Honestly the fact that some brands offer a "short" length to their jeans has significantly improved so many of our shopping experiences 😭

[@Gomba13]

Now, if they could also do away with the assumption that slim and skinny people don’t have butts with curves, that would make me happy. Pretty tired of finding jeans that are the right size and length but that crush my butt because apparently there is an assumption that slim/skinny people are bony. And what's up with legs getting shorter the smaller the size of the jeans?

[@katchupbottle4530]

@@Gomba13 Lol I totally understand that! Recently I bought a pair of jeans from Express. They offered a pair that could both a short cut and curvy (in a size 0, 2, and more). So finally we're starting to have options!

[@ts4686]

Wish the same applied to long legs. It's a struggle to find any jeans and pants that fit me. Apparently if you have long legs, you're also very big. Long legs and skinny is apparently not "normal", yet it is for many of us. ALL body shapes are normal.

[@jos-josradvanji6203]

@@ts4686 you'd need the asian jeans. they often have long skinny legs naturally so I am guessing their shops will have lots of jeans like that. For me that would be a disaster xD I have short legs, thick to fat thighs and wiiiiide hips with a decent butt. My pants are always too long and if they're not elastic my thighs and ass usually won't fit. That's why I gave up on finding jeans .-. now it's just stretchy fake jeans.

I’m 5.3, with short legs and a long torso. I found this very helpful. I’m not happy to hear that short rise is coming back, I lived through low rise in the 90’s! at my age, I’ve finally learned to wear what suits me, instead of being a slave to trends.

[@PetiteDressing]

Thank you, Tracey! Glad it was helpful!

[@clarissabergo4851]

I'm also short, don't care about trends and am pretty sure I'm a low rise kind of person. The problem is because of stupid fashion trends I haven't been able to find pants for the last five years or so! I hope low rise comes back so I can at least stock up for the next up-to-your-bra fashion phase.

[@unicornishcornish]

Not sure why this was recommended to me because I'm tall but I can relate about the trends, I also find it frustrating when I can't find what fits me best because every store is filled with trendy items. Just went jeans shopping yesterday and almost all were high raise and I can't wear that because it looks like I'm all legs and no torso

[@klarabarunovic9841]

I've never been a "slave to trends" in the first place...

[@aariez]

I have a short torso and I am 5 1 so the mid-rise fits me like a high rise. If the low rise comes back I will stack up because now I am look awful in my new pants. Adding to the fact that I am an apple shape so u_u it is awful

[@SoNick25]

I think it would be smart for jean companies to make all rises, all leg lengths, all leg widths...all the time! When it comes to jeans, one size doesn't fit all!! I just ordered Mott and Bow Mom jeans online. Since they arrived, I haven't taken them off!! The first jeans I feel comfortable in!! For pears who need a higher rise and have thicker thighs and butt, these might be the jeans for you, too!!

[@PetiteDressing]

[@denisedorsey2889]

Chi, your videos are getting better and better all the time. That rise measurement is the key to great fitting and great feeling pants. Once you figure out your “sweet spot” it becomes a game changer. Now if we could just get retailers to include the rise with the inseam measurement!

[@PetiteDressing]

Glad you like them, Denise!

[@christinebrooker5050]

Yeah, that would be good.

[@sarahtaylor4264]

My biggest frustration is cut. I feel best in a looser skinny jean or straight leg jeans, but it seems like you can only get shrink wrap jeggings or boot cut. I know retailers tend to follow trends. It's hard when your style isn't trendy at the moment. And why does almost nobody make a 99% cotton jean? The ones with a ton of synthetic don't wear well long term. I'm 5" 1' and have drifted towards high rise over time. It feels the most flattering on my stomach. It's my biggest body insecurity.

[@sfudge]

I yearn for the day when rise is factored correctly into underwear 😂

[@Nerdy-By-Nature]

As someone with a very long rise I could not agree more!!!

