I am 56. How I wish I had had your counsel when I was "blooming" into a busty hourglass as a teen. You would have saved me so much body image misery throughout the years. Hope teens are watching you now. You teach people how to be happy with their bodies!❤ Thank you!

[@PetiteDressing]

Thank you Lisa- I'm soooo glad to hear that!

[@charlottesanders3265]

Sadly, I think most teens just want to follow trends and have no clue about body shapes.

[@lisaahmari7199]

@@charlottesanders3265 You are probably correct. Maybe it could get to them on a subconscious level, though, to help them when they get a bit older?

That’s because we were programmed to hate our bodies in the 80s. It kept us distracted and starving and out of politics.

[@PetiteDressing]

Hope you like it!

[@kimberlyperrotis8962]

Great tips. I also have little waist definition. If I need to take in the volume on something oversized, I use a belt the same color as the dress, etc., so that it gives shape to the garment, without overemphasizing the fact that my waist isn’t very trim. Highly contrasting belts only draw unwanted attention to my thick waist, and the low-contrast ones give a nice, classy look to the outfit, so that it doesn’t look over-accessorized if also wearing jewelry or a scarf.

[@The_2000s_Sabrina]

OMG, never thought about this before. Will definitely give belts a try!

i bought a pair of high-waist bootleg Spanx dress pants and wow, the difference in the thickness of the fabric is amazing! i've had similar styles of pants before but with thinner material, lower rise as well, and the thinner dress pants now just don't look good on me. the Spanx one, wow! same goes for jeans/denim. the thicker the fabric, the better it looks

[@svetlankam8223]

that violet dress fits you better, because it has a better (for you) waist line and a type of skirt that "hides" half of your belly. :) so, it`s not so much about fabrics here. but in general, - yes, a bit "thicker" material (than a completely thin one) usually fits better. it`s just some clothing makers economize too much on the quality of materials, and we, poor girlies :), have to pay attention to it.

[@tatianazapata4559]

Congrats Chi, excellent video. Your videos are VERY HELPFUL I find you just 3 weeks ago and I learn many things about pettite that I didn't Know I was one of them. However, now that I know it; it make sense why clothing didn't fit right on me most of the time. 🤨 Thanks a lot ⚘

[@daivabaniene3815]

Thank you! Many advices are well known for many years. The red dress is actually sliming, if you just wear Spanx under, because of A-shape and two vertical lines. It's the same same shape as a purple one, but purple is more sliming because it's a darker color.

[@JeanBMalcolm]

Genius! Thank youuuu! I wish I can hug you! Love these tips!!!

can confirm on the russian design dress! i invested in one (magenta) for my brother's wedding, but i didn't know it had a name it is the most expensive dress i have even gotten, but it is totally worth it.

[@jeanettebonilla3390]

You’re tips are more precious than gold❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️! I’m tiny too but my secret weapon to counteract my “tummy issues” is a great push up bra. Lol

[@lisatolliver2866]

I also like to wear a push-up bra to camouflage my belly, but I am so self conscious. I've had 3 children, and diabetes has caused some weight gain I've been trying to get rid of. The struggle is real.

[@elbarojas7579]

You right I notice when I wearing tank tops inside of a top but let some wrinkles showed in my waist and hip looks smaller

[@SandyCheeks63564]

I found the best camouflage for heavy hips and thighs was boot cut jeans. They slim around the knee, which is the thinner portion, and they are the best. Now that I’ve lost a lot of weight, thank you keto which, for some reason made me lose a lot of that hip fat I’ve carried my entire life, I am enjoying the wider leg pants as they look dressy. I’m not sure if keto made me lose the hip weight or that in combination with being post-menopause changed my hormones. I’m finding the weight what little I have left is really clinging to my belly though lol I never had a big belly my whole life I was a “pear” shape

[@kimberlyperrotis8962]

Faux wrap styles stay closed better, too, that’s important for us more busty gals.

The gray pants with wide legs (at 7.56) of which material is this made? I make clothes, just as a hobby. I like comfortable clothes for myself and the fabric should definitely have some structure and your gray pants have that. May I ask you what fabric these pants are made of? Thank you in advance!! And also many thanx for your wonderful tutorials! 👌👍 Groetjes uit België 😙

[@damlakacmaz8743]

what have i learned: - wear ligth colored cardigan and dark colored blouse, or vice versa to look thin on eyes - roll neck of your sweater, you wouldn't want sweaters neck to go up till your chin, you want to show your neck - not thin and strechy fabrics, thicker and coarser fabrics (my favorite🌟) - v necks or open necks, if your tops collar is tight, attention goes to your bust so pls not - ruched dresses are great to distract eyes from all your body details while showing your curves and waist - wear only one loose fitted piece - wear tops that define your waist, maybe in a subtler way - black boots and black pants in winter yep. 10/10 true
