By fashion-industry definition, a petite woman is 5’4” or shorter. If this describes you, then a paucity of contemporary petite clothing options might leave you looking too young or too old for your age. And, if you are like most petites, you spend more time with your tailor than you would like.

“Since there are many body types and sizes that fall within the petite range, personal tailoring is a great option, especially when it comes to items like jacket dresses or two-piece business suits for women. Companies like Moi-Même are recognizing the need for a more personalized fit, and specialize in stylish, tailored custom business wear.”
“If you want to make sure you get petite clothes that fit you and fit you perfectly, you have to check out Moi-Même.” |
“I Can’t Find Decent Colors or Patterns in My Size”Design your own. It may sound indulgent, but having a shirt custom-made to your exact specifications and proportions may not be significantly more expensive than buying off-the-rack. |

PETITE PANTS & PANT SUITS FOR PETITES While all of our styles are available in petite heights, we do not recommend turnaround cuff hems on pants for petite women, as the cuffs visually cut off the vertical line of your legs and might leave them looking shorter than they actually are. If you are a pear-shaped petite (curvy through the hips or thighs), read our recommendations for pear-shaped women. Our suggestion for the perfect pant suit for petite women is to pair one of our shorter silhouette petite suit jackets with one of our made-to-order pants.
PETITE SKIRTS & SKIRT SUITS FOR PETITES We recommend our pencil skirts and “lowercase A-line” silhouette skirts for petite women as an A-line silhouette is often just too much fabric for a petite woman, causing imbalance. A straighter skirt will also emphasize a vertical line, making you look taller. The Cairns pencil skirt is our most popular petite skirt for good reason: the classic style is timeless and, like all our skirts, we will hem it to a length appropriate for your height. For the perfect petite skirt suit, pair one of our shorter silhouette petite suit jackets with one of our made-to-order skirts.
| PETITE JACKETS & PETITE SUIT JACKETS We offer suitable jacket styles for every work environment. Our shorter silhouette petite suit jackets (see Reykjavik, below) were designed specifically with the petite woman in mind. They are all cut a bit shorter to visually lengthen your legs and balance your petite proportions. If you seek a more traditional look, our Torino jacket is a true classic and it will be cut to the appropriate length for your body; this is a style with which you cannot go wrong. For interview suits for petite women, pair the Torino jacket with our Cape Town pant or Cairns pencil skirt.
PETITE SHIRTS & PETITE DRESS SHIRTS We have no specific recommendations as all of our shirts are available in petite lengths. If you have a large bust, however, be sure to read our recommendations for full-chested women.
|
PETITE DRESSES For slim or straight-figured petite women, we highly recommend the Singapore or Seoul sheath dresses as the long, clean lines and fitted look will flatter your figure while giving you length. If you are a bit curvier through the hips, we recommend Melbourne (shown below), a petite dress with a slight A-line skirt. Our tailored dresses are the perfect foundation for our petite suits. In particular, the top-stitched waistband detail of the Singapore dress and side-slit top stitching on our Melbourne dress compliment the detail on our Reykjavik and Madrid petite suit jackets.
