Just note this is long and I’m wearing high heels

•Chelsea28 maxi dress size xxs - stretchy, flattering and comfortable due to the smocked waist. If between sizes I’d size down bc of all the stretch

Such a pretty and petite friendly maxi dress! Tried on Xs and it’s fitted on me in the torso with stretch, almost like an xxs in the chest. fully lined throughout.

No bra needed for me because of the pattern and lining

Smocked back so this is fairly bump friendly (I’d probably size up for a bump), adjustable length straps (nursing friendly to pull down), and you can wear this for daytime with flats or dress it up at night or for a spring wedding guest outfit

Spring athleisure outfit with a tunic top to throw over leggings

Varley double soft fabric feels so luxe for loungewear- lives up to their rave reviews! I used code VARLEY10 for 10% off

• Sweatshirt tunic in Taupe xxs - oversized relaxed fit with longer back length for wearing with leggings. Drawstring waist. the sleeve length is also a little long on me (pushed up in this pic).

I ordered several Varley doublesoft pieces to try and also kept the Davidson half zip linked in xxs - it’s a shorter length than their other pullovers and a nice relaxed fit for petites!

• Varley High Rise Legging 25 in Taupe Stone xs - the xs is long on me - hems are folded under.

The xxs is too skin tight on me so I sized up to Xs. I've also linked a similar neutral legging from Lululemon that comes in a more petite friendly 23 or 25" inseam. The lulu has more of a lighter and cooler tone color

• sneakers are New Balance 327s size kids 4 which fits like a women’s 6.

• 100% silk midi slip skirt Xs - I’ve also had the champagne color for a few years now and that color is beautiful in person

These pair well with the matching affordable cashmere sweater for an elevated look. I usually wear my Uniqlo shaper shorts under my silk slip skirts, and I tuck this sweater using my DIY elastic tuck band method or using a hidden skinny belt as shown in one of my recent reels!

The xs skirt measures 22.5” across the waist (elastic) and 28 to 29” in length.

• $50 cashmere sweater xs . This one is classic fit, with sleeves just a little long on me so I usually wear them casually pushed up. They also have a shrunken fit cashmere sweatshirt style that’s slightly smaller in fit.

Classy coordinating pieces. Pants are made of quality crepe and waist is fitted on me with no gap.

• The shorter pant pictured is the aritzia Effortless Crop in “matte pearl” 00 regular. This particular color is a nice weight and not sheer.

At 5 feet tall I can do their crops in either regular or short. The 00 regular crops measure 23.5” inseam and 11” rise

• coordinating vest size 00, runs small and narrow at the bust. I am personally between the 0 and 00 in this piece. In hindsight I’d size up to the 0 for more room.

Other pieces in the video:

• Wilfred off the shoulder Nola sweater xxs - the sleeves are long on me so I folded them twice

• Arbus crop Blazer xxs, sleeves are long and folded under , but the rest of the blazer fits well and is sharply tailored. Great torso length on petites.

• High-Rise Pleated Tennis Skirt size 2 - also cute for pickle ball and walks. pocketed shorts for coverage and silicone bands inside the shorts leg opening to prevent riding up .

I saw a review about washing, so I ran this through the machine wash on cold and then hung it to air dry and the pleats are still intact like they were!

I would personally not size up on the skirt like some reviews mentioned. I usually do a 2 in all Lulu items and this is the length on me at 5 feet tall.

• Ultralight Waist-Length T-Shirt size 2 - this has a barely there feel very airy, quick to try and petite friendly length.

Good for jogging, workouts, throwing on with leggings or high rise bottoms. This tee runs slim at the shoulders and chest, I took my usual Lululemon size 2 but size up if between sizes.

@onequince cotton dress in xs. Fabric is a cotton poplin which is known to stay breathable and cool for hot summer days.

Has adjustable straps and adjustable tie at the neckline where there’s a small keyhole detail, also has pockets! #quincepartner

Xs is a tad loose on me at the bust, better after shortening the shoulder straps to raise the torso up.

Aritzia Effortless Pant 00 Short in hummus beige, also love the matte Pearl or taupe color options. Inseam measures 28.5” with an 11” rise.

High quality crepe fabric that drapes beautifully, waist is fitted on me with no gap.

A while back I bought these pants in another color and found them to be too long, but I just realized that I mistakenly got sent regular instead of short! so always double check the inner tag label.

• also linked the effortless crops which are great for petites. At 5 feet tall I can do the crops in either regular or short. 00 regular crops measure 23.5” inseam and 11” rise

• Wilfred off the shoulder Nola sweater xxs - the sleeves were long on me so I folded them under.

I’m trying on “light birch” here which I found to be a little sheer (def wear skin toned undergarments). I ended up getting Matte Pearl instead which is less sheer with a touch of taupe coloring in it.

• The effortless pant cropped length 00 short. Inseam on crop short is 23” and the inseam on 00 crop regular is 23.5” both with an 11” high rise

See my other LTK video post for how the 00 regular crop looks on me - very subtle difference! I ended up getting the regular crop but both were so simialr in fit.

the coordinating jackets linked are petite friendly in their length and shoulders , but sleeves need to be folded or hemmed on me.

Madewell spring pieces

• perfect vintage wide crop jeans 24P - my most worn Madewell denim style, so flattering with flats or a low heel.

See my recent LTK try on for how these same jeans in regular sizing can also work on petites as a full length jean!

I took my usual denim size 24 petite here and applied anti fray to the hems.

• stripe cardigan tank xs - I sized up after reading reviews to an XS here, but my usual size xxs would be better. Xs is a little loose on me at the shoulders and armhole, but this a nice classic knit if you get the right size. If you have a larger chest, tho, reviewers mentioned this style fits slim and would pull at the buttons

I wanted to show how my favorite Perfect vintage wide-leg crop jeans fit on me in regular sizing instead of petite!

These are a 24 regular (not petite) - and are a full length on me instead of cropped, with a high rise on me (while their petites have a mid high rise on me)

Slightly loose at my waist, so for regular sizing I might size down. They also have a wash in regular called Fitzgerald that has finished hems instead of raw hems. Inseam on regular for this size is around 26.5 inches.
