It’s important to note that you will find the best fitting clothes in petite sizing. But, if the piece that you’re looking for is in regular size you can also get it tailored. This takes a little extra time and money, but the end result is worth it!

Also, try to find cropped blouses and tees when petite sizing is unavailable. This will give you the shorter length you need without having to tuck!

Read on to find out more petite fashion hacks that will help you look and feel your best!
