  I love midi length dresses. Wooland dresses are just too long for petites! Also, is XS people can’t size down, so most of the choices don’t fit.

  Agree! And smaller sizes in general, especially Sierra dress. Everyone seems to size down, but how can us “true” XS girls do that?! We need Sierra and other large running dresses in xxs!!!

  I don't mind having dresses hemmed, but it's much more complicated than that with a fitted or waistbanded dress. With petite proportions, the waistband or the natural curve of the waist falls close to my hip. Very unflattering! Petite is about proportion, not just length, and having the fitted and waistbanded dresses proportioned for petites would make them more wearable. Even Camellia, despite not being fitted, would be much more flattering if it accounted for a shorter waist. Thanks for considering!

  A shorter maxi dress (audrey) please.

  Particularly for fitted-waist styles like Amalya, Ellie, Charlotte, etc.

  Also provide images with a petite model, 5'3" or under for the "regular" clothes.

  Just chiming in in support of petite length leggings, xxs Sierra, and petite sizes for more fitted styles to help with arm hole gaps and pocket placement.

  I love midi length, but most Wooland dresses are all around too big… Shoulders, arm holes, wastes, and length are all issues I have encountered.

  Petite sizing is definitely needed in dresses, shirts and pants/leggings!! Please add some petite sizing!!

  True petite sizing, not just shorter lengths, but actually adjusted to petite proportions, like where the pockets are, and where the waist hits (and still available in a range of sizes, you can be petite and large!)

  I would like to see slim cut dresses which fall above my knee, not under my knee. I'm 5'1" for reference. A short dress like the Milena would be wonderful sleeveless or short sleeve with a V-neck or scoop. Swing dresses don't look good on me with all that extra fabric.

  Would love to see petite clothing on heavier models. Heavier does not always mean taller or longer legs/arms. I’m 5’1” ~190#.

  I would love to buy one of your skirts, but being 5 feet tall, I would be tripping over it

  Petite lengths at least in the more popular styles, Sierra Tank, Rowena and leggings!

  True petite sizing would be amazing, especially for dresses that are fit and flare, or have a defined waistline. I love styles like Brooklyn, Ellie, Fiona etc but the cut hits me in all the wrong places!

  If true petite sizing is being considered, but isn’t feasible at this time, could you at least offer shorter lengths now?

  Yes, offer petite sizing especially in Sierra and Rowena. Arm holes, waistlines, and pockets require special proportions. Now I can't even touch the bottom of the pockets easily in the small Camellia.

  Seems like a lot of styles are not true to size if people are sizing down. However, we xs folks are not able to size down.

  Please add true petite sizing. It isn’t just about hemming (I even have to have petite lengths hemmed), it’s shoulder width, armhole placement, where waist hits, pocket placement. Half of women are under 5’4” -what’s more women 5’0 and under will become loyal customers because it is so hard to find clothes that fit.

  A looooot of the population is 5'4" and shorter, and we should not have to alter ready-to-wear garments to get them to fit correctly.

  Petites in the longer dresses, especially.

  The "Shop by Model" feature is great...but could one of your models be 5' 1"?

  Think Audrey will fit the 5’5” gals without altering. Would like a shorter option for the petite group, keeping the slits. Without short options, the midi dresses (Summer and Sofia) become maxi for the petites.

  I am 5’2” and average weight and would like to see short human models in your ads. That would show you the need for petite size dresses and leggings.

  Leggings for shorter legged or petite woolies! Not as short as cropped and not as long as regular:)

  Yes, especially in leggings and bike shorts - they are baggy between the legs (too big)

  I’m 5’-4” and a size small, and most of my returns are due to the waistline of the garment hitting my hips. When a dress has pockets, the pockets rest unflatteringly on my thighs. Ordering an XS would not work because it would end up too narrow in the shoulders and still too long in the waist. A few dresses and tops in true petite proportions would be soooo appreciated.

  petite sizes for long-sleeve tops would be great so the sleeves fit properly on women with shorter arm lengths

  Agreed! You carry plus-sized, would love dresses for us smaller ladies! At least some XXS options if not true petite sizing!

  Can’t upvote this request for actual petite sizing enough! Truly petite. For slim and not so slim petites too!

  Please offer petite sizes for the Rosso pant and any other ankle or cropped pants. These should be actual petite sizes so the curve of the leg is proportional, not just the regular sizes with shorter lengths. I could hem the regular Rosso pant, sure, but it’s obvious the knee isn’t in the right place on shorter legs.

  Petite people are not proportioned like taller people. Please remember us!

  Anything to be more accessible to short and small people would be great, at least for some of the most popular pieces! Petite sizes or short length option, xxs size in items that run large, shorter models so we can get a sense of what pieces look like on someone closer to our height.

  My wish is a petite Mia V that I could wear for exercise classes, hiking, etc. At 5 ft and 140 lbs the large fits more like a tunic and doesn't work well for these activities. Love the fabric!

  I can't bring myself to spend $150 on a dress that fits wrong all over. Even Old Navy has petite sizing... pretty please! And it's not the same as an XS - petite sizing should be offered up to XXL because short women still have curves.

  5'0", short waisted, & 147 lbs. here! I love my wool& summit bike shorts, leggings (though all come up to my boobs), small Sierra, and medium Maggie. But I hesitate on the Summit straight cut leggings (will be way too long) & moto jacket (sleeves & length will be too long) though I want both very much! So many woolies seem okay with spending more $ on alterations, but I kind of resent the suggestion! I want to buy a new piece that actually fits me. Please consider petite sizes!

  I would love petite sizes that are truly sized for petites, that is shorter waist and sleeves, not just shorter lengths. In regular sizes, scoop and v-necks end up near my belly button and long sleeves look like a child playing dress up in adult clothes! Not the look an older woman is looking for. Alterations are complicated and expensive, so while I’d love to buy your lovely products, I’ll wait.

  I am 4-11. I would love a travel capsule wardrobe made to fit my 115 lb size. Petite fit is different. Please!!!!
