Reitmans is an affordable women's clothing store in Canada that is normally found in malls. They sell casual to business casual wear, and is one of the few stores carrying petites where clothes are age-appropriate for women in their 20s and 30s. Reitmans is an all-inclusive store, carrying clothing for petites, "regulars" and plus-sizes, which they call Encore 14+. Encore 14+ is also available in petites at some stores. Prices range from the $20s to the $60s on most items.

Petite sizes range from size 2 to 14 (regular sizes run in odd numbers), and according to the website, is designed to fit women 5'3 and under (a little shorter than petites in other stores). The inseam length is approximately 29". Selection is also pretty good, but it depends on the store. However, some feel that the quality isn't perfect--their linen feels like burlap--and the cutting can be large. However, if you are looking for casual clothing at an affordable price that you'll wear for one or two seasons, then Reitmans is a great place. If you work at a conservative bank or law firm, you would not be finding your work clothes here.

Service depends on the store you go to. You will get better service at smaller, less busy malls. However, associates tend to give great advice.

Reitmans does have a website, but like most Canadian clothing stores, does not sell online. The website does, however, give advice on trends, has contests, and even allows you to submit and view questions. This is updated monthly.
