A petite size is traditionally clothing that is cut for women shorter then 5′4″ however the sizing is no different. For instance, a size 6 petite is a size 6 regular but the petite clothing will be cut shorter. Here are some tips for dressing a petite frame during pregnancy.

  • To save you a trip to the tailor, shop stores that carry a petite maternity line (Isabella Oliver and Bella Blu Maternity) when buying pants, shorts, or dresses.
  • Form-fitting clothes (jersey wrap dress, form-fitting tees) will flatter your small frame better then large, loose clothing.
  • Outfits that are all one color (monochromatic) will lengthen you and give you added height. Wear some fun accessories to give your outfit some added flair.
  • Don’t carry a huge diaper bag—find one that is proportionate to your frame.
    The Isabella Oliver Smooth Line Trousers and Side Tie Top in black (pictured) would perfectly fit and flatter your petite pregnant body.
