I found Balzac through the Serafina site. Balzac, whose slogan is "petite wear with a genuine flair," was founded by Lynn Colclough of Irvine, California. Balzac's clothes are cut to fit all petite figures, not the skinny, size 00P woman. According to the website, the clothes are tailored to fit a missy petite body and ranges from 0P to 10P. The waist measurements are a little more generous than many other petite lines, so those of us who are really tiny may actually be too small for Balzac's line. 0P, for example, is cut to fit someone with a 27" natural waist and 30" low waist.
Balzac carries dresses, tops, dresses and pants. The pants have an inseam of 30" and are meant to be worn with a mid-height heel. The Spring 2008 collection is very vibrant, with light blue, pink and green. One of my favourites is the shorter version of the Vintage Joanny Dress ($189). The longer dress costs $225. In general, pieces range from $125 to $249. Not too bad.
