FAQs
your petite questions answered
At P’tit Affair, we believe fashion should be thoughtful, timeless, and made to last.
Our FAQ section is here to answer your most common questions about our petite-friendly designs, our commitment to ethical and slow fashion, and what makes us different from other brands.
From how we create clothes tailored for women 5’3” (160 cm) and under, to what ethical fashion means to us, you’ll find clarity on our values, our process, and our promise to you.
Unlike many brands that simply shorten standard sizes, we design specifically for petite proportions.
That means waistlines sit where they should, armholes fit without gaping, and silhouettes are balanced for a smaller frame.
No alterations needed - just a perfect fit, straight off the hanger.
We believe in slow, considered design, creating pieces that remain stylish year after year.
Instead of chasing fast-changing trends, our clothing is designed to be versatile, elegant, and enduring, so you can wear and love it for seasons to come.
We prioritise ethical and responsible fashion.
While we use thoughtfully chosen materials, our main focus is creating long-lasting, well-made pieces that reduce waste by staying in your wardrobe for years.
We work with ethical manufacturers who uphold fair wages and responsible production practices.
Ethical fashion is about people, process, and purpose.
We only partner with manufacturers who provide fair wages, responsible working conditions, and expert craftsmanship.
Every piece we create is made with care, integrity, and respect for both people and the planet.
We focus on quality, longevity, performance and ethical production over mass production.
Our pieces are carefully crafted to last, using responsible materials and expert craftsmanship.
Because fashion shouldn’t be disposable.
No, because you won’t need them!
Our pieces are designed for petite proportions from the start, meaning they should fit beautifully without alterations.
We’re carefully selecting easy-care, practical, and sustainable materials that feel as good as they look.
Every piece goes through meticulous sampling to ensure the best fit and quality.
We’re excited to bring you more products soon!
Of course. Petite women have spent a lifetime buying from regular brands that weren’t made with us in mind and sometimes they kind of worked, sometimes they didn’t at all.
P’tit Affair turns that around. Our pieces are thoughtfully designed for women 5’3” and under, but if you’re slightly taller and often find regular fits just a little off, you might find our proportions are exactly what you’ve been missing.
We always recommend checking our detailed size guides to be sure, but don’t rule yourself out, our clothes are about timeless style, comfort, and fit above all.
Everyone! This bag combines style and practicality, drawing inspiration from the heart of Portugal.
Saudade is a Portuguese word that captures a deep sense of longing and connection to places, people, or memories.
Our tote bag embodies this spirit, carrying a heartfelt reminder of cherished moments wherever you go.
Our clothing is designed in the UK and made in Portugal, ensuring expert craftsmanship and ethical production under fair working conditions.
The Saudade Tote Bag is an exception. It's designed and printed in the UK, made in an ETI-certified factory in India that upholds fair and ethical working standards.
