J.Crew's Stretch Twill Minnie on Shorty Stories


Several petite bloggers have reviewed one of the two Minnie pants available in petite sizes, and many have found that it didn't fit them very well.  For me, I think it's really about finding the right shoe to go with it.  From reading all the other sites, I knew that wearing flats just wouldn't work, even for those who're over 5' tall, so I only took pictures of me in heels or wedges. 



Since the Minnie is skinny, I knew that it would work best with a slightly looser top, so for the first picture, I wore a blue cardigan from Jacob.  The outfit probably needs a little more dressing up, since the cardigan is not too bright and therefore not making the outfit "pop." 




I also have the same cardigan in a bright green, so this time around, I don't need additional accessories.  But do you think this outfit looks too "Peter Pan" with heels? Oh and yeah, the belt probably needs to be centred more.



For those who like the Minnie, yet feel that the length just isn't quite right, there's always this solution - tucking it under boots.  Because the pant is capri length, it makes tucking so much easier - there's no bulkiness like what you'd find in regular length skinnies!

BTW, apologies for the uneveness of the pics.  I think my camera wasn't fastened tightly enough on my tripod, thus creating a slight tilt.  My apartment is actually even!

Alterations Needed Gilt Groupe UPDATE

So I got the same generic reply from Gilt Groupe that Alterations Needed and Jezebel got (I was the one who notified Jezebel about this, by the way). Basically, the Gilt Groupe rep (who is petite, by the way, at 5'1") said that it was all about the money. This is what I said in response to her e-mail:

The issue both Alterations Needed and I have is that the "look" isn't right - when you put a petite pant on a standard size model, you don't get the same look and feel as you would on a petite model. As a shopper, I want to see what an outfit might look in a more realistic light. If I see cropped pants, I expect to get cropped pants (or something in between, since I'm also petite), not a pair of pants that is full length. Most petite women aren't open about this, but then again, they're usually silenced by the so-called "fashion industry." Imagine if we were size 16 or larger women. Most plus lines actually use full-figured models.

Gilt Groupe's response? A generic "we appreciate your feedback" reply. Yeah. WTF, right?
