Even though I'm 5'2", I rarely shop petites. For most places the availability and variety isn't there, plus I am only petite in stature, which usually means I have to size up from what I would normally wear, but not always. Things become more complicated when petite sizes are only online, leading to me avoiding them all together. However, in this instance, it was nice to have the option, so thanks Loft.

This top is absolutely gorgeous! So glad the sizing worked out!
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous top! I think it's always hard ordering online since you can't try the item on and it's a crapshoot.

This blouse is so pretty! I have something similar from Joe Fresh, but I like how the eyelet differs from panel to panel.
ReplyDeleteI only do petite for pants as it usually means I don't have to hem them. I too am only petite in stature and really only on the bottom half.
Petite shopping can be such a pain. I almost never bother anymore because even if a store does offer petites, it's usually a micro-collection that isn't available in store. Sigh. There are times when I think I should stop engaging in this self-defeating behaviour, especially when I see someone like you wearing such a perfectly proportionned petite blouse. And the eyelet! So lovely.
ReplyDeletexox,
Cee

That is a lovely top on you and Chloe is too cute.
ReplyDeleteThis top looks great on you! I ordered this top and it just did not fit good on my body. I am 5'4 and do not shop at petite section either. I am more comfortable in regular sizing even if the sleeves are a little long.

This is the most beautiful summer blouse, Lydia, I love it!
ReplyDeleteI am not sure up to which height "petite" sizes go but with my 5'4 I only order them when the normal size is no longer available. I have hips and petite sizes are usually too tight for a female figure.
Have a lovely weekend,

What an easy yet stylish summer outfit. I TOTALLY get what you mean about petite clothing, same here I have to go up in sizes but I do love the length of the pants.
ReplyDeleteWhite eyelet is so pretty! I want a skirt in that material.
ReplyDeleteVery nice relaxed and casual look. I love the eyelet shirt, and it doesn't look boxy at all to me!
ReplyDeleteChloe is such a cutie!!
How unexpectedly sexy! I love that there's coverage across the tummy--my trouble spot.
