hello petite republic 🙂
firstly, i love your blog – my only problem is that i’m on the opposite spectrum! i tend to be too tall for fashion [sadly, i’m only 5’8″ – but stores here hate me!]
i just wanted to spread the word about the blog i just started. it’s a work in progress, certainly, but so are my sewing skills 🙂 it would be nice if i could get a bit of a following to ask for advice and opinions. plus the occasion compliments [i can be hopeful, yes?] would be a nice ego boost 🙂
again, lovely blog, lovely work.

Hi Petite Republic, great blog! Love everything that you’ve done…even the kitchen 😉
I have a question for you in regards to the jeans you created. If, for instance, there is a knee opening (measured 13″ down the crotch from edge to edge) at, let’s say 7″ so 14″ if multiplied by 2. How do I go about using your formula for back and front patterns if i don’t intend on taking the circumference measurement and only rely on the edge to edge measurement.
Thank you and again keep the blog going =)
Hi Juebejue! I can’t find an email address to reach you…can you email me? 😉

Hi Erin,
First, congratulations on your website. Being petite myself, I’m finding it very useful. And may I offer you a copy of a book we just published called The Petite Advantage – press release follows – because it explains why petites don’t do well on a one size fits all diet. If you are interested, I can send you a copy. Thanks. Here’s the press release. Jim appeared on Good Morning American yesterday to discuss the book – and will be on Dr. Oz on January 16.

The Petite Advantage Diet
By Jim Karas
After more than twenty years as a weight-loss and fitness expert, Jim Karas had seen enough body types to know one thing for sure: petite women’s greatest advantage is also their greatest disadvantage—their bodies have the potential to change rapidly. Now, if you want to lose weight and you have the right program, this is great news. But if you’re under stress, have developed bad eating habits, and have become sedentary, it’s disastrous. And petite women know this! They’ve watched their lanky friends eat pizza and drink beer without gaining an ounce, while they quickly gained the infamous freshman fifteen. They’ve watched their taller gal pals instantly drop the baby weight, while they still made excuses as their babies turned to toddlers.
Here is the take away: shorter women are perfectly poised to lose weight, more quickly regain their shape, and add more muscle mass than their taller sisters and friends. Now, The Petite Advantage Diet reveals that, with the right mindset and a few strategic changes, weight loss is not only possible, it is possible this week!
Karas enlists petites to embrace their advantages, go after real and rapid results using his program, and get serious about creating lasting change in their body shape. From a strategic 21-day eating plan to detailed exercise instruction to easy-to-implement tips on what to drink, how to eat out, and even how to cultivate better posture, Karas has created a truly holistic program for this body-conscious group.
The Petite Advantage Diet is packed with promise: Readers will learn that carbs can be their friend. They’ll see why cardio workouts—in the form of all those bikes, steppers, and elliptical machines—are actually a surprising way for petites to gain weight. And, because petite women are typically faster, more flexible, and more structurally aligned, they’ll quickly understand why strength training is their shortcut to tall benefits. From portion sizes to dress sizes, everything in this plan is the perfect fit for any woman 5’4 and under. The best news of all? For petite people, small changes can really add up.
Jim Karas is a lifestyle expert who combines a degree from the Wharton School of Business with over twenty-six years of unparalleled success in helping people look and feel their very best. He is the author of three New York Times bestselling books, including the #1 bestseller The Business Plan for the Body. Jim has been the fitness contributor on ABC’s Good Morning America and is frequently seen on The View, and The Dr. Oz Show.
