Today's Boxing Day in Canada, which means shopping, shopping, shopping. However, I wasn't able to find A THING. Banana Republic may be taking 20% off everyone's total purchases today only, but practically everything was GONE. Over the Rainbow was a zoo, and of course, the only petite line they have there was Paige. And I'm sorry, but the staff wasn't all that knowledgeable about which brands come in petite sizes in general. I asked whether they plan on carrying Joe's Provocateur, but even the manager didn't really seem to know what I was talking about. But maybe it just wasn't a good time to ask - the entire store was a completely crazy.
I'm actually really upset that many stores which DO carry any sort of petite brand or petite version seem to hide them. Unless it's a major chain like Banana Republic or Talbots, you have to ASK. If you DON'T then you'll never find it. Availability of petite lengths should be very much out there and part of a store's marketing strategy. People won't know unless you tell them. Not everyone knows people nor do they check up on websites to find out about petite availability. You shouldn't have to rely on alterations if you don't need it. And many petite peopld don't need it - as long as petite lengths are available.
Thanks.
