Loving being Petite

7 February 2012 15:12:10 GMT

Have you got the Feel Good Factor? Feeling good about ourselves comes from a positive harmony between our inner self and how we reflect who we are on the outside. Many people, beautiful on the inside, go through their lives unable to fully express how beautiful they really are because they don't know how to make the most of themselves.

Perfect Trousers

Inspiration on the M41.

I drove to Leicester early November, mentally finding the words for my blog... I haven’t quite got the hang of my voice recorder yet! I find the journey long but great for mulling over thoughts and decisions. I’m going to visit my pattern cutter, and hopefully after two long years will be able to sign off on my perfect trouser pattern and pass it to the factory for production!

August brought us riots and the depressing news that half of the UK could be obese by 2030. For the riots we suspect that greed, lawlessness / lack of discipline and a ‘broken society’ are the causes. Could it be the same factors that lead to obesity?

 

From my Petite Perspective I would put the cause as low self-esteem. The expectation of ‘all our school leavers going to university’ or us being ‘a size zero’ is just too high whilst everyday people are constantly reminded of these, and other ideals on the TV, in magazines, newspapers on the internet,.....and become wannabe’s and wannahave’s as they become frustrated with their own lives.

Before I developed my own Karen Gillam label of clothes to fit and flatter the petite figure, I found packing to go away a complete nightmare. This was because in trying to find clothes to fit, I ended up with clothes in my wardrobe that not only didn't co-ordinate in colour but didn't compliment in style enough to work together.

A Techno-phobes Guide to Facebook and Twitter?

15 October 2010 16:08:33 BST

It's taken me a while to get the gist of things, so as a techno-phobe myself I thought it might be useful to share with you what I have learnt in this techno-phobes guide. I hope that this might help you to overcome any barriers to using these really useful tools on the internet and as a fellow petite you will join me on Facebook and/or follow me on Twitter.

When I was in my twenties I don’t remember, as a petite, it being that difficult to buy clothes. What has changed?
