 We strive to push a bit beyond the basic and hope to enhance the petite woman’s wardrobe. We believe that the petite woman should have many options for any occasion. So whether you’re a size 0 or 10, the petite woman should be able to express her special style without sacrificing fit, or creativity. Our style of clothes is yours to represent the best of you and how you want to be seen 

Interestingly enough, 40 percent of American women are 5′4″ or less in height. Yet, the clothing manufacturers have neglected the petite clothing market. Many department stores have either eliminated their petite department or their petite presence seems to lack variety and a contemporary approach to style. Even the upscale boutiques do not carry women’s petite clothing. Balzac Clothing hopes to bridge that gap and provide contemporary petite women’s clothing. 

Balzac Clothing is the brain child of Orange County, California designer Lynn Colclough. As a petite woman herself, she knows what a struggle it is to find well fitting clothing for not just the short woman, but a petite woman who has curves. Especially after she had her two children, Colclough realized if she wanted women’s sexy petite clothing, she needed to make it herself, just like she did years ago as a teenager.

Colclough started her design career in high school by making her own clothes. She used to go through the clothing racks at thrift stores and buy large items, then open them up and draw her own patterns on them. Her outfits were one-of-a-kind and fitted to perfection. From this passion for quality and style for the petite woman came the idea of Balzac Clothing.

“We strive to push a bit beyond the basic and hope to enhance the petite woman’s wardrobe. We believe that the petite woman should have many options for any occasion. So whether you’re a size 0 or 10, the petite woman should be able to express her special style without sacrificing fit, or creativity. Our style of clothes is yours to represent the best of you and how you want to be seen,” said Colclough.

Balzac Clothing’s goal is to become a leading brand of contemporary fashion for petite women worldwide. Future plans for expansion include a petite maternity and active wear line for petite women. The company also plans to be in clothing boutiques in the United States and around the world.

About Balzac Clothing:

    I have a question: Why is the waist measurement a little roomier than most other sizes? For example, your size 0 has a 27″ waist, while typically, size 0 is no bigger than 25″.

    Thanks

    Hi Cynthia
    Thank you for the question. I polled a group of women who I wanted to market towards and also based my measurements based on my fit model. I reviewed the measurements of some of the larger brands and used that as a basis as well. I don’t know if the size measurements of the larger brands are up to date but I wanted to get a real feel for my market by doing my own measurements too. The women who I want to market towards are typically post college, working professionals, and typically mothers. The waist sizes for post pregnancy seems to increase a bit while the first things to go is your butt and breasts. I do want to adapt and make changes as it is necessary to the line. With petite women there’s less room in the torso for all the organs and other things to be kept in place so they generally have a bit of a thicker waist than someone who is taller or has a longer torso.
