A PETITE woman was so fed
up of struggling to find clothes
to fit her, she has set up her
own on-line fashion store.
Faye Clements, 24, who is
5ft, decided to set up her
Shortbred business from her
home in Thirsk, North
Yorkshire, after being made
redundant last year.
This weekend, her on-line
store will officially open for
business, offering her own
range of humorous T-shirts
that celebrate and poke fun at
the petite frame.

But she hopes to expand to
other clothing lines for women
under 5ft 3in and eventually
get them into department
stores.
Miss Clements said: "It was
always a nightmare going
shopping, there was never
much about for petite women
and quite often the clothes in
shops with petite sections
were quite boring.
"I have had the idea for the
business for a while and even
had the name, but I didn't
pursue it until I was made
redundent last June and
decided to do my own thing.
"The slogans I came up with
are a mixture of old cliches
such as titch' and I wish my
legs were longer', and my own
design ideas using the
Shortbred name, which I hope
will become a respected and
recognised name in its own
right."
Miss Clements was able to
set up her business with the
help of funding from
Hambleton District Council.
Her T-shirts will be available
from Saturday. Visit
