Wardrobe Tools
Four practical instruments for wardrobe decisions: a brand finder, a capsule builder, a packing planner and a cost-per-wear calculator. The Brand Finder is live; this is where each of the others stands.
Roadmap
What is being built
Each tool is designed against the same content model as the editorial, which is why the capsules and the directory came first.

Petite Brand Finder
Filter the directory by the measurement you actually need.
Open the toolSearch the brand directory by shortest published inseam, petite block type, price tier and category, so the question becomes “who publishes a 25-inch inseam under $150” rather than “who does petite”. Every result explains which criteria it met, on what basis, and where the data runs out.

Petite Capsule Builder
A brief in, a plan out, with the measurements to shop it and the gaps named.
Open the toolAnswer a dozen questions about what the capsule is for, and get a plan of garment roles with the petite measurement guidance for each one, a conservative outfit count, and an explicit list of what the plan does not cover. Rule-based and deterministic: the same brief always produces the same plan, and every decision has a stated reason.
What it does
Enter trip length, the temperature band you expect, how formal the days are and what laundry you will have. The planner returns garment roles with petite measurement guidance, a day-by-day outfit plan scheduled against repeat-wear limits, and an explicit list of what the plan does not cover. It can plan from a wardrobe you have recorded rather than describing what to look for.

Petite Wardrobe Gap Finder
Demonstrated gaps, substitutions first, and “nothing needs buying” as a real answer.
Open the toolChecks the wardrobe you actually own against the scenarios you actually have (saved capsules, saved trips, or an everyday brief) and demonstrates each gap with the exact outfits and days it would unlock. Existing pieces are credited first, substitutions outrank purchases, and no ideal-wardrobe template exists anywhere in it.

Outfit Formula Generator
One to ten explained outfit formulas, mapped onto the pieces you own.
Open the toolComposes outfit formulas from garment roles the way the editorial writes them by hand: a bottom or dress as the anchor, a base, a layer where the band wants one, a shoe chosen for the day. Deterministic, explained, and mapped in your browser onto the wardrobe you have recorded.

Cost-per-Wear Calculator
The number that decides whether a garment was expensive.
Open the toolAdds what a piece actually cost, including the alteration, which is where petite purchases are usually mispriced, and divides by the wears you have actually recorded. Unknown values stay unknown, projections exist only when you type them, and nothing is ever called a good or bad investment.

In the meantime
What already does the job on paper
Every tool above began as a worksheet. The worksheets are further along than the software.
