Essential Petite Girl Gift Guide

Gift giving season is finally upon us! The holidays are my favorite time of year and I love picking out presents tailored to each of my friends and family. But, finding the perfect gift can be tricky! Sizing and fit preferences are different for everyone. And as a petite woman, it can be especially hard to find pieces that fit well and don’t need additional alterations. In this gift guide, I’ve included ready-to-wear closet staples that will have your petite friends raving over their gift!

Soft Sweaters

Sweaters are a great go-to gift idea that will keep your loved one cozy and warm throughout the winter season. To flatter a petite frame, be sure to pick sweaters that are cropped or fitted so that the shape of the sweater doesn’t overwhelm a small build.
