Some helpful ideas and useful advice - leaning into strengths, and going with tailoring if needed. My biggest struggle is too much material from shoulder to bust, everything would fit me better if I could take off an inch or two on the shoulder seam! But that is not an easy mend because the armhole has to be dealt with, whereas hemming pants or skirt length is rather easy. I look forward to seeing more of your ideas and learning which shops make petite things that actually work for us. Me - 5' tall, 114#, medium bust (so I'm not a skinny waif either). My proportions are good but fit is certainly a challenge!

Thank you very much for this video! I'm petite as well and a huge fan of Reformation ❤️ All of my pieces from them are definitely wardrobe staples! I'm sure I will get the Bea skirt as well. The black one with the wildflower bouquet print is my favorite. Sadly they don't sell it anymore. Been looking all over Depop, Vestiaire etc. for the Bea skirt in this particular print. Someday I will succeed 😄

Hi, when the bag is full, do the shoulder straps dig into your shoulder? Is it uncomfortable?
@FloraChantrell4 ай бұрын
I think it’s sort of inevitable with strappy bags when you put a lot in them but I’ve never really noticed it… maybe once or twice when I pushed my luck and stuck my food shopping in it as well at the end of the day 😂

The website says the Bea skirt is dry clean only :( have you had any luck with hand washing them?
@FloraChantrell5 ай бұрын
Good point. I would definitely not hand wash one of these. I don’t think skirts like this need to be washed very often - just kept hung up nicely. If you get a mark on them you can always try spot cleaning by hand rather than washing the whole skirt, which risks ruining the shape ❤
@yanwang70115 ай бұрын

Yes! Suggest you do it in cool water and then lay out on a towel afterwards flat to avoid losing the shape ❤️

I'm so tired of this whole masculine. Feminine thing I am who I am. I'm a very girly girl that doesn't mean someone is not feminine? Because they're not like me or what I like, or what I don't like is feminine or masculine. It is just what I like... These labels are self up and judgmental, where you can't step out and do something different because you don't want to be masculine, so you can't wear sandals, that is insane... Where would you like and what you like is what you like? And you don't need a label to determine what you like..
