With all the inconsistencies in women’s clothing sizes, it can feel almost impossible to shop for clothing online, especially as a petite woman! It’s hard enough to find petite friendly clothes in general, much less without even trying it on. So, in order to make petite shopping A LOT easier, I’ve compiled a list of stores and their sizes to create a petite size guide.

But before we jump into the specifics, I wanted to share my most helpful tip when shopping for petite clothing… and that is to look for the length!!! I NEVER buy a dress without looking at how long it is. And most of the time, if the length isn’t stated, I’ll pass on buying it all together because 9 out of 10 times it will fall well past my knees. So, here’s a general list of lengths I use to shop for clothes that will actually fit my petite frame!

Dresses/Rompers: 29 – 32 inches

Skirts: 14.5 – 16.5 inches

Leggings: 25 inch inseam or 7/8 length

Jeans: 24 – 25 inch inseam

Now onto the size guide. The guide below is based off of my experience buying clothes so it’s important to note that I am 5’2 115lbs. I’ve included the general fit of items that I typically buy from each store, as well as the size that I wear most often.
