I’ve just got an email off Dotty P’s telling me that they’ve got a 20% off sale on all skirts. So I thought I’d pass it on to you.

Skirts are big this summer, so get yours now as their sale is for a limited period only! Here’s what they have in their petite range.

I like the white cutwork skirst and the dobby frill one, and as they are both petite then they should fit perfectly!

If you get any good offers then don’t forget to add it to the comment section below.

So after Gok Wan’s top tips for Dorothy Perkins I thought I would find some awesome nude peep toe shoes. This is what Gok Wan says in the video:

Girls when it comes to shoes make sure the shoe is the same tone as your leg or wear a dark tight and a dark shoe, they will make you taller and slimmer in seconds

So that’s why I’ve looked in all the shops and found these great nude peep toes from Additions Direct and New Look.

Additions Direct - Definitions “Yasmin” patent peep toe shoes

New Look - Patent Peep Toe

So get your hands on one of these bad boys and you’ll never need to stand on my tip toes again!

Don’t forget if you have any petite to tall making heels then post them here by adding a comment below.

Yo Shorty Petite Points:

I’m going to give BHS petite range 3.5 out of 5 points. I’ve dropped the points down a little just because the petite range is not as big as I would have expected it to be.

Oh my god! Dorothy Perkins have gone one step beyond with this great section dedicated to Dainty Diva’s which has been devised and hosted by the great Gok Wan from How to Look Good Naked!!

If you go to the Dainty Divas section of the site then you will find all his tips on how to dress for your body type.

This is of course a ploy for you to buy from Dorothy Perkins range and Gok looks less than impressed by this purely commercial tip generation, but I do believe that there are some good tips in there and so great peices from Dorothy Perkins for the petite women out there.

I couldn’t get the videos off the Dorothy Perkins site to let you see them on Yo Shorty, but here is something he did for Indesit moon washing machines. Again I don’t think he’s putting his heart into it like he does on the TV, but they are good tips none the less… oh and before you rush off to get your moon washing machine, I’ve checked the site and they don’t seem to have the competition on there anymore!

Enjoy watching the fabulous Gok Wan and pick up some good tips for dressing to impress as a petite diva!

So go on get over there now.

For a limited period Miss Selfridge is offering 25% off their linen trousers online!

Brilliant, I’ve already ordered mine and with summer just around the corner they’ll be on my bum for the next four months I bet!

You’ll find the following on the site in Petite from size 6 to 14, not a very big petite size range but if you do fit in there then you’ll get them for £21 instead of the standard £28.

They have them in White, Brown and Black so why not get a pair of each they should fit perfectly. Oh and get there now this is for a limited time only!

Let me know what you think about the petite linen trousers by adding a comment below.

Love ya,

Evans is the key store for the plus size petite. As my sister and mother are both curvier ladies you can’t ask for more than the petite range at Evans.

Does it have it’s own petite clothing collection?

Yes, Evans has it’s own petite range listed at the bottom right hand navigation when you get to the site.

What sizes does it offer?

Evans’ petite range comes in sizes 14 to 32, clearly focusing on the plus sized petite.

What is Evans delivery policy and costs?

Evans don’t seem to have a free delivery options, but I’ll get on to them and try and get a discount code for you, keep checking back for updates. The standard delivery cost is £4 and next day is only £5 so not too bad anyway.

And what about their returns policy?

This is just the same as Wallis, you have 14 days to return an item and to do this you have to go to their site and download a form to send along with it, seems a little complicated but I suppose if you want to send your things back then you have to do it. The good thing is that its free to return the items you order.

The other option is to return it to store but I would reccommend taking the order form with you.

OFFERS

They are currently running a sale where items can be found from £7

Are you too late for this offer? Well click here to go to the site and see what they have on offer now.

So come on Vikki, how easy is the site to use?

Navigation: Evans have a really simple left hand navigation with some key functional links at the top. They only have 3 categories within their petite section but they cover your 3 key areas:

Shopping Basket: To add something to your shopping basket you have to first select a size and then click on add to bag. A pink box will then show up indicating that your product has been addded to your basket. They also have a nice wishlist function available too!

And what’s your favourite bit of petite clothing on there then?

These petite jeans are great! They are bootleg and come in a great shade of indigo totally suited to the curvier large petite sizes.

Yo Shorty Petite Points:

I’m going to give Wallis petite range 3 out of 5 points a little lower due to the high value of the free delivery and that not all items go up to the size 32 as they suggest, but if you are a plus size petite then you can’t go wrong with Evans for quality and variation.

I was always under the impression that Wallis was full of stuffy suits and boring tops but it turns out I was wrong. It’s great, I especially love the floaty summer tops they have on there.

Does it have it’s own petite clothing collection?

Yes, Wallis has it’s own petite range clearly labeled in the right hand navigation when you get to the site.

What sizes does it offer?

Wallis’ petite range comes in sizes 6 to 18, not as comprehensive as some sites but definately a wide enough range of petite size clothing for most.

What is Wallis’ delivery policy and costs?

Wallis are now offering free standard delivery on all orders over £70. A little higher than other stores but with a slightly higher cost than some of the other stores per item that’s only a top and a skirt. The standard delivery cost is £4 and next day is only £5 so if you don’t manage to get to the £70 for free delivery you could always go for that.

And what about their returns policy?

You have 14 days to return an item and to do this you have to go to their site and download a form to send along with it, seems a little complicated but I suppose if you want to send your things back then you have to do it. The good thing is that its free to return the items you order.

The other option is to return it to store but I would reccommend taking the order form with you.

What offers do they have on?

They have a 10% off offer for giving them your email address, you can unsubscribe at anytime so I can’t see a reason not to do this!

Yes, M and Co has its own petite clohing section on the site and it is clearly labled on the top navigation of the site.

What is M and Co’s delivery policy and costs?

Curently M and Co are offering free delivery on all orders over £40! Brilliant!! You can’t ask for any better than that. The standard delivery cost is only £3.50 too so if you don’t spend £40 then it’s really reasonable anyway.

And what about their returns policy?

Now this couldn’t be easier, just fill in the returns form which will be in with your clothes and then put the free returns address label on there and take it to the post office. M and Co will then refund your money within 28 days. Howere please note that if you took them up on their free delivery and then choose to return the poduct you will be charged for the postage.

• Wash ifo
• Fabric composition
• Enlarge image

They also have a really simple way of ticking items in stock, crossing items out of stock and also offering you the option to recieve an email when it comes back into stock.

Shopping Basket: The only thing that confused me is that unlike other sites where when you click on an item you want you are taken to the shopping basket they just tell you that the product has been added, this meant that I managed to add 3 skirts to my basket! Ooops!!

Checkout: Once you decide to check out you will be asked to add your email and then proceed to checkout. Once you get to the checkout it is clearly marked that there are 4 steps in total to checkout. They also have info on the security on their site, and the lock symbol is shown so you know your in safe hands.

Goodness I just keep reviewing great sites.

Additions direct are another with a dedicated petite clothing section. The sizes go from a slender 6 to a curvaceous 20, meaning that all petite sizes are catered for.

Although additions direct doesn’t have the same level of navigation as Marks and Spencers Petite section. They have a nifty sliding navigation like your reading their catalogue keeping the petite items that go together on the same page.

They’ve also got petite maternity jeans which I’m guessing must be a god send to any petite pregnant lady

My favourite item on there is this fantastic coral petite dress with a ribbon tie at the back… actually it’s so fabulous I’m not just going to review it, I’m going to buy it!

Check Addititons Direct Petite Range out now and report back below, other shorties are counting on you!
