  1. haha! Thanks so much for answering a question that is on my mind all the time!! My boyfriend hates this when I ask it and cringes to give answer to it because he is afraid to ruin our date!!!hehe I have been one of your biggest fans since I find bellapetite it is the best! I am very encouraged for petite fashion and I go to FIDM and want to design for petite women someday and plan to work with bellapetite 😉 I too understand scale, style, and fit and the role they play on our petite figures. This is very helpful for us petites I think! Thank you Ann Lauren for doing so much for petite women to enjoy fashion too!!!

  2. I am such a big fan of yours Ann Lauren! You have made a positive difference in my confidence as a petite woman and I feel like now we have our place in beauty and fashion with everything you and your team of fab petite women. I always listen to your radio show and enjoy your guest! Please don’t ever give up on petite women because without your efforts we’d still be persona non-grata in fashion.

  3. I find this article quite refreshing and all the time I think to myself do I look fat in this and I’ll ask my man and he rolls his eyes! LOL Thank you for your advice on what is confusing to so many of us! Ann Lauren you are fantastic for stepping up for us petite ladies and taking a stand in the fashion world!

  4. This is the best question that all women ask all the time! LOL I know the men in our lives hate it and so do our friends and I hate it too when asked because I don’t want to tell the truth!! haha! I really love what you are doing Ann for us petites! Bellapetite has done more than every magazine on the planet for petite women and I was in one of your shows years ago and it was great to meet you and be in it! I always knew you would be the woman to make this happen for us! Don’t every stop being the most inspiring petite woman on the planet!
