Kardashian Kollection – Reader Question Follow Up

Is the Kardashian Kollection for petites only? I followed the link and it looks as if I can buy their clothes in Spain, but there was no guide to the sizes and of course if it’s not designed for petites I wouldn’t want to buy skirts, trousers and anything with long sleeves which could look wrong even if I altered them. Can you please provide a link to their sizing guide? Small and medium can mean anything!  – Sue

I finally had a chance to head to my local Sears to check out the Kardashian Kollection for myself. The selection wasn’t huge and the quality wasn’t terrible, the fit was hit and miss but to my surprise they did have a petite size denim! Everything was sized XS – XL while denim started at 0 and had the “Kourtney Petite” denim (however no actual size guide available which seems odd).

I was pleasantly surprised with the “Kourtney Petite” skinny denim in red. I tried a size 2 and the length was great — no hemming needed (I’m 5’3 on a good day). The “Smoky Paneled” leggings fit nicely too in XS. Again, no hemming needed. What confused me though was that both the denim and the leggings were $68. $68 for leggings is pushing it for me (especially at Sears).

The blouses fit terribly. I know the trendy thing to do is wear your blouses large and baggy but come on — I looked like I’d just thrown on my husbands dress shirt. The arms were so long I couldn’t even function without rolling them up half a dozen times. I wouldn’t call this one a “Kourtney Petite” by any means.

Everything I tried on can be found here. All in all, the tops were a disaster and the bottoms worked well for me but I didn’t walk out the door with any new clothes. Hope this helps. If you try the “Kollection” let me know what works and doesn’t work for you.

   Thanks for answering my question so well! I have been checking on line and noticed that their collection will be available in the UK from November. Unfortunately my next trip is scheduled for October! However I think I will wait until I can try on their clothes and know what fits me before ordering on line.

   If I can digress, I have discovered that Lands End petite sizes are a goof fit for me. Before buying from them I checked that I could return the clothes from Spain if necessary (which I can) so I now buy a lot from them on line, and especially like the fact that I can choose my leg length when buying trousers!

   You’re welcome, Sue.

   Being able to choose your leg length at Lands End is great and being able to return if something doesn’t work is wonderful too. I will have to look and see what they have for this season! Thx!
