A site to discuss petiteness and 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 [...]

Isn’t this bag gorgeous? Looks vintage, doesn’t it? The bag is by Sneha Varma and was purchased at the Toronto Fashion Incubator/Stylicity event held at Hazelton Lanes at Fashion’s Night Out, and it was my only actual purchase. The bag also comes in black and blue and has both a shorter shoulder strap as well [...]

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 recently purchased two full skirts, one from Femme de Carriere, a Montreal-based clothing store with office-friendly clothing (both casual and formal) and another from a Kate Spade outlet in Niagara Falls, New York. Some people think that these skirts can overwhelm a petite frame, but it really depends on the style (e.g. how much [...]
US-based Ann Taylor recently announced its Canadian launch and will be opening two Toronto stores this fall, one at Yorkdale Shopping Centre and another at the Eaton Centre downtown. DelectablyChic! had the opportunity to interview the chain’s PR director, Andrew Taylor to speak with him about what we could expect when the first store opens… [Continue Reading]
ShareSorry for taking so long to post this! I’ve been crazy-busy wrapping up the DelectablyChic! Social (which was pretty good, by the way) and just didn’t have time to take pictures. The dress is so light weight and summer-ready and I’ve worn it out a couple of times already, including to a Father’s Day dinner [...]
