Finding professional clothing that truly fits a petite frame has always been a challenge. Simply because this billion dollar industry historically ignores the actual average height and instead chooses to represent garments on a taller frame.
At BlancheWear, it has been my highest priority to showcase each garment accurately from the very beginning. The science behind it is simple: starting with a study of the human form, we created a special size grading system designed across real petite body shapes and from this, developed an inclusive size range.
Every piece in our collections is designed around real petite proportions.
To make that commitment visible, we identified the three most requested age groups among our customers and studied the body data within them: the measurements, the proportions, the fit frustrations and the lifestyle that drive these women to shop. From that research, "Launch Lauren", "Creative Clare", and "Executive Emma" were derived.
When you see these personas throughout our collections, our intention is to show how the garment will fit on a petite body in its actual size. This has been a challenge to execute and such an exciting journey, realizing each design beyond my own size, extending to the greatly appreciated patience of our fit models and then through the remarkable support of AI, my ideas, extensive research, and what felt like a dream spanning over the past years, are brought to you, the community that has been searching for solutions.
Each garment page includes specific size guidance for that style and fabric. BlancheWear is designed for petite women with inclusive sizing.
Please meet our Personas and discover our solution to the widespread dilemmas faced by petite women all over the world.
Three body types. Three distinct fits. One petite standard.
