KAREN GILLAM NEWSLETTER

After a lifetime of frustration trying to find clothes that fit, at 5â€™1Â½â€ tall, Karen Gillam, launched her own Collection of Petite Clothing in 2006. Since then many petite woman now share the pleasure of wearing her designs from her capsule wardrobe which includes petite dresses, tops and trousers exclusively for the Shorter Woman 5' 3" and under, in Sizes 6 â€“ 18.

Many petite women experience problems and frustration that in dressing. The Karen Gillam brand addresses these issues.

Size and Fit - regular sized labels, as a whole, assume that as a woman increases in size she gets taller, broader in the shoulders and longer in the arms. Where does this leave the size 18, 5â€™ tall woman? Drowned, as if she were a child wearing her mothers clothes! So, she developed her own sizing block for the Karen Gillam brand which doesn't grow in sleeve length, body length, leg length and shoulder width with size. It also recognises that petites are more shapely as size increases.

Style â€“ many of the latest fashionable styles do not complement petites, making them look even shorter and wider. But, she designs to make sure that the Karen Gillam Collection maximises what is fashionable with what is flattering to shorter women.

Unique Designer Label â€“ all their Karen Gillam designs carry the Karen Gillam label which means that they are Exclusive, Original and Unique. So you get designer garments without designer prices.

Petites have been overlooked when it comes to fashion, so join with them and celebrate being petite!
