I know, I know, I'm guilty of browsing the children's section of the department store. Sometimes I may find a bargain there that I may not find anywhere else or perhaps something that I fancy.
However as much as I like some of the styles there, they are not always appropriate for petite women. One reason is because the styles are not always age appropriate and the fit may not always be right. I have decided to try on a couple of pieces from Bardot Junior to see if this is the case.
This is a Size 14 denim jacket from Bardot Junior. It may look like it fits right which it does for the most part except for one minor thing. Can you guess what that is?
If you had guessed that it did not fit correctly in the underarm then you are correct. It was slightly tight but nevertheless, it would have been a great bargain.
This is another top from Bardot Junior also in a Size 14. Again, it looks like it fits but it is a bit high around the chest area. Additionally unlike the last item, the shirt is also a little short.
Overall, I'm not against shopping at Bardot Junior or any other children's store but one must be careful when purchasing. For example it is best to try all items on as it may look like it fits but when you put it on, it doesn't fit the way you want it to. Also the styles may not always be age appropriate. In my experience, it is much better to buy the children's pants rather than the tops. Sweaters and jackets may also be ok. Have you ever shopped at the kids section of the store?
Until next time,
