I was just remebering the days when there were entire stores that were for petite. The problem with those however is there was nothing for plus size. In those days petite meant small all over. Oh how I wish I could for a tailor!

I do remember Petite Sophisticate back in the day. Pretty things, too short for me but they had some pretty scarves.
Were there more stores?

Yes, I remember those stores. Unfortunately, I didn't realize then that I qualified as a petite (short-waisted).

@RollTideRoll2008 - I was 5'7" at 10 years old. It wasn't fun, was it? We were just kids but our height made us seem older.

The only store I recall devoted to a specific size segment of the population was 5, 7 and 9

I am 5'2"...Unless it is a petite everything looks ridiculous on me. I am 105 pounds. I like Macy's.com as many offerings are in petite. I do feel Logo has gotten prettier over the years. In the beginning it looked like circus clothing ! However the prices are out of my budget...and besides hardly any petite.
