’re 18 or older, a legal resident of Canada and 5’4″ or shorter, you have a chance to enter to take part in a photo shoot next month in Montreal for EDIT’s Spring/Summer 2013 campaign. There will be an all expenses paid round trip flight and hotel stay, plus a “gourmet dining experience. [...]
ShareThose of you who read DelectablyChic! would know about Massimo Dutti’s first North American store, which opened at the Toronto Eaton Centre last week. As I noted on the post, sizing is just a tad bit…generous, with the smallest size being a 4 (a bit smaller than a Zara 4, but bigger than its 2). [...]
ShareUPDATE: Looks like it’s a typo. I just got a note from the people at Ted Baker who said that the model is actually 5’10″. Too bad. It would have been nice to see a non-celebrity petite model! Diverse body types should encompass EVERY SIZE, including height, not just curvier women! This is the first [...]
ShareI know, I know, it sounds like I’m just doing what everyone else is, but after 5 1/2 years, I feel that Shorty Stories is getting a little tired, even after moving it from Blogger to WordPress. When I first started, it was, of course, a “ranting” site to get people talking about petite issues. [...]
Share Toronto based model agent, Ben Barry is featured in this video discussing how models that are similar-sized/look like the consumer would more likely attract said consumer. Well, DUH! We want to see what something looks like on us. One reason why I, as a petite woman, prefer celebrities over models. While most celebrities have [...]
