None of the items look as bad as you think Rhi! I think the navy trousers look really lovely with your wedges and I don’t actually think they’re too long.
Hi Rhian,not all bad.The navy trousers looked fine and a fashionable length with your wedge shoes. The jumpsuit looked good and it is important to be able to sit down in them so a little extra length in the body is needed. I love your reviews.💖
Hi Rhian I know exactly what you mean. I am definately petite and sadly petite does not always mean petite with some clothing lines. I am usually 27” inside leg measurement and whenever I purchase trousers I have to get them altered. Frustrating!!. I therefore purchase from Cotton Traders who have 27”, 29” and 31” inside leg and are very stretchy. I love them. I feel comfortable, easy care, for me ideal. I feel for you Rhian. Thanks for sharing xx
I’m a 24/25 it’s a nightmare I hate the extra long petite dragging on the floor. But it seams companies are going for long legs now. My cuz got me Primark fleecy leggings they are crop on her I ended up folding them back up to my thighs. All jackets seam to have long arms too now many petite have long body short arm and leg. And it must be hard to make clothes for every body shape but I don’t remember it being this hard
Hello Rhi,,,the navy blue trousers just need a little hem..Sizes today are all over the place so is the lenghs.I too am 5 ft.size 12/14 even shoe sizes are not reliable anymore. 😊
Hi Rhi, how disappoint that you have to pack up and send back items. Not a fan of the jumpsuit colour, and you are right, the bodice was too long and it stuck out under th arms, and the pockets protruded. Not a good look. If you liked the navy trousers, I would have shortened them, but that is your decision. Thanks for sharing, warts and all!
Morning Rhian thanks for sharing this haul I like hope you have better luck next time with the outfit have I did like the jumpsuit it okay on you have a nice day rhian ❤xx
I suppose it’s quite difficult for manufacturers to accommodate us all, I’m sure petite is 5’4 and under, so the leg length on us shorter ladies is quite varied. It’s a difficult one I know xx
Hi Rhian What a disaster. Thing is with these company’s is that in the sewing room they are under pressure they have a deadline to meet and mistakes are made. I ordered a size 20 and a sizre 26 came back. From Next I ordered a size20 and two different t sizes arrived the following day. Since I moved here have gone down two dress sizes believe it or not. Inowbuy on clearance if my weight is going to fluctuate like this as it’s false economy otherwise All the best xx
Hi Rhian I’m 5ft as well and find it so difficult to buy clothes I have to pay to have clothes altered the petite ranges do seem to have gone a lot longer. I though your navy trousers looked really expensive and good thankyou 😊😊
Hi Rhi i really emjoyed your Roman haul . ive recently rediscovered Roman and love the petite range .im also 5ft and have the same problem with trousers its so frustrating . Keep up the good work i love your videos
That's funny, a few people have said that. Maybe I was expecting something else. Also, they were too long for trainers which is what I'd usually wear xx
I really liked the navy trousers on you Rhian and I would alter them personally. The jumpsuit wasn't the right colour for you and obviously the fit wasn't right. I think (if you don't mind me saying), that you are short waisted with longer legs which is why the jumpsuit didn't fit at the top. Retailers should adjust their clothes all over to fit petites not just make them shorter😡.❤
Hi Rhi, I agree the green trousers are a strange length. I personally feel cropped trousers make me look shorter. Shame the navy are long but look fine with your wedges , I actually liked the brown jumpsuit but you’ve got to feel good xx
Hi Rhi you made me chuckle watching the Roman fails. Trousers are the most frustrating thing to buy when you are petite as the inside leg length varies so much between brands. I don't know why they don't do the same as men's trousers and put the actual leg length on the garment. I'm sure it would save multiple returns.
@@RhianWarlowI've noticed Bonmarche and EWM put their leg lengths on trousers and both do 25 inch which are short. The jumpsuit looks like a mechanic's overall to me. Probably better to buy matching top and bottoms so you can get the better fitting sizes individually.
Hi, they are all lovely clothes and I thought they would all have looked good on you if the fit was right. Thanks for showing us the fails though, you made me smile 😀
I think the brown trousers and jumpsuit looked great on you. You suit more fitted clothing which enfercisise your shape, instead baggie clothing which can make every one appear shorter and shapeless ❤
Romans clothes are mostly to long. I’m 4ft 11in unless it’s a mini it’s to long. I think they class 5ft 3in as petite. Most of their dresses for regular are for women over 5ft 10 in lol

@@hazels27 thank you. Normally I would shorten them but with that fabric it's a little trickier & I didn't like them enough to go to the effort x

@@rhianevans7189 I didn't think about the pressure they are under. You are right, it's a lot!

Yes, I don't know what is going on with petite lengths. It's the same in Marks too. Xx
@@RhianWarlow ha ha yes I sometimes buy regular cropped trousers and they fit just right for me ankle length 👍👍

Hi Rhi, I actually thought the navy trousers were perfect on you, but it's how you feel is the most important thing. Great video xx
That's funny, a few people have said that. Maybe I was expecting something else. Also, they were too long for trainers which is what I'd usually wear xx

I don't mind you saying at all, it's helpful. I think you are right & I'm only just discovering it. xx
I don't think the navy trousers are too long with wedges. Any shorter looks a bit old fashioned.
@@carolmoss4133 I wouldn't normally wear them with wedges though, more likely it'd be my trainers which aren't as high xx