[@kellicline5336]

Actually you can. It's not exact but anything listed as brief or high cut would be more of a "high waist". Boy short/ cheeky is more mid range and bikini or thong is usually "low rise". I've worked in clothing for years and there is some method to the madness. You just need to know what terms you are looking for to help you determine the fit. Happy undie hunting lol.

[@kellicline5336]

@@sfudge ohh yeah it's definitely not an exact science but it is useful. So is measuring the same with your fave jeans. Try it with undies that hit you just right and keep that tape measure in your purse. Lots of stores like Victoria's Secret, Torrid even some stock at Target,TJ Maxx etc don't package their undergarments so they are accessible for measuring. I know it has saved me tons of $$ especially since most times items like that are final sale.

[@redsquare4835]

As a short, hour glass, short torso and thick-thighed figure, I found my best jeans are mid/high rise barrel leg style jeans. They are the most comfortable and the only style which I have found flattering :) give them a try if you are of a similar body type!

[@sansanpanda5346]

I have a high rise and because of this I have to buy a lot of pants with a high rise very soon, because since low-rise pants are going to be the new fashion hype in the near future, it means that every store is only going to sell low-rise pants and almost nothing else (that's how it works here in the Netherlands). I wish stores would choose for more variety.

[@justynawisniewska1213]

I was scared of that happening but I don't really see it becoming reality. It's been a while since low-rise has been pronounced 'back' and high-rise options are still widely available. Trends are not as exclusive anymore as they used to. Same with skinny jeans, they're still around being sold in stores even though many people would say they're pasé.

[@redsquare4835]

I am petite and also have a short torso, so super high rise pants look ridiculous on me 😭😭 and it feels so restrictive and tight because the waist is hugging right over my tummy so it’s uncomfortable to sit down! Mid rise is good for me :)

[@Ballaurena13]

Yes. Same problem here with high rise pants looking ridiculous - jeans aren't supposed to have an empire waist. I haven't noticed myself to have a particularly short upper half considering my height, but she looks proportionately longer in the upper torso than me, perhaps because her legs are shorter, or my lower abdomen is proportionately taller. Of note too, though, I just bought some "mid -rise" jeans a couple days ago, but tonight I stumbled upon a definition for the different rises and realized that those alleged "mid-rise" jeans I just got fit the Internet description of "high-rise" (at or above the belly button) So her terminology has multiple possibly interpretations.

[@alynkabear]

I never felt comfortable with high or low rise, always went for medium, and it was always hard to find in my birth country.. I even bought a high rise pair once and modified it myself.. they were my favourite ones for a long time

I just wrote to Uniqlo about that same issue. I like their casual t-shirts and have a rainbow of them to wear alone or under flannel shirts now that is winter is approaching. But I try one brand and fit well while another one although it say Xs is extra long and large to me I’d look like a ghost! So I mentioned to them is very challenging to order in line. Everything is so different in same store. Is a struggle for a 5’3 petite I’ll look like Droopy.

Thank you for confirming what I had always said. There are different rise lengths for the right body fit. It is not only low or super high.

With high rise pants, skirts, jeans, etc it looks like someone cut out a section of me and stuck my boobs right over my bottom 1/2. This was SO informative! I hired a stylist about six years ago, and she chose skirts that “fell” at my natural waist line and made me look like I was disproportionate.

I have a relatively small waist, but quite a big lower belly and if I wear a high rise, it cradles my tummy and kind of presents it to the world.

Whereas a mid rise kind of cuts across my tummy horizontally and breaks up the sticky outty bit so it's not quite so obvious 😚

I'm just under 5'0". The overall shape, created by the pattern maker of the pair of jeans, matters because except for length, that is hard to tailor later. We are lucky that today there are many more 'fits' to choose from. Mid-rise works best for me; high rise is just too high. I have long slender legs and a slightly shorter torso length. Width-wise, Skinny fit or boyfriend jeans look best. Wide jeans add too much bulk for me. This entire year, I have ONLY worn Silver Jeans cuffed cropped boyfriend. (I had to cut the hem and fold to be above the ankle) - one distressed pair and one medium blue with no distressing. These have worked with EVERY look from dressy to casual, and they go with the usual petite girl shoes: ankle boots, short western boots, lug sole boots, wedge sandals or platform sneakers.

