SOL for Petites

DonnaF

Other than jeans. Lots of jeans. And jeans can be shortened relatively easily. Not dresses with waists and shortening sleeves can be expensive. I went through most of the NAS online pages. Many items showed up multiple times. Maybe the sponsored ones? I keep hoping for a growth spurt.

Bummer. But maybe more items will be available once the sale goes live? *fingers crossed*

Nordstrom has reduced its Petites for the past few years. For NAS, Plus Size is listed as a searchable category but not Petites. Even if a manufacturer like Madewell makes Petites, generally Nordstrom doesn’t carry it. Or Nordstrom doesn’t carry the smallest size made as in Lands End and FarmRio.

Sorry to whine. But I am really not all that small; I’m a well fed American!

DonnaF, I hear you and sympathize. It sucks The NAS used to have exceptional petites. Not anymore. Some of my petite clients shop shoes and nothing else. Other petites do well with regular sizes.

I felt the same way, I put a few dresses and shirts on my wish list but I'm not optimistic. Not really surprising based on last year but disappointing nonetheless! I'm thinking it's likely a pair of jeans, sneakers, and workout clothes kind of year for me.

Recently when I've been browsing the petite section at Nordstrom it feels like half of what I'm looking at is from .... Lands End. Nothing wrong with LE, but I'll buy from them directly, I dion't need to see their clothes on the Nordstrom site too.

I can empathize. I used to look forward to the NAS because it was a chance to find petite jackets and coats, but those days seem to be gone. I will look at jeans, which I can hem, and sweaters, some of which might work. Good luck!
