The best retailers offering fashion lines for petite women

You can skip the tailor with these clothing lines that are perfectly proportioned for petites.

Finding ideal pieces for your wardrobe is always a challenge, but it's even more so when your proportions fall outside the realm of traditional store sizing. If you're on the shorter end of the height spectrum or are smaller than a size 8, folding up your sleeves and getting your pants hemmed will be all too familiar practices for you.

Luckily, many retailers have started creating clothing lines to cater for specific body types. With many now offering petite ranges for those 5'4 and under, gone are the days where you have to head to the children's section for a top that won't completely swamp your figure.

We've put in the hard yards to bring you the top retailers offering a mix of casual wear, work wear and evening wear to flatter smaller frames.