I used to hate high rise, even as a kid, it wasn't comfortable on me. Low rise was in style when I was a teen, and my friend taught me a great shopping hack to tell if the pants were low rise. If they were longer than a hand's length from the crotch to waist, they were too high! Now in my 30's I appreciate high rise bottoms. I just can't have it too high, or it throws off my proportions, as my waist isn't super defined and I'm only 5'.

[@EmA-sm8se]

I honestly can't stand the high rise trend for my body. I have a slightly shorter waist and high rise makes me look squat and fatter around the middle...like I have no midsection. I can't wait for lower and mid rise to come back in style because it makes me look longer and leaner with a thinner waist. Another absolute no is tucking tops in. The best I can do is a half tuck. I see a lot of people wearing high rise and super high rise jeans and it looks awful on them imo. It may look slightly flattering from the front, however, they look like they have a super big and long bum from behind, and many look like they have a tummy from the side view with all that extra bulky material in the front.

[@ABCstockholm007]

Yeah High Rise are ugly but media advertise it as the Nonplus Ultra Best Jeans ever... to guess what... make moooooney with stupid trends 😂

[@vaderladyl]

I had never had an issue finding midrise all these years because I buy online mostly and I I don't go to super trendy, only one style of pants kind of store, but go to classier stores that offer better selection.

[@OlderWomenRock]

I wear high rise but can’t be too high . I’m 5ft 2 , Pear Shape , slightly short torso xx

[@srky4346]

Wow! Super helpful! Thank you for saving me money and frustration 💰

[@PetiteDressing]

Happy to help!

[@ginafriend1690]

I had to stop in my scroll track, seeing your humor 😄 I watched, although not petite like you. I'm somewhere between petite but lean more towards normal, with my longer torso, shorter leg action. Odd, I know. It is what it is and always a hunt for the right fit 🥱. Probably best to take along a small measuring tape to measure the correct inches 💭 once you do know it! Have fun! 😊

[@PetiteDressing]

Thanks for sharing, Gina! Glad you like it!

[@flamom1]

Fwiw I love how the paper bag pants look on you!!!

[@PinkTigger33]

This is helpful. When I was a teen and super skinny, I used to always buy high rise slim fit jeans. Now that I am older and apple shaped, being 5'2" with long legs and a high waist and short torso as well as being amply curvy, it's really hard to find jeans that fit. I can't often buy petites because the legs are too short. I have to size up to fit my waist, and then the butt and thighs end up being baggy, it's a challenge for sure. It's hard to find jeans to fit all those curves just the right way. Thank goodness for cotton jeans that are mixed with spandex that have some give so you can move and breathe, and bend over to tie those shoelaces!

[@joannemorris4451]

Good information. I never realized before that my ribs are so close to my hips. That's one reason I don't have much waist! Thanks for focus on petites.

[@PetiteDressing]

Glad it was helpful, JoAnne!

[@Echolyris212]

She really put in some work on her video and I appreciate that.

[@PetiteDressing]

Thank you!

[@glendamarie6256]

Thank u for this video. I am 4'9" so I have more challenges than you have. I like your channel, although I can't wear those high heels that you have recommended. Can you suggest clothing labels that are affordable( not cheap, affordable) for working women? Thanks in advance, stay safe and more power to you and your channel.

[@maritelaandrade]

a little confusing info. I will stick to midrise { not low, not high) perfect rise

[@vaderladyl]

Yes midrise for me too.

[@camillevote7901]

I look better in high rise but I HATE the feeling on my stomach I wear mid-low because they feel good 👍 I’m 5’2” long legs short waist to hips reg waist to shoulder

[@senkraus7894]

I am petite and 154 cm in height and with my body type no high rise works for me as they always reach to my rib cage so i always wear mid rise instead.

