Welcome to Jazz’s Short Stories: Online Edition. If you’re a fan of heat Style Book, you’ll already be familiar with my ramblings about being 4ft11 in fashion, and, if not, it’s about time you improved your reading material. All jokes aside this, is a place where I share my shopping tips and styling tricks for those of us whose portions run on the petite side. And, if you're not petite think of them as a few tricks for making the most of your supermodel stature. Let's get shopping...
As a petite stylist, I'm always being asked one thing whenever I run into another petite person: ' Where do you buy your clothes from?'
Because, let's be real, finding brands with strong petite offerings can be a little tricky and for us short gals hearing a new shop that sells trousers that won't drag along behind us is pretty close to finding the holy grail.
So, when I happened upon Warehouse's petite offering it's fair to say I was pretty excited. Featuring over 200 styles they have an extensive range offering everything from dresses to suiting and occasion wear all designed for those of us under 5ft3".
You bet I couldn't place my order fast enough.
And, because sharing is caring I thought why not bring you along for the try on too.
So here are my best picks from Warehouse's petite range along with a few handy styling tips to show them off to their best. Let's get shopping...

1. The Short Suit
There's nothing like a suit to make you feel powerful and this golden hued one is a winner for Summer. Pair with something simple like this white tee to let it do ALL the talking.

Warehouse Petite Relaxed Double Breasted Blazer
Warehouse Petite Fluid Tailored City Short
2. The Occasion Dress
Wedding season is officially upon us and this hot pink number is the perfect wedding guest dress. Spot the clever ruching at the centre: it not only disguises any areas you'd rather not highlight but also draws the eye downwards to elongate petite frames.

Jemma Lewis X Wh Petite Marble Ruched Dress
3. The Holiday Jumpsuit
This is probably my favourite piece from my order. Not only is the leg length perfect but the bow detailing can be altered for different styles. I've worn it open here but it also looks great tied round the neck for a halter neck fit - great if you've got a bigger bust and need extra support.
3. The Holiday Jumpsuit
Warehouse Petite Halter Cut Out Wide Leg Jumpsuit
4. The Boilersuit
I'm very into a boilersuit at the moment and this one is no exception. The puff sleeves are great for balancing out petite proportions while the high waisted belt effect makes legs look longer.

Warehouse Petite Twill Utility Belted Boilersuit
5. The Midi Dres
A midi dress is a seriously hardworking item to have in your wardrobe. I've paired this one with simple mules for a dressed up look but it'd also look great paired with court heels for the office, or, trainers for day-to-day.
