Petite fashion - Shopping as a Size Zero / Size 0

Fashion as a Size Zero (Size 0) might sound like a dream, but the reality for Lisa at an extremely petite 4'9" is far from easy. Shopping, in fact, is a nightmare. Here she learns to find outfits and styles that work.

With thanks to Amanda Lester of Precis Petite and Claude Pinnot of Selfridges & Co.

the problem for me is this - jeans - always too big on the waist! they can fit everywhere else but then i have a huge gap at the waist at the back why oh why!

So what if someone is a size 20 and they're 7 feet tall? I would imagine that would be make for much harder shopping than this.

It's hard enough for me as a 6'1 woman. I have a very long inseam, and no place makes pants that are long enough for me. I wear a lot of skirts and capris.

I understand the tall womans plight but when your petite slmodt nothing ever fits you right, unless I go to a childrens store. The few petite clothing services there are get really expensive.

Thanks so much for this! I'm glad I'm not the only one putting petite activism videos up! We really need to speak up and let the world know that properly fitted petite clothes (and not stuff that look like they're for a 65 year old retiree on a cruise) are necessary! Alterations don't fix everything. We want to look like grown-ups!
