"I really struggle dressing my body and never feel I nail the right styles, but this has really helped me understand where I was going wrong and what to look out for"

"This is the best guide (and I've bought a few!), comprehensive yet focused"

"Thank you Kim, I felt like I was going mad because I could never find clothes to fit me and now I realise I'm a petite but also an inverted triangle with a long torso. Who knew that was even a thing?

After years of not really relating to any of the body shapes on the internet, I've realised I'm 'slim apple' - thank you. I feel seen!!"

"I found the body shape guide fantastic! It was very easy to read and had a lot of helpful info, especially the torso/leg measurements. I’m very happy with the purchase"

Petite

“Petite” refers only to height, not weight/size, so I’ve created a fit guide for women 5ft 4” / 164cm and below

The crazy fact is, the average height of women in Australia and globally, IS PETITE!! and includes about 65-70% of my clients! So no wonder so many women struggle with buying clothes that fit their proportions, they’re looking in the wrong place!!

Contains 9 pages of expert tips and strategies to help you navigate dressing as a petite person, even if you’re not perfectly proportioned

Combination Body Type

Because ‘petite’ only relates to height, you might well be a ‘petite athletic’ or a ‘petite pear’

That’s why my ‘petite” fit guide sits alongside one of the other body type guides (apple/pear etc) available on this page

There’s also suggestions for fashion brands that are petite & plus size #petiteplus

What’s Included:

Definition of your body shape
How petite clothes differ from main range
How to shop if only part of your body is petite (torso OR leg)?
Vertical proportions = comparing torso & leg length, how to work out of you’re balanced or unbalanced and the clothes that address this
Best dedicated petite fashion brands
Other brands that work well for petite proportions in Australia
