Category: Dressing Your Body Type

This is a tongue-in-cheek title for one of the most math-y videos I’ve ever done. (That is too a word! Look it up!). Anyway, YouTube liked the title, so I’m going with it, although these details are less about getting it right and more about tweaking it until you’re happy with the result. It’s less […]

I loved being pregnant. It was the only time in my life that I was really excited about the size of my tummy. Since then, it’s been a bit of a nuisance, as pants that start out feeling comfortable can be snug by the end of the day. Not all tummies are created equal, of […]

I know that you think that you’re the hardest person in the world to fit, and I’m sure sometimes it feels that way. But I’m here to tell you that you’re wrong. I am the hardest person in the world to fit. After seconds of soul-searching and lots of anecdotal research, I have determined that […]

Ugh. The challenges of shopping as a woman in 2023 are too real. We have more choices than ever before, almost too many, but the options still seem limited. This is especially true of those of us outside of standard size ranges. Try finding a petite top in 2023. It’s harder than ever. The same […]

It’s one thing to understand your body type. It’s another to dress for it. Sometimes, the doing is tricky and we find ourselves falling into the same old everyday looks that do nothing to honor our body shapes.

I cannot wait for you to meet Judy! I know you’ll love her as much as I do. First of all, you have a lot in common. Like Judy, you’re also beautiful, fun, and trying to look your best every day, regardless of your age and stage. Sure, Judy’s enviable height (5’8″!) and hourglass shape […]

I have good news and I have bad news. Which do you want to hear first? The good news is that we have way more options in 2022 as petites than ever before. From brands and sites that sell by inseam, to mainstream mall brands with large petite departments, our options are broader than ever. […]

Let me set the record straight about straight body types. (I’m so corny!). Seriously, though. So many women with this body shape struggle to dress their bodies in a flattering way without recognizing that they are secretly supermodels. Sure, supermodels may have more inches when it comes to height and fewer inches everywhere else, but […]

I’m not typically a fan of wishy-washy trends. I like a dress that knows what it truly is and isn’t afraid to express it. A mini, for example, knows it’s short and sassy, while a maxi is long and breezy. But a midi? It can’t seem to make up its mind. Fortunately, I decided to […]
