Dannii Minogue Petites collection for Target

Over the years Target has released some great ‘Designers for Target’ collaborations and the soon to be released Dannii Minogue Petites collection is no exception!

Dannii Minogue petitesThe stylish mum and judge of Ch 7’s X Factor has paired with Target to release a collection with petite body shapes in mind with a fairly wide range of sizes.

A lot of people associate the word ‘petite’ with being skinny as well as being of a smaller stature, but that is not the case with this collection, as the range will be available in sizes 4-16.

Dannii says, “If you’ve ever had to take up the sleeves of a garment, found the shoulders are too wide or the body of an outfit is too long, then you are a petite shape – regardless if you’re a size 4 or 16.”

With my height being just under 5’7” I would hardly be considered ‘petite’, however there are a few pieces in the collection that I think I could work into my wardrobe. I sometimes find that clothing that is not labeled as petite can make me look shorter, even though I have an hourglass body shape. My shoulders aren’t very broad either, so suit jackets or blazers can sometimes look boxy or too big on me.

Below are some of my favourite pieces, that I will definitely be checking out when the collection hits selected Target stores and online on August 7th.

dannii minogue petitesI love swing tops, but sometimes I find the ‘arm holes’ can be too big and I don’t like that you can see your bra under them! Hopefully, being designed for petite frames, I won’t have this problem in the top above. This top also comes in white (below).

The Dannii Minogue Petites collection for Target will launch in-store and online on August 7,  2014. The first collection will be followed by two more in the six months following and will be available in selected Target stores across the country as well as online. Prices will range from $39 to $89.

Will you be checking out the collection?
