Petites at LG Fashion Week, Day 4

Bare Legs or Leggings?

ShareI recently bought a long top/short dress from petite-friendly brand AIME (I couldn’t zip up the XS past my waist.  Must be a ribcage issue. This dress is a S), which I’ve actually had my eye on for a few seasons.  I first saw this at LG Fashion Week in 2009.  The fit is very snug, but [...]

Why is it so difficult to find petite related articles?

Anyway, I’ve been searching all over the Internet for petite-related topics to write about, but everything seems to be very similar! Practically every petite advice [...]

Poll Results for September: Boycotting Fashion

Share Last month’s question: Would you consider boycotting fashion brands that do not make petites? 31% said: Yes, it’s the only way to get fashion and media attention! 16% said: Maybe, I’ll have to think about this. 25% said: No, it’s not going to work, because the industry doesn’t care! 18% said: Wait, if I [...]
