For Denim jeans- I've just been cutting the hem off myself. Raw Hems are the BEST THING EVER that has happened for we Petite Girls!!😘

[@BusbeeStyle]

Great tip, Prayon! xo

[@BelindaChapman]

Love that tip 👌🏻

[@sharonjames9597]

I have cut my jeans raw hem since 2006 bc was tired of never finding the right length

[@judyb2199]

My thought as watching video 😁

[@lindas.1751]

Haha, I just did this a few months ago and it sure felt freeing. We are now in style!!

[@ayliea3974]

Here's a petite tip I can add: pay attention to fabrics. Something that drapes and moves a bit is friendlier to the petite frame than something that has a thick yarn, is stiffer and bulkier.

[@BusbeeStyle]

Great tip, Julie! xo

[@JRTProds28]

Particularly if petite and on the larger side. Thanks!

[@SilverliningsJoni]

Erin, that blue is stunning on you! I wish I could rock a jumpsuit, I'm 5'10" and have a long torso, the waist is usually right up under the girls. Not a good look. Such great tips Erin! I want you to know you are loved and appreciated! Woot woot!!!😃

[@BusbeeStyle]

That is SO sweet of you to say! I really appreciate you! xo

[@Piddeaux]

When people write reviews I wish they would include height and weight and bust size. Such a help when they do.

[@BusbeeStyle]

I agree...it is so helpful! xo

[@mickeymiller4515]

all measurements! When someones just says their height and weight, it really doesn't mean much.

[@laeahglez5538]

Totally, I specifically look for those reviews.

[@darlenehutchison802]

💟

[@kendrawright6334]

Love these tips! I also find the high waist trend is so much more flattering for us petite ladies. I feel so much taller and more slim with a high waist vs mid cut!!!!

[@seagaul94]

I have tried so many high waisted jeans, but they are too high and hit my rib cage and then bulge out in front. At 5' tall, a midrise jean is perfect. Just harder to find midrise jeans.

[@maretcaplan6462]

I prefer mid rise jeans. High rise always gives me mom jeans vibe.

[@aidastanco2945]

Being 4’10” is REALLY CHALLENGING finding jeans, but I have done cropped which are perfect for me, and I thank my mom, may she Rest In Peace, who taught me how to sew and hem my pants and skirts!

[@BusbeeStyle]

Cropped jeans are a great option and knowing how to hem your own pants is such a wonderful skill! xo

[@audreyhogan3503]

As a 4'11" gal I completely LOVED your video & tips. I love being petite & love wearing the most flattering, proportional clothing. The tips were great ... the comparisons even better. Great, great video Erin! Thank you so much. ♥️

I'd love you to do another version of this excellent video: how to look longer and leaner in flat shoes or low-ish heels for those of us who are walking around all day or who have knee/back problems.

[@lesliecoutsouridis9559]

I need to wear flat shoes because of bunions and low back problems. Especially being petite! I would definitely like to know how to look better in my flat shoes.

[@lorribondurant9217]

Or if you have plantar fasciitis and can’t wear heels anymore

[@NeelamPuri]

Yes thats for me too! Cannot wear heels, bad knees

[@claudiaphilippe5655]

I remember and lament my days of skipping around in my sky-high heels. Now knee problems and weak ankles. Actually it's the ankles that did me in! Now I wear wedges...for dress, at the beach, slip-ons. They give a nice line since the ankles and heels are bare so look longer, IMO. Except for working out, I even wear sneaker mules...just me.

[@grumblebunz]

@@NeelamPuri try Vionic brand shoes.

[@kimberlys5715]

American Eagle has great, affordable jeans AND they even have “XX-Short”! I’m 5’3 1/2” & I buy their Short & X-Short options...XX-Short gives me a nice “cropped” look. And you CAN find “clean” jeans there, too, they’re not all destroyed/ripped 👍🏻

[@manifestingjayde2539]

That's good to know, I never knew that..thanks for the tip!

[@monicaz6035]

I agree!! I love their jeans💙

[@crystalbright38]

Are American Eagle jeans in juniors sizes though?

[@Dancewithpaula]

They make great jeans

[@milliemathison5744]

Thanks for the tip. I’m looking for dark wash, clean jeans. It’s the one basic I don’t have.

[@ambercushing9791]

I really like this breakdown, I would simply add that pear shaped petites can benefit for a suit jacket that grazes right under their bottom. Also if you match you socks to your trouser & shoes, it will lengthen anyone because it guarantees that no break in color happens, for instance when you are seated. Thank you Erin

[@Lo-jh5fp]

I love how the video continues without annoying and excessive commercials!

[@aliciadelcoco9090]

I like to dress monochromatically. It gives the jumpsuit vibe.

[@BusbeeStyle]

Me too, Alicia! xo

[@rishikapaul4740]

Black on black is awsome.😍😍😍😍😍

[@nonilady1577]

1 color and a duster coat! My favorite

[@bernadetteleach372]

Can you discuss wearing black, please? With pale winter skin.

