Most petite clothing is a regular pattern shortened at the hem and cuff. Ours isn't. Here's how every Nectar piece is built for women 5'4" and under — and how to find the cut that fits you.
We don't grade down from a standard size. Every Nectar pattern starts on a 5'2" form, so shoulder slope, armhole depth, and torso length are right the first time — never shortened after the fact.
Lengths vary by style—from petite midi to floor-skimming maxi. Every product page includes garment-specific measurements and a model-height reference. Sleeves end at the wrist bone, not past the knuckles. Rises sit at the natural waist instead of below the bust.
Heavy wovens overwhelm a petite silhouette. We choose lighter, fluid fabrics and scale prints, trims, and hardware so that a collar, button, or floral repeat reads in proportion on a smaller frame.
