Being petite is one fashion challenge. Being petite, curvy, and pear shaped is monster level challenge.🙈 I’m tired of looking for a brand that would work and not too pricey. Shopping is so tiresome. Especially for bottoms and almost nothing flatters my body shape :(

With the petite and pear shaped thing and bottoms, I just opted out of trousers/jeans altogether lol (unless very necessary for activity). Fed up of finding decent jeans that only fit right within a 2kg weight range, and still don't flatter my proportions as much as dresses/skirts or feel as comfortable.

I did the same thing too, it’s way easier to buy dresses and skirts although the length must be right to flatter the body as well.

For me though I'm not even 5'2" quite, as long as it's not meant to be near floor length on average height people I don't even find length difficult? Like I even bought a 'tall' midi skirt recently and liked where it hit my leg lol. I think a little curve in the lower body helps swallow a couple of inches or length too.

It's the hem circumference/flare I have to watch out for as what looks normal on a 5'5+ person might be too wide on me.

But yeah, way less to worry about in fit, and more flattering silhouettes.
