Where to buy clothes in smaller sizes?

[Deleted]

J. Crew used to be my go to, but I'm trying to cut back my clothing budget. I'm a 0 Petite in Jcrew. Any ideas on where I could find some more budget friendly items in my size?

You could try Loft or Ann Taylor, and their outlets. I'm a 2P in jcrew as well as Ann Taylor/loft. You may also find some pieces at The Limited but some of their stuff runs bigger. Gap and Old Navy are hit or miss. And watch for sales. You can often find things at a good discount in the tiny sizes.

Have you tried Charlotte Russe, Chloelovescharlie, or Dorothy Perkins?

ehhh.... all those stores are notorious for vanity sizing. I'm a 2 at all of those as well, but wear a 4/6 most other places, size 27 in jeans. I'm 5'4" and between 115 and 120 pounds, so I don't call myself petite.

my sisters both wear 0 (both are 5'2" and ~95 pounds) and I'd never recommend the above stores to them. they're sized out and don't shop at the aforementioned places. they find their clothes at Target, AE and the department stores (Dillards, JCPenney, Macy's, and the like), and jeans at Buckle.

Not the poster, but thanks for sharing this. Super helpful for another tiny person here!

FYI, She has other petite bloggers' links too. Wendy is one of my favorite but I can't remember her link right now. LOL!

Oh also, I saw the smallest size was 0P in dresses but didn't check the pants.
