Petite Fashion, Style, Issues and Random Rants
ShareProject Runway Canada winner Sunny Fong is known for using a wider range of sizes for his line, VAWK, but once again, he is ignoring the shorter woman in his casting call for his upcoming Toronto Fashion Week show. While the call does allow for non-runway height women (5’6″ and above, without heels), I cannot [...]
ShareI saw a Tweet from @hmusa recently about the fact that the plus department in the US is rebranding from Big & Beautiful to the more appropriate H&M+ name. Sizes this department will carry will range between 14 and 24. While I knew that H&M had plus sizes, I can’t help but wonder if they’ll [...]
ShareI’m shorter than my mother. This is a rarity, especially for first generation Canadians with immigrant parents. You’re pretty much expected to be taller than your mom. When I was a little girl, I expected to be around 5’6″ or 5’7″ – one to two inches TALLER than mom. Never happened. I reached my current [...]
ShareI found August’s blog recently and came across The Beauty of a Woman Blogfest post. August is encouraging people to post about what they define as The Beauty of a Woman on February 9, 2012, which can include any of the following: – When do you feel most beautiful? – The most beautiful you’ve ever [...]
Share Size B is the smallest size of tights Canadian brand Joe Fresh sells, fitting women who’re 5′ even to 5’6″ and 110 lb to 140 lb. While 5’6″ at 110 lb is very skinny, 5′ even at 110 lb is pretty average for that height. It’s as if they’re considering more average-heighted skinnies, but [...]
Shareandtvhcvx38 Have you seen DelectablyChic!’s video with her picks from Joe Fresh and J.Crew yet? What do you think? Tweet
ShareAccording to Stylite and New York Daily News, a photo shoot involving “real women” (all recent university graduates) wearing pieces from the Versace for H&M collection has been cancelled because all press-related Versace images must go through the authorities and Donatella doesn’t approve of using non-models.OOOKKKAAAAYYY. Both publications also reported that they sent Donatella and [...]
ShareAnother busy day at LG Fashion Week, Wednesday. I went to five shows yesterday, including LABEL, Pink Tartan and Joe Fresh. I saw quite a few dresses (especially at LABEL) that looked extremely short on the models. If the pieces stay that length in final production, then yes, they would indeed be very petite-friendly! For [...]
ShareIt’s that time of year again – time for LG Fashion Week. For the upcoming season, we are back in tents, and this time, at David Pecaut Square on King and University. And while DelectablyChic! is covering all of the shows, you can find some behind-the-scenes pictures here. As usual, we are posting pictures of [...]

Think You’re ‘Fat’? Check Out This ‘Ideal’ Size Chart from Korea
ShareIf you think “standards” in North America are too thin, you’d be in for a shock when if you compare yourself to this chart (note: everything is in metric, in increments of 2 cm and height is roughly 5′ to 5’7″) from Korea, which I discovered while reading a post from Bread, Butter and Champagne.
