Last year, we profiled an online, petite-focused store called Gambita, which sold clothing that was suited for women 5’4″ and below. The clothes on Gambita were from other brands which made shorter inseams and hemlines. One year later, Gambita has rebranded. It is now called Carolina Alvo (after the designer herself), and launches with its […]
I just came across the news this morning (after clicking on an email from J.Crew regarding new styles). J.Crew has NOT sold petite length denim or sweaters in at least five years. The jeans are available only in the Reid line and have a 30″ inseam. Sizes are the standard 24-30 and come in six […]

Many smaller-framed women are familiar with the California-based line, The Little Bra Company.

The brand has been available in Canada for some time, but it’s often […]
I didn’t notice this until I browsed J.Crew’s latest pieces where sizes 000 and XXXS are now available in its regular sizing (petites still end at XXSP and 00P).

I was going through my closet the other day, clearing out stuff that I hadn’t worn in a while, and putting them aside, either to donate or sell (I’ve had trouble selling items online, probably due to my size. Now my Trend Trunk closet is mostly bags, since bags know no size). I noticed that […]
