My wish is for Kim G to do shirts such as this in petites.

A647802

I wear cropped tops best and this type of shirt in a shorter length would be so much appreciated by me!

Agreed!!

Since Kim's line is so popular here, It would be nice to have not only petite length on long sleeves, but a shorter overall length.

 I purchased this striped tee A647804 in the green color and it looks & fits great!  It's very lightweight and will be a nice top to take on vacation if it's hot but the body is much too long for me.  I'm going to have three inches hemmed up for me.  At 5'1" I not longer want to wear tunics.

@LTT1 - I agree!  There have been many requests here asking for petite tops on the forums and on the live chat, and all have fallen on deaf ears.  They never respond.  I laugh when they say the shirts/tops look on good on all including petites.  They don't!  I'm saving money not buying Kim's tops, but QVC is losing out by ignoring the petites.

PETITES...are cut narrower in the shoulders!     I am 4'10"  and cannot wear a petite top because I have "swimmers" shoulders...     

Be SURE to check the garment measurements before you buy!    di

Edited to add:    I usually have to go UP a size in any top because my shoulders are so broad.

@Desertdi I don't have that problem but I'm a bit on the busty side.  I just purchased a short sleeved blouse from Denim & Co A650604 in a medium....I need the extra coverage over the bust area.  The length is good and I like the material & print (I'm not usually into prints) but the middle & bottom are huge!

It adds at least 10lbs. to my frame since Im swimming in extra fabric.  It is frustrating sometimes!

You wanna know what "gets me" the most?     Those HUGE gaping low armholes on some sleeveless tops!  My entire bra band shows.    di

@Desertdi. @haddon9.  What has happened to D&C with all the dolman sleeves?  Never saw them before this year and suddenly that's mostly what they have.  They offer little more coverage than sleeveless.  I hate them and the way they look but they'd be much cheaper to manufacture with no set-in sleeve.

YUP...dolman sleeves:   cheap cheap cheap...and NOT very flattering.   I look round-shouldered with drooping...(you know whats).    di

[Kachina624]

@Desertdi.  They also make wide shoulders look even wider.

I don't know who's buying it, but D&C sure is no longer directed toward middle age + older women.

Dolman...so eight to five years ago and yet it continues here and elsewhere. For me not a good look then, still not a good look now.
