The Veronica is for the petite woman with a slight, delicate frame — small-boned with soft curves, standing just under 5’2\" with the kind of fragile beauty that stops traffic. Like Veronica Lake (34\" bust · 21\" waist · 33\" hips at just 4’11\"), her tiny frame made her look-over-the-shoulder peek-a-boo wave one of the most imitated looks of the 1940s. These pieces are tailored for you — petite-proportioned cuts, delicate details, and silhouettes that drape beautifully on a smaller, refined frame. Small in size.
