Facing a New York winter (not my usual!), I walked into stores to purchase a proper parka. Hah. No go. Next time, I'll carry a sign:"PETITE WOMEN AREN'T SHORT MEN." Is there some math behind why it's still so hard to design for a wider range of people? Are short women that rare?

Key is the waist length. Even a petite parka will look frumpy if the waist hits below your true waist. If you’re high or short-waisted, it’s hard to find a coat.

@zeynep. But it’s a tight fit around my hips for sure. I’m more of a pear shape. Most of them look ridiculous on me. Like I’ve been swallowed by a down blanketpic.twitter.com/TnHDLLCtPO

So the nice thing about Canada Goose is they cater to petite Asian women and altered the fit with data. But it’s $$$$:
