Welcome! This journey started off as a blog, and has grown into a brand for petite fashionistas and sewing enthusiasts alike. Allow me to explain the mission and meaning behind Republic of G.

A form of government in which power resides with the people

Let’s give power back to all the petite women who feel the fashion industry has forgotten about them. Republic of G is here to celebrate petite bodies in all of their unique forms with fit and quality in mind. Gone are the days of tailoring, hemming and feeling like you have to settle to have the wardrobe you want. Republic of G is putting style and confidence back in your closet!

In 2020 I started my journey of learning how to sew because I was so fed up with buying clothes that never fit my 4’11” petite frame. I knew I needed to do something to take back control of my confidence and my wardrobe. If I was feeling this way, there had to be other petite women around the world feeling this way too!

My sewing patterns are made with petite bodies in mind, but they can be used and modified for all types of bodies. My goal is to provide you with long lasting closet staples that you can wear for years to come.

As I become more experienced, I will include more patterns for all sewing skill levels as well as a larger range of sizes.

Thanks for being here!

Xo,

Gianna
