I'm a size 2/4 petite on bottom and probably a size 8 or 10 on top (32DDD)! Finding dresses that fit is a nightmare, and being a meagerly paid PhD student, the idea of spending hundreds on alterations is quite frightening. Any suggestions?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28238767.post-88454288639294707422008-07-25T22:09:00.000-04:002008-07-25T22:09:00.000-04:00How come you don't post anymore?

I'm not even 5 feet, I think 4'11. I wear size 5 shoes, but for heels size 5 is still too big!! I can't get proper work shoes.. boots and sandals are fine. Slingbacks are OK. But I can't find regular pumps. I also rely on BR and Ann Taylor for pants.. but I still need a belt and they are a tad too long..Winniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00646248684096672231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28238767.post-80681111815412169642008-06-05T18:45:00.000-04:002008-06-05T18:45:00.000-04:00Hey.

The shopping is a nightmare. I am 4 10 and I weight 85 pounds. Why you stopped posting in your blog. Please start again because a lot of petite girls/women have the same problemAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28238767.post-91009272819658688952007-09-14T12:03:00.000-04:002007-09-14T12:03:00.000-04:00oh man, you're so lucky, at least you've got an in...oh man, you're so lucky, at least you've got an inch on me! cute site!Specialkallehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05722245471009087915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28238767.post-45707512642771252802007-07-12T23:48:00.000-04:002007-07-12T23:48:00.000-04:00http://blogs.business2.com/design/2006/11/little_p...http://blogs.business2.com/design/2006/11/little_people_b.html<BR/><BR/>I found this article and thought it was interesting.
