Ellie “Posies in Paris” Subscription Box Review – December 2020

Thank you!

I am 5ft even and so far none of the leggings have been too long for me. They seem to all be the 7/8s length or cropped. The Jessica Simpson one especially fit me well.

As the other comments said, there is no true petite option, but there is often (almost always) a capri length choice. There have been quite a few 22″ options since I started earlier this year, and even a couple shorter ones than that. Malibu Moment from last month has 20.5″ capris, for example. It looks like it’s not available for new members this month, but when I log in as a current member, I can actually choose it as my selection for January, or purchase it as an additional collection. You can see it here:

Also, I noticed the waistband on those capris is 3.5″ so it’s not quite as high as the 4″, which is by far the most common width in Ellie sets. Since you are petite maybe that 3.5″ would be great for you, too! I have also seen some 5″ and even a super-high-rise 6.5″ waistband (on the Guiding Light leggings) which would be too high up on me to be comfortable, personally:

Sometimes the rise measurement (crotch to top of waistband) is listed in the description too, which is super helpful – I wish that measurement was included on every set, but it’s hit or miss.

Also worth mentioning that the Cast the Dye set from Jessica Simpson in October was listed as having 22″ capris, but they seemed shorter when I got them so I measured the inseam, and they are actually 18″ – which I personally like, because I already have a bunch of 22″ capris that really hit me more mid-calf, and these are great for a true capri pair. Here it is if you want to check it out: https://www.ellie.com/products/cast-the-dye-one-time-purchase?variant=32012400197690

The 22″ capris might be a really good length for you – I have seen petite girls mention in some reviews that they work well as more of a full length legging for them, maybe not super long all the way to the ankle bone (like 27″ would be on average height gals), but as a good 7/8 length legging (like 25″ tends to be on average height gals). It also depends on whether you have a longer torso and short legs, or if you have a short torso and average or longer legs.

Anytime I see 22″ capris in a set, I look closely at the model to see if she is a taller or shorter gal and notice where they hit her. Also, the awesome thing about Ellie is that returns and size exchanges are totally free! So order any set you want to try, and if the length isn’t right for you, you can always just exchange it. You can either get a whole different set, or do a size exchange for the item(s) that don’t fit you.

(Even though most of the past ones aren’t available anymore, I’ve found if you google “Ellie” + (collection name) it will pop up and you may even be able to order it) 😉

I hope this is helpful! I have done a lot of “research” since I discovered Ellie because I love it so much, and have even tracked down some older sets. Give it a try and see what length bottoms you like best. You can always cancel anytime, or skip the month if there aren’t any options you like. I would provide my referral code here but we’re on Brandi’s MSA page and you should definitely use her link to give her the referral credit 🙂

Thanks, ladies ❤️

They don’t offer petit options but they always have the inseam listed for the pants. They range from 23-27 inches. Most are 25 and 27.

Not that I’ve seen. They do offer capris sometimes, and customer service is pretty good. I think they have a decent return policy if you want to give them a try.

So glad you found this helpful! Thanks for reading, Jodi! 🙂

Same!
