…or merely annoying? Yes, this is coming from someone who, at one point, ran a petite-focused blog (Shorty Stories is technically still “live” but no longer updates). I follow several Facebook pages, including Endangered Bodies, Adios Barbie, Any-Body (the UK chapter of Endangered Bodies), and to a certain extent, Jezebel, and find many of their […]
The first all plus-size line to show on the runway at World MasterCard Fashion Week was Allistyle, who presented the Spring/Summer 2013 collection on October 26. While this was definitely a very innovative move and major change at any Fashion Week, sadly, the collection was rather plain and something that anyone specialty sized (whether plus […]
US-based Ann Taylor recently announced its Canadian launch and will be opening two Toronto stores this fall, one at Yorkdale Shopping Centre and another at the Eaton Centre downtown. DelectablyChic! had the opportunity to interview the chain’s PR director, Andrew Taylor to speak with him about what we could expect when the first store opens […]
Is it just me, or has Anthropologie’s petite selection increased over the past couple of months? There are 24 rows of items if you click on view all and eight pages if you want to view 24 images at a time. This is an improvement, considering that at one point, they didn’t even have a […]
Last month, we asked you whether you thought that maxi skirts and dresses worked well on us petites. We were a little bit surprised about the results – didn’t think that there’d be an even split between a “definite yay” and NO (both at 32%). My question to those who think long, period is bad […]

Whoops! The news is not true, according to a note from a rep at Oxford Properties. The floor plan that was originally posted in this article was not supposed to be public and has since been removed. However, the Ann Taylor/Kate Spade speculation is still on my books, especially after Kate Spade sponsored a TIFF […]
Last month’s question asked you what percentage of your closet is made up of petite sizes. I was NOT surprised to find out that for many of you, it occupies a good chunk of your wardrobe. 33% of you said that petite sizing occupied 80% or more of your wardrobe (I guess this means there’s […]
Day Five, the final day of Toronto Fashion Week was a good one with shows from the likes of Arthur Mendonça (some petite friendly pieces, with the right alterations), Joeffer Caoc and Travis Taddeo. Petites in attendance on the finale of the Fall/Winter 2012-2013 shows include: Anna Janelle Helen and Callie Harmonie Veronica and Natalie […]
It was another busy day at Toronto Fashion Week, featuring shows from Triarchy Brand (denim) and of course, the ever-popular Pink Tartan and the gorgeous, bird-influenced David Dixon (more on that over at DelectablyChic! soon) and many petites were at the tents for the shows, including: Sally Erica Katherine Ashley Emily Just one more day […]