[@denasharpe2393]

And a bit longer cardigan seems to elongate!!

[@thelibranmission3919]

This video was a home run! Being 5 ft and a 120 lbs, finding petite sizes is crucial bec there are so many factors that are adjusted for..... shoulder width, sleeve length etc. It took me almost 20 years to figure out many of the points you discussed, so good job. Here are my favorite petite retailers: banana republic , macys, topshop, nordstrom and Ann taylor. Abrecrombie and Fitch have a great selection too as well as express.

[@BusbeeStyle]

Thank you! That's a great list...thanks for sharing! xo

Love your channel. I’ve binge watched all of your videos and have learned SO much! Being 5’2” and hourglass and now 50plus...let’s just say it’s very frustrating to consider all of those things when coming up with my personal style and finding clothes that look good on me. But you have helped me so much. I now have a basic wardrobe capsule and am adding to it as I find things I love. I’ve gotten rid of about 80% of my old clothes. It is so freeing to know which things to buy and which things to leave for someone else to buy. Keep the videos coming!

[@BusbeeStyle]

Thank you! I'm SO glad that my videos are helpful for you! I just love hearing this! xo

[@spiritualjoy721]

One style I (at 5 feet) wear frequently and that I absolutely love is to match the color of my top with either the color of my shoes or socks. I have been complimented many times especially when the accent color is red.

[@planettexasservices6012]

Even though I'm 5'11", this video is helpful in so many ways. Erin is not just about trending fashion, but about TEACHING us how to look at fashion as almost a science. I learned proportions from her and look absolutely amazing thanks to her. Thank you, Erin!

[@carriepeabody7468]

Even though I’m 5’5 I loved these tips. That blue blazer looks amazing on you too!

[@BusbeeStyle]

I’m 5’5” as well, but not particularly long-legged. These tips are great for me, especially the ankle pants and the shorter jacket! Thank you!💕

[@sparkle1596]

[@cyndicaldwell8437]

Erin - what about the shorter woman who is heavier ??? what about the short crop jacket here? Love your recommendations - but $350 jeans -- $500 sneakers...... ???? wow -- off the charts-

[@BusbeeStyle]

If you don't feel comfortable in a cropped jacket, go for the duster look. A third layer of any kind does a great job slimming the frame. This video is more about the tips than the actual product recommendations. I have used my go to pieces from my closet to illustrate the tips...you could find lots of different options at any price point to suit your individual budget. xo

I love how you keep it real Erin! Pulling that bodysuit off to the side is real and honest. So happy I found your channel!💕

Perfect! It's SO helpful, especially when shopping online. xo

[@ivetteguarin]

Thank you Erin. I enjoy watching your videos. I'm a petite woman (5'3", 105lbs, bust size 32C) and I buy most of my clothes from Express and NY&Co. because they have a wide range of sizes. I usually buy 2 or 0 size jeans or dress pants and XS tops. I like Calvin Klein Zara and H&M too because there sizes run small and similar to European sizes which fits me the best.

[@lindas.1751]

I have to say that I love the skinny jean style, because I can just fold up the excess length and the fold stays up. No hemming necessary. You can't do that with flares or wide legs but with skinny or straight legs, it has always worked for me.

[@BusbeeStyle]

So true, Linda! Skinny jeans are so much easier in that way. xo

[@lordorielrising4673]

The 30” inseam is needed if you want to wear heels. Manufacturers should always provide both a 28” and 30” inseam so if you wanted, you could buy both inseams for different shoes.

So glad you mentioned the tip of pulling your bodysuit to the side when you need to pee. I have been doing that as well! Nothing gross about that at all. I was struggling with this for the longest time before I knew this and wish someone had told this to me much earlier. It works too when I go swimming and if I am wearing a one piece swimming suit. The other tip I can think of is wearing darker color clothes.

[@bubblestheterrible]

I have a system for this! Since I live in Florida and sometimes wear one piece swimsuits. I grab toilet paper first, that’s key. Once you’re armed, yank the crotch way over to one side, kind of across your butt. My hand stays outside of the bowl area. Easy peasy! Freaking out over election results so happy to devote attention to this pressing issue.

We are “Fun Size”! 😆.....J.Jill has a nice petite section now ! Both in store and on line !

[@BusbeeStyle]

Thank you for sharing, Michelle! xo

[@denasharpe2393]

Thank you!!!

[@33lorie]

Bulk Baby! 😂 This 5'2 girl loves & appreciates you! I have to say that being petite & overweight can be VERY challenging! often times the bigger the size the longer the inseam. 😩 I am grateful for the cropped trend right now, it does help. Sending you big love from Lake Tahoe! ❤️

[@BusbeeStyle]

Thank you! xo

[@crystalbright38]

So true. I hate that the bigger sized tops are extremely long too! It’s so hard finding plus sized tops and sweaters that don’t go past my butt.

[@carriebrewer9708]

Wow this was great , you rock Erin!!! Thank you, so much. Have a great day.

