Moi-Même’s Professional Clothing for Petites

What is personal tailoring?

Personal tailoring is a whole new shopping experience based on the premise that no two bodies are the same and everybody deserves stylish, flattering, well-fitted petite clothing and petite women's suits.

When you order a Moi-Même garment or petite women's suit, one of our style consultants helps you select the most flattering and appropriate style, fabric and lining color - taking into consideration your unique body shape, work environment and professional goals.

Your order is then given to our tailors who craft your individual petite women's clothing and petite suits. From measuring to final delivery, your custom tailored clothing is only 4-6 weeks away.

Moi-Même custom-tailors petite clothing and petite clothing:

How can I get started?

The first step is to have your measurements taken. Here's how:

Petite Pants & Pant Suits for Petites

We custom-tailor all our pants to fit you properly in the rise and we hem the trousers to your height whether you are wearing heels or flats. You will no longer trample on your petite pant hem anymore, looking polished at all times.

Our suggestion for the perfect pant suit for petite women is to pair one of our petite suit jackets with our made-to-measure Cape Town pant, both of which will reflect your sharpness and expertise through a clean cut and chic design.

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.

Petite Skirts & Skirt Suits for Petites

Our petite skirts are custom tailored so we will hem them to your preferred length.

We recommend our pencil 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 other skirts we will hem it to match your personal height.

For the perfect petite skirt suit, pair one of our skirts with one of our petite suit jackets.

Petite Jackets & Petite Suit Jackets

Our made-to-measure petite jackets will not let you down – waistline seams will finally fall where they are supposed to – at the waist. The shoulders will not overwhelm your frame and our high, vertical shoulder seams will accentuate the vertical line of your body. We offer suitable jacket styles for every work environment.

Our Calgary, Edinburgh, Florence, Reykjavik, Madrid and Sofia petite suit jackets were designed specifically with the petite woman in mind. They will all be cut a bit shorter to 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.

Petite Shirts

From the length of your sleeves to the length of your shirt’s hem, everything is just too long! There is too much fabric to tuck it into your skirt or pants and you have had enough of all those oversized shirts.

At Moi-Même, all our petite shirts are custom-made for your individual body proportions. We have no specific recommendations as all of our shirts can be tailored to fit your petite body.

Petite Dresses

Rather than appearing too young or too casual, we know that you want your petite dresses to convey your elegance and your grace. At Moi-Même, our dresses are cut to your preferred hem length; they will not let you down.

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, a petite dress with a slight A-line skirt.

Our tailored dresses are the perfect foundation for our petite suits; 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.

NOTE: We are unable to accommodate Plus sizes (dress sizes 16+) at this time.