[@inktvis6453]

Hi Chi. Thanks for your funny and lovely video.

[@deisicm659]

Great informative video! Thank you!! I'm a petite woman and years ago, back in high school I would always wear low-rise jeans. When I started getting curves, low rise jeans just seemed to fit weird and I would wear high waist because it was popular and it would reach so high which also looked weird. I will definitely keep in mind to measure the rise of my favorite jeans so all my future jeans will be my favorite!

[@PetiteDressing]

Thanks for sharing!! Glad you like them, Daze!

[@shellbellexx3]

This just completely makes sense. Great info ! So glad I came across this video.

[@holiviaye8241]

Thank you! That's very helpful tips.

[@taralouise2194]

This would be great if the different rises were available in the stores at all times, but right now it's all high rise and it does not look flattering on me! Argh. I'll be close to sewing my own clothes soon to get what I want!

[@hopeard4014]

Once I discovered high rise, I never went back lol. I used to be hour glass (before having a baby and a c section). Now I have a tummy… so no rise of jean looks particularly flattering on me.

[@PetiteDressing]

Thanks for sharing, Hope!

[@JC-yc8wg]

Hi Chi ! I find your videos entertaining and extremely useful. Thank you! Keep up your good work. 🙂

[@eixirt]

Thanks for the heads up. Now i know my rise hihi.

[@naeluvsGCH]

This was super helpful. I've never thought about these things! Love this channel.

[@marysia_ml3744]

Thank you Chi, it is very useful knowledge 🙂

[@hannahlearnsmandarin8637]

I'm 5'2 and love mid-high rise I have a LONG torso. My husband is 4 inches taller than me. But when we sit next to each other my head is higher than his! This was a great video. 👍

[@PetiteDressing]

Thanks for sharing!!

[@christubbs2614]

So informational, your channel is terrific! Thank you for your content!

[@PetiteDressing]

Glad you liked them, Chris!

[@Luvthypaper233]

I'm going to my cupboard right now. Thank you for your advice . Love to u xx.

[@yneider2686]

Very helpful I have a small waist and big thighs! It’s hard finding jeans.....

[@rn2787]

I don't mind having things higher on my torso, but most things that are labeled "high-rise" go up to my breast, even many "petite" labeled items. I am 4'11 so "low-rise" was "mid-rise" or even "high-rise". I'm glad that I can find more options now than the past 8+ years.

[@tinahuttner7280]

Oh my gawd,right there w you,I’m 5’4 and short legged. I’ve been wearing the wrong rise of jeans,the mid rise😛when I need the higher rise ones.

[@PetiteDressing]

Try it! High waisted jeans makes your legs look longer! ❤️

[@laurennguyen1008]

Rise is an issue I never paid attention to before but that is what is wrong with some of the pants I own--too high. I should buy mid rise, short length or cropped pants.

[@kimberlyperrotis8962]

It’s tough, I’m 5’4.5”, but my lower torso is the long part of my torso. Petite pants don’t work on me, the rise is too low, but regular pants are always way too long in the legs, aargh! I wish pants weren’t always in the 33-36” inseam length, I have to shorten them by up to ten inches! Ridiculous.

[@smallmevt]

Go to American eagle they got x short to x long .. I’m 4 ft 11 inches sizes to 000 to 24

[@YeshuaKingMessiah]

I’ve only worn jeans for decades so I can roll them. Finally appreciate those long inseams as my last 3 girls have had legs that don’t stop and sometimes even find pants too short! 🤯 I’m so jealous of their height. Btwn 3.5-6” taller than I! And none are short waisted as I.

[@louisedolloff836]

Mid rise is my best bet. High rise squeezes my ribs, and low rise exposes too much butt when I sit....

[@forchun88arrereh50]

I can relate 😁😅 but i cant let go of my jeans because i Love them 😁thanks for sharing 💗