[@BusbeeStyle]

Thank you, Carrie! You too! xo

[@pattorelli3451]

Fantastic tips for petites, Erin! I love jumpsuits, and a long sweater or vest is my best friend for disguising my larger thighs.

[@BusbeeStyle]

SO glad you liked this! xo

[@reahteodoro1029]

Me too i usually cut the hem off by my self.. and i works for me ,, sometime i tailored by my self too but mostly i leave it raw hem as fashion ,,,

[@lindas.1751]

My tip: USE the size guides, and use a tape measure and MEASURE your body. I've found sizes all over the map online but when I check the size guide, I have nearly always been happy with the fit.

[@BusbeeStyle]

Exactly! Knowing your measurements will save you so much time and money while shopping! I discuss this a bit more in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/epzLeYNrZZmlgLc xo

[@joannehedges8567]

Why haven't I seen this before ....Erin's advice has totally transformed my wardrobe , Thank you x

[@BusbeeStyle]

You're SO welcome, Joanne! xo

[@susantaylor7195]

Great video! I just tried on my new blazer and it fit the way it should. I will need to watch this several times!! Your hair looks beautiful!

[@BusbeeStyle]

Thank you SO much! Glad it was helpful, Susan! xo

[@michellemckenzie4983]

Loved all of the tips! I have a question what options do I have to look taller with flat shoes? I had knee surgery recently and can't wear heels for a while!

[@fashionandluxury101]

Erin this is the best styling video for petites on KZbin. Thanks so much! Everything you stated is so practical and can apply to us petite girls . I so believe in pulling that bodysuit to the side! Who on this planet has the time to let everything fall to the dirty floor in the bathroom , unsnap the bodysuit , pray that the long part doesn't fall in the toilet then snap everything perfectly back together ( I have snapped it back crooked before) then had to take it all apart only to resnap it again! Thanks forgetting is know that that pulling it to the side makes sense. Thanks for the styling tips, and yes one could still definitely rock everything on the left side of the screen you are simply telling us to try new ways of elongating her legs , on days we want to look more flattering. Two thumbs up

[@BusbeeStyle]

You're SO welcome! xo

[@AliceCCG]

So much funnnnn!! Loved these tips!!! 😍

[@BusbeeStyle]

Glad you enjoyed, Alice! xo

[@yllektravantis703]

Great tips! I am like 5 3" and they are invaluable!!!

[@deborahpetipas9365]

Excellent video. It was a great confirmation of what my mom drilled into me during my less than pulled together fashion days. 5'3.5 is just tall enough for petitte sizes to be too short. Cropped and ankle pants along with 3/4 sleeves are perfect solutions!

[@BusbeeStyle]

Thank you, Deborah! xo

[@JillJ]

Crotch is a step up from ‘groin’ though 😂 thanks for keep in’ it real, Erin😁

[@BusbeeStyle]

Thanks, Jill! Not sure which is worse! xo

[@Bonbon-zl4eb]

Great video Erin! I will use these tips!

[@BusbeeStyle]

Glad it was helpful, Bonnie! xo

[@jodikeenan4066]

Best Video Ever !!! The side by side pics really clicked for me. Thanks

[@BusbeeStyle]

Thank you, Jodi! That feedback is so valuable to me! xo

[@carriel3054]

Your bodysuit bathroom trick is exactly what I do with one-piece swimsuits. Skooch it over to the side, tuck it under a cheek, knock yourself out ;)

[@beyoncepadthai6607]

TMI but I peed on my bodysuit as a teenager and never did the ‘tuck’ method again! Rather take it all off than have that happen again. Besides, after kids my ‘stream’ isn’t the same! 😬🤣

[@bobbigress848]

Love all these fashion tips! I'm 4'11" and I think I've been doing everything wrong.

[@BusbeeStyle]

That's totally fine, Bobbi! I'm so glad that you found this video helpful! xo

[@user-xx8jo2ju1j]

Love your expertise! I just subscribed. Thank you 😊

[@judyb2199]

Great tips. The visuals help tremendously. Ty.

[@BusbeeStyle]

Glad it was helpful, Judy! xo

[@Aim4God]

Great ideo, Erin! I'm 5'6 (not petite) and got a lot of tips! I was diagnosed with MS about 10 years ago and heels are a huge NO for me- and 🥰 I LOVE them! Will look into the wedge sneakers and everything you else mentioned! 😀

[@BusbeeStyle]

I'm SO glad that you found this helpful even though you are not petite...that was my goal. Try the wedge sneaker...they give you just a little lift, while still being comfortable (just remember to size up). xo

[@loriperry9544]

Be careful with those wedges! They look cool and feel comfy...but can tip right over easily. A friend broke her leg in them. Another MSer here.

[@hovo50]

I have an idea for the next topic: How about how to choose purses/ bag to go with particular outfits... esp for petites. For example, what color purse with what outfit? What length/ size for the purse ?

[@BusbeeStyle]

Great suggestion! xo

[@jwyoutube24]

Hi Erin, thanks for this video, so many tips xxx

[@laurieparis2203]

Always adorable and so full of fun! Thx for the great tips 🌱
