Thank you for this information, it is proving invaluable. Unfortunately I am the wrong side of the duck pond to be able to order glasses from you, but never the less, we still have the same issues finding petite frames! This will help me find the right needle in the very large, sometimes overwhelming, hay stack! Thank you again.

I was delighted to find your site as this has always been a problem for me. I’ve worn glasses since age 3 and I am very sensitive to fit. I’d love to see more options in lighter neutral shades as the darker frames look too bold on my small face. I also have fair skin and med blonde hair. It looks better when they blend in with my features. Clear frames tend to stand out and look like granny glasses. Smaller openings are better as well for smaller faces (and thicker lenses which I have). I prefer rectangular and oval shapes. Thanks for providing this much needed resource!

Hi
I thinking perhaps I have a low bridge
..though now asian or a now that’s flat anywhere…but with most glasses looking out of the top 25% of lense. Do you have suggestions for me for finding a better frame that’s hopefully not round or square?
Thanks! Julie

Hi Julie,
Thanks for your message!
“Low Bridge Fit” (aka “Asian fit” bridge) can be a good option for anyone with a low nose bridge (of any ethnicity). The Phyllis frame is my best option for petite glasses for low nose bridge.
However, a narrow nose could also cause the frames to sit too low, especially if the bridge measurement was too wide for your nose. For that, try smaller bridge widths, such as the Kimberly (14) or the Kara (15).
Nose pads can also help with both of the above issues. Consider the Julie or the Teresa.
Thank you for visiting my store! I hope you find a great fit.

I’m hoping that you have tortoise shell frames that have nose pads for the petite face.

Hello Mary,
Thanks for your message! We do have many tortoiseshell petite glasses. However, none of them are currently available with nose pads. Do you prefer the nose pads for low bridge fit, progressive lenses, comfort, or something else? Some of our shoppers have used adhesive nose pads that you can stick on to the bridge of acetate frames. They are affordable and easy to buy online.

I’ve been hunting for somewhere like you for years, as I hate wearing glasses – I’ve worn them since I was 4, and am now 60, but have never been able to find a pair I’m happy to wear (I try to wear gp contact lenses as often as I can!)
If only you were available in the UK! Please consider it, as it’s so difficult to find attractive frames here!

Hi Elaine,
Thank you for your message! It’s nice to know that there are women out there who are looking for the business that I am building. I’m sorry that I am not yet international. I will grow it as quickly as I can 🙂

I was so excited to find your website but found that most of your temple lengths are still too long. I really need 130mm but that seems hard to come by.

Hi Hilda, Thanks so much for letting me know what you need. I do hear requests for shorter temple lengths. If you have a moment, I’d love to hear what size you need for the rest of the frame. Thanks for writing!

Thanks for the tips. I have been looking for frames to fit my small face for 2 yrs. my current glasses look like your 2012 frames, I bought mine in 2007!! My daughter and nieces always comment on my “outdated” glasses. Unfortunately, we live in a small city/town and the availability of stylish frames is nil. Looks like I’m going to have to make the 260 mile round trip to find some attractive petite frames. 😕

Thanks for sharing your experience, Annie! Since 2007 is quite a long time to be shopping for frames. I hope you find the right fit soon!

Thanks for the excellent information about having a smaller face and finding the right frames! It’s not easy! Especially now with bigger frames being the trending look. I relate to going into a store to find frames and everything is too big, with maybe just a few pairs that are suitable in size, but I don’t like them. All of your tips on size, lens height, frame thickness and shape, I’ve learned through trial and error over the years. I’ve worn smaller rectangular, oval and cat eye frames with my current ones being a cat eye that looks great! Unfortunately, I also have a prescription for a high minus and a need for progressives , but a pretty flat bridge so getting the right vision correction has been really hard! I feel that it’s harder to see clearly with my new Bevel glasses (Quinoa Victoria) as they just fit too close to my eyes and my eyelashes touch the lenses. I often resort back to wearing my old pair (Bevel Amy). I look forward to checking out your specific suggestions.

Thank you for your comment, Leila! Bevel is a great brand. And yes, it sounds like a tricky combination you have there between prescription requirements and a low nose bridge. I’d recommend that you try my Phyllis frame. Past shoppers who have struggled with the eyelashes hitting the lens in other plastic frames found that they did not have that issue with the Phyllis because of the way the bridge is shaped. I’ll be curious to hear how it goes if you give it a try!

I was wondering what glasses do you have on in the video. In the video at 3 minutes 4 seconds where you talk about top heavy, darker, thicker frames

I’m so glad there are others! I sometimes dream of what folks with more average sized faces get as far as choosing a between tens and even hundreds of possible frames and designers, because I can imagine it must be many degrees more exciting than my much smaller child sized frame selection. Not to say I don’t love it when ray ban for kids puts out a new style; I have a google alert set just for this, but to have so much selection, that dream will always gnaw at me.
Of course the other thing we should discuss is the wearing of hats, as there is a lot of normal sized adult headed folks who have no concept that we exist, and they seem to only realize we do after insisting we put on a certain hat they believe will fit us. I’m nearly 45 years old and this same awkward encounter continues to this day!

Thank you for sharing that! Yes, definitely a different game to have that kind of selection. I often hear stories of how frustrating it is to go to a store and see so many beautiful frames and the vast majority are outside your size range. I’m happy to offer a bit more options 🙂 Hats are a great idea and one I’ve considered offering! Please feel free to share any requests for hats for small heads!

Love your input! I would like to know the name of the Crystal frames you put on second out of the three crystal lenses, the Pink Crystal ones.
Thanks for doing what you do! Currently wearing kids girls frames which I love but have been discontinued 😿

Hi Joansie,
Thanks for your message! Discontinued frames is something I hear about a lot.
I’m not sure I understand your question, but it sounds like you are referring to the Phyllis frame in Crystal Rose. They are currently out of stock but may be reissued in the future, if we get enough requests.
Thank you,

I need a bridge of 14
Length 130
Width 48
I see even your site the bridge is nearly 16 .. I really struggle to find glasses and don’t like the noise adjustment rules. Too much pressure re sinus.
Any suggestions where one gets glasses with 14 Bridge ?.

Hi Cheryl,
Thanks for your question! I do plan to offer the Kimberly frame (size 14 bridge) with in a slightly larger size (but keeping the bridge the same). Until then, I regret that I don’t have other 14 bridge options. You may try entering the size 14 bridge into the search tool of a larger site.
Thanks for sharing what you are looking for!

Are there any options for people who are smaller than the extra petite? My current glasses are at the very bottom of the extra petite range (114 total width) and are still slightly too large for me. I’ve been trying to find something that’s at maybe a 110 or 112 and not having any luck.

Hi Kay,
Thanks so much for letting us know what you would like to see in the store! For now (at time of this writing), our smallest total frame width is 116 (Kimberly). Is the issue that the frames extend too far out to the sides of your face? Or another issue (frames slipping, pupils not centered)? The latter items might not be a total width issue and may be addressed by other measurements (temple length, lens/bridge width). Do you know what height you need? Some who need smaller total widths may need taller lenses (for long faces, for progressive lenses) vs those who need very short lens height to avoid face being overwhelmed by the lens height.
