Claiborne hasn't the biggest size range of petite plus size ( 14P
to 24P ) [ Roamans has a wider size range ] but, for us, we found
their career looks and plus size casuals for petites ahead of the
rest for choice and style. Pages and pages of petite plus size tops,
pants, skirts, jackets and dresses, free shipping on orders over
$150, and two discount sections - "reduced" and "clearance"
where there are some real bargain finds.

have a reasonable size range in casuals, from 16WP to 26WP for small

OUR TIP. As soon as you go to their site, go to the ''SHOP BY''
button at the top right of the page
In the drop-down menu there you will find PETITES, which takes you
straight through to the 4 pages of petite plus sizes that they have.
Plus size fashion for age 30+ in our opinion.

Generous
Fashions
Started in 1998 by a fashion designer who was inspired by the comments
and advice of Plus Size women, Generous Fashions has been retailing
on the net since 2003, and in their Clothing Store, which is located
at Headley Studio/Generous Fashions, 40 Madison Street, NY. They
claim plus size clothing based on real bodies, real hips, real necklines,
real front and back rises, real waists, real shirt lengths, real
armholes and real sleeve lengths. Good range of Plus Size Petite
for a smaller retailer. Real, plus size models, so you see what
their clothes truly look like. Free shipping over $125

Coldwater
Creek have started to concentrate more on their actual
stores than on their website
They have plus size petite clothing in PXL ( size 18 ), but we find
the lack of a 'search by size'
function a bit of a draw-back in using their site.
Recently, in our opinion, they have 'dropped the ball' as regards
their site and clothes, with sizes
often not being available of what has been advertised. We also found
their site slow to load.

6 Simple Fashion Tips for Plus Size Petites.
1] Wear
shirts, blouses, dresses and jackets with deep V-necks. They make
your neck and body look longer
2] Wear suits with high lapels. This makes you appear taller
3] Wear darker pants / bottoms if your hips are much larger than
your bust. This gives an overall slimmer, longer effect.
4] Buy your pants an inch longer if you never intend going out
without high heels; - only you will know how much of the extra
height is leg, and how much is shoe.
5] Wear skirts and dresses to knee length at least, as this makes
legs appear longer
6] Sweaters. Wear styles that are more lightweight, with a more
fluid drape. We repeat - V-necks look great on virtually everyone.
Horizontal ribs create a slimming effect. Also, seek out sweaters
with a bit of stretch for a smooth fit. Just avoid sweater styles
that are too bulky, boxy or excessively patterned.
