I looked at their website! Some styles are sold out in my size (either 23 or 24)!! Wish there was more selection on style though. I'm kind of a mid to dark wash kind of girl (but not black).
I’m 5’3”, and wouldn’t have it any other way. I get to climb up on things that most people wouldn’t think about doing, and I like my perspective.
I used to try to make up for it a little by wearing higher heels, but walking in the city (San Francisco) meant often getting my heel caught in something. Finally gave up and wore sport shoes to and from work and kept my heels at the office. Once more casual dress became acceptable, I moved to wearing wedge boots or wedge heeled shoes.
Nowadays I’m all about sport shoes and the occasional wedge boots/wedge ankle boots. But I still treasure being shorter.
I’m barely 5’2” and most of my female relatives of my generation are 5’5” to 5’8”. That’s on the taller side if you’re of southern Chinese stock. I guess it’s just bad luck when it comes to genetics since my mom is 5’5” at her full height and my dad is 5’10” at his full height. I’ve found that even the fashion world (especially the fashion world?) doesn’t really “get” us since all I hear is “why don’t you just get things tailored?” Well, you can’t alter a lot of things and it’s not just about leg length! I’m pretty proportioned so I’m short all over! There was a huge petite blogging community back in the late naughts but everyone (save for Jean Wang who is now more of a general influencer) kind of disappeared. I guess we all just got married, became parents and moved on. I too, would love to see more petite models now that we’re supposed to be size diverse. It seems that we’re still only focusing on clothing size. For me, I really don’t care if a model is a 0 or 18 or whatever. I want to see a short gal!
I am dinky too and have always loved it. Especially when in front over tall men… we somehow click. Our bodies are miniature but our minds know no limit 😉❤️ love you Bobbi
Tall girl chiming in! I know how it all feels from the other side of the spectrum though. Just goes to show that we’re all the same but different 😘
Absolutely
Fellow member of the 5 feet club! Always dreamed of opening a “short and small” store that specializes in petite clothing!
I wanted to do that too! Have you ever checked out Petite Studio? They are a petite-only brand and use petite models!
https://www.petitestudionyc.com/
Will check out !
So funny, I think there is definitely a lack of petite clothing lines out there. I have not checked that out but will now, thanks for sharing!
Check out Lil mother jeans !
Thanks Bobbi! Been on the hunt for a good pair of petite jeans for a while, will check them out!

I meant Lil’Mother not Petite Studio.
