Featured Merchant - Lands' End

We've chosen to feature Lands' End this summer because of their unusual responsiveness to the needs petite women.

While many other retailers seem to be shrinking or even abandoning their petite-size collections, Lands' End has continued to expand their petite offerings. Almost every one of their items for women is now available in size 2-18 petite or petite XS-XL -- over 350 items. Although you may be thinking of Lands' End mainly for basic shirts and outerwear, you might be surprised to see the variety of items they carry -- including clothes for both work and workouts.

More Swimsuit Options for Petites

We were particularly impressed with their selection in petite swimwear. Few, if any, major national retailers offer short torso swimsuits for petites, but this season, Lands' End has tripled its selection.

Lands' End's "Beach Living" line of separates features halter and lingerie tops as well as a petite "SwimMini" bottom with an attached panty (see photo below). A new, short-torso "Grecian V-neck Slender Suit®" slims you with a special fabric they call "slendertek". The Tugless Tank® collection, featuring several colors and patterns in short torso, is available in multiple bra options so petites of all sizes can get the best fit.
