Think Alouds.

A new conversation series by Tigist Petites®

From the very beginning, Tigist Petites has been about more than creating beautifully tailored clothing. It’s about helping women cultivate presence from the inside out and express it from the outside in.

This series is a natural extension of that mission.

Designed for workplaces, employee resource groups, universities, professional associations, and communities, Think Alouds bring accomplished women together through panels, workshops, webinars, and other interactive experiences to explore topics like self-trust, leadership, professional identity, decision-making, and building without a blueprint.

Our inaugural conversation at NeueHouse NYC reinforced something we had been hoping was true: when thoughtful women from different backgrounds think out loud together, everyone leaves with a broader perspective than they arrived with.

For the 250th Fourth of July, the navy Sara Dress is styled with a crisp white jacket, a blue-and-white scarf worn as a tie, and red pumps.

The result is composed, celebratory, and unmistakably polished.

Navy for structure.
White for clarity.
Red for conviction.

The Sara Dress remains the foundation: tailored, refined, and designed to carry the moment with ease.

What does presence look like?

Last week, Tigist Petites® brought together women from medicine, law, finance, entrepreneurship, and social impact for an evening conversation at NeueHouse NYC.

Women who have built careers without a blueprint. Women who have trusted themselves through uncertainty. Women who continue to lead with conviction, curiosity, and purpose.

For the occasion:

• Dr. Michelle Han | NYC | ATL wore the Black Aiden
• Alexia Breuvart wore the Navy Sara
• Founder Tigist Ketema wore the Gray Gene

At Tigist Petites, we believe clothing should support the woman wearing it—not distract from her.

We’re building a world where petite women can show up with a distinctive presence and dress with authority and ease, without having to adjust or settle.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for Becoming Your Own Mentor and helped make the evening so memorable.

✨ More moments from the night to come.

Earlier this week, Tigist Petites® hosted Becoming Your Own Mentor at NeueHouse NYC.

We gathered women from medicine, wellness, finance, law, social impact, entrepreneurship, architecture, psychology, marketing, design, and many other fields to explore self-mentorship, presence, decision-making, and what it means to build a meaningful career without a clear blueprint.

While the stories shared throughout the evening were incredibly diverse, many of us arrived at a similar conclusion:

Self-trust matters.

Not because we have everything figured out, but because there comes a moment when no mentor, manager, advisor, parent, or blueprint can make a decision for us.

Our deepest gratitude to Alexia Breuvart, Catherine Addo and Dr. Michelle Han | NYC | ATL for sharing their wisdom, experiences, and perspectives, and to everyone who joined us and contributed to such a thoughtful conversation.

Thank you as well to NeueHouse for providing the space for these ideas to come to life.

More photos, video, and reflections from the evening to come. ✨

Still reflecting on last night’s conversation at NeueHouse NYC.

We gathered women across medicine, wellness, finance, law, social impact, entrepreneurship, and many other fields to explore self-mentorship, presence, decision-making, and what it means to build a meaningful career without a clear blueprint.

What made the evening especially meaningful was not just hearing from our incredible speakers, but also from the audience, whose perspectives and experiences enriched the conversation in unexpected ways.

This is something we care deeply about at Tigist Petites, and we’re excited to continue creating spaces for thoughtful dialogue around professional identity, confidence, presence, and authenticity.

If you’re interested in bringing a conversation like this to your workplace, employee resource group, affinity group, or community, we’d love to hear from you.

An evening conversation on self-mentorship, presence, decision-making, and building a meaningful career without a clear blueprint.

On June 8, Tigist Petites will be hosting an intimate salon-style discussion at NeueHouse NYC with women across medicine, finance, and social impact exploring what it means to trust yourself as you build your path in real time.

As a brand, we care deeply about how women move through professional spaces and how presence is shaped over time through experience, self-trust, and how we present ourselves in the physical world.

This will be a thoughtful, curated evening and space is intentionally limited. If this conversation resonates with you and you’re interested in attending, feel free to DM us.

There is nothing quite like meeting the woman you designed for in person. The one whose frustrations, routines, ambitions, and standards shaped the product long before it existed.

One of the things I’ve loved most about hosting private shopping experiences recently is hearing women articulate, completely unprompted, the exact problems Tigist Petites was designed to solve.

Tigist Petites was created for women under 5’4” navigating demanding professional environments and looking for clothing that supports how they move through them. That same level of care guided how the pieces are made, which is why I chose to produce locally in New York’s Garment District with a CFDA-affiliated factory focused on craftsmanship and labor standards.

Seeing the product meet the woman it was designed for has been one of the most meaningful parts of this journey so far.

Thank you to for creating space for these conversations and connections to happen.
