If you’re a petite woman, most of the clothes hangers will be too wide for your clothes. I’ve experienced that for years, and it was so annoying. The ends of the hanger protruded my clothes slightly lower than their shoulder lines where my arms start. Right here.
The longer I hung my shirts, the more evident the protrusion was. If the shirt was made of stretchy fabrics or sweater-like materials, the gaping protrusion was visible even when I was wearing the shirt. What’s the point of hanging the shirts if the hangers are going to slowly, but surely damage them?
I was belly dancing when I found out that the Container Store was offering petite hangers! I bought a pack of six hangers to test the hangers out – to see if they fix the issue. And they do! I gave all my old hangers to my husband, which by the way, fit perfectly, and I bought a whole bunch of new hangers.
The hangers really are petite.
They are shorter in length; therefore, perfect for smaller shouldered petite ladies. If you look at the dimensions, the regular wooden hangers at the Container Store measure 17-7/8” x ½” x 9-1/4” h., and the petite wooden hanger measures 15” x ½” x 8-3/4” h. The petite hanger is shorter in both length and height.
The petite hangers come in 3 finishes – natural (lighter wood), walnut (darker wood that almost looks black), and white.
The hangers are online exclusive, so your local store will not have them in stock, most likely. But the Container Store offers free store pickup or free shipping for orders over $75. I replaced all my hangers with petite hangers, so my order was way above $75, and got free shipping. I do think you’ll be satisfied with these hangers if you’ve been experiencing the same problem.
Finally, I have found the right size hangers.
