About Us

Who knew that a clothing business would stem from such a funny conversation that later would be such a serious thought? Just two sisters catching up on life and realized how life was changing so fast before our eyes. As a new widow and my sister becoming one not long after me. I knew that life was too short after losing my husband to non-small cell cancer. What are the odds that two sisters would become widows at such a young age and left to finish raising children?

It was in that moment when I became a widow that I knew life was too short not to make a difference in myself and my daughter’s life. In that comical conversation that I had with my sister, I jokingly said, Why is it that there is a “Big & Tall” for men, but there is no Short & Small for women…? And that is when the idea of Short & Small was born.

All my life, I always had a tough time finding fashionable clothing that would fit me properly but also suitable for my age.

My daughter and I have dealt with this situation for a long time. I wanted to solve this problem by creating a business for petite women like my daughter and I. Women that are 5’4 and under in height that experience the same issues that I do. We are mothers, wives, entrepreneurs, doctors, nurses, teachers, petite women that deserve to have fashion in our size to enjoy wearing. My goal is to provide current collections that women of all ages enjoy wearing. High fashion for everyday styles from work to play to relaxing on a Sunday afternoon. Fashion for that fancy gathering or graduation to hanging out with the family.

Everyone should feel comfortable in the clothes that they purchase from Short N Small and enjoy something that truly fits them perfectly.
