120.0. "stores for dresses" by BPOV06::MACKINNON () Wed Aug 17 1988 09:28

    
    Does anyone know of any stores that specialize in petite size
    dresses that are relatively inexpensive (under $30 each)
    that are in the Greater Boston area, but not in downtown
    Boston?  Please include directions from Boston if you could.
    Thanks

120.1Try Marshall'sNECVAX::CERRETAWed Aug 17 1988 16:035
    I'm a petite sized woman, too, and I've had GREAT luck at Marshall's.
    This store has come a long way in the last few years, and they have
    an excellent petite department.  I've found some really great buys
    on the same exact top quality name brand items that I've seen in
    other, more expensive stores.

    If it is not too far away, you might try Genesis Fashion on Rt 2A
    in downtown Ayer.  There are a couple of women who run the store.
    They make a trip to New York to buy clothing every two weeks or
    so, and a great deal of what they buy is in petite sizes.  All the
    dresses are one price - about $35 - except when they go on sale,
    when they are lower than that.  I like shopping there; the new
    selection every two weeks is refreshing, and I appreciate being able to
    choose from what I like without worrying about price tradeoffs. (Ie;
    I like this one just a little better, but that one is $20 cheaper..)

120.35-7-9ATPS::GREENHALGEMouseWed Aug 17 1988 17:2011
    
    Another store specializing in small sizes is 5-7-9.  I've found
    them in Boston, and larger malls like Pheasant Lane on the MA/NH
    line, Burlington Mall, etc.
    
    For years (until I had a baby) I wore a size 1 or 3, weighing 100
    lbs.  I still weigh the same but it shifted around a bit so it's
    not quite as difficult for me to find clothes.  But, if you can
    find a 5-7-9 store near you, I highly recommend them.

    Marshall's does have a good selection of petite clothes and they
    aren't that expensive either.  Also I came across a new petite section
    in Bradlees in Chelmsford Mall.  I would think other Bradlees would
    have this section also.
