You are so right. It is very difficult to find clothes for a 4 11 with out having to alter each pair.

[@prajakta7817]

Oh my God!!! Are you 4'11" !?? I'm so glad to find someone justtt like me!! I'm not even 5! I can totalllyy relate when you said, each pair! It's literally each pair!!

[@uniquesakshi1605]

Ans am only 4.10

[@debkanyachakraborty8904]

I'm also 4'11

[@sandyseibelhager7131]

Also 4'11" and wear a size 2 1/2 XW shoe so shoes are also a big problem. Heels do not come in my size. 7/8 leggings are a game-changer.

i stand 4'9 only and I always have trouble finding the right pair of clothes everytime. I also have a short masculine body , big thighs and thick legs at the same time. It felt bad about wanting to wear something you want because you know It will never suits you.

[@lindalu8565]

Your videos are so helpful. I am 5'1" and well ya all know the struggle. Keep up your great advice. One thing I would recommend is working on the audio recording. Thanks

[@PetiteDressing]

Good point!

[@krisushi1]

I'm 5ft4ins and quite thin but my legs aren't long. As my legs are very thin I don't like to highlight this so I prefer a loose leg with a pant that comes in at the waist and widens out with pleats but tapers in towards the ankle. They don't need to have pleats but just as long as there is enough movement and fabric to hide my legs. I can manage to wear leggings but only with something loose on top. I did recently purchase a pair of linen wide leg pants with a matching double breasted blazer. I'd never worn wide leg pants before as I thought I could never pull off the look. To my surprise, the suit looked amazing and despite the legs on the pant being quite wide they still looked great. They still need to be taken up as I refuse to wear pants dragging the bottoms of the legs on the ground as in many of the photos shown. Although I'm quite used to altering my pants/jeans by now.

[@aurorav.7209]

Short, petite women can wear anything as long as you do everything in proportion. It's no big deal. I've been wearing longer pants with high heels covering part of the heels ever since I can remember, Its no big deal, really! You can be fashionable and even get compliments on a mini, midi, or maxi dress or skirt. No such thing as petite women can't wear this or that. It's when you are heavy is when there's limited choices, although I have seen heavy women who can look good and fashionable. Looking good in any clothes depend on poise and confidence, on how you carry yourself, not limits.

[@toluasaolu]

It means you don’t need her advice 😀. There are lots of women who need them though, I guess she is here for them

[@aliciamolloy5948]

Thank you for all the great tips.

[@paritrivedi2535]

Your suggestions are so detailed. Really useful. Thank you so much

[@PetiteDressing]

Thank you Pari! Glad you find them helpful.

[@elizabeththompson3534]

Thank you Chi. 🙂

[@gayleritter1199]

Chi you are so articulate and full of great information. Who makes that great top you have on, it’s beautiful on you?

[@PetiteDressing]

Thank you Gayle- it is actually a wrap dress from DVF!

[@louisedolloff836]

I have the same problem, I'm five foot even and petite length inseams are too long and I have to rehem them

[@a3muller52]

Great advices! Thank you!

[@amynguyen1662]

I was 4ft 11 inches 20 years ago (probably a few inches shorter now since I am pretty much ignore my height), but I do not have a problem of finding clothes because of my height. I have not thought of I should wear this or should not wear that style because of my size. Probably because I can fix all clothes that I purchase to fit me. I find myself having limit of styles because of aging. I am not saying that I disagree with you but I think the most important thing it how confident and comfortable I am on the clothes. If I wear the perfect clothes as someone advises me, but I am not confident and not comfortable, they do not look good on me. It is the question of "Am I wearing the dress or is the dress wearing me?" when I decide what to wear.

[@blankandbeauty2599]

This was great! Thank you🌹

@Cherylrose Strichelova, thank you so much for watching the video! So much appreciated of you! Hope it helps you! 💖💘

[@darkbl00mm]

I'm 5'4, but I have long torso and very short calves, so petite pants are too long for me too! That's why i shop second hand. I wish there was more variety of pants, like in levi's or wrangler

[@dentist.hening]

Thank you for this helpful video. Could you make a tips for petite girl which is has inverted triangle body shape with big arms and board shoulder, i'm so sad because no one evening dress fit with me :( thank you so much for your attention. God bless you

[@PetiteDressing]

Hi Hening- yes I’ll be making one video for each body type in the coming weeks. Stay tuned! For now, Meghan Markle can give you some style inspiration as she is an inverted triangle too.

Thanks Bertran!

[@ameliaclark5792]

I’m 5 3” and have a short waist. I love the high waisted style but they are so uncomfortable when sitting…. They feel like they are right under my bust when I sit:(

[@bonnieramirez4701]

Hi , Thank you for these great videos... I'm 4 ft 11 1/2 inches... I weigh 115 and I am curvy. I love your tips. I love highwaisted pants. I was wondering can a pair that comes a little higher then the waist be ok too?

[@PetiteDressing]

Hi Bonnie- yes! because if you are curvy you want to draw attention to higher than your natural waist!

[@akhonietsutso5802]

I'm short ,can high waist pants fit me,since I have big tummy.

[@xaiuon]

What is a cropped leg pant? I’m 5”2.

[@nancybellantoni6099]

Another great video Chi💕. I’m interested in getting a pair of high waisted pants with pleats this spring. How do you feel about the pleated pants at the waist?

[@PetiteDressing]

Thank you Nancy! Pleats are comfortable but they can also add bulk... so it’s better for girls with heavier bottom.

Me encanta verla pero no se inglés...😔😔

[@tamrabentley5723]

I’m 5ft 1 I wear my trousers 👖 high waist & short leg to show ankle & footwear This proportions work for me as wearing to long trousers over shoes is wrong for me

Hi Tamra-wearing what you feel is you is super important!

[@bahavamoss8372]

Thank you. I am petite and rectangular and slim, plus i cant wear heels It is a struggle buying pants. I love wide leg pants but those pants swallow me

How about wearing dark high waisted skinmy jeans or pants,what kind of shoes do you recommend besides black!Would nude shoes look good with dark pants?

[@PetiteDressing]

Hi nude shoes can go with dark skinny!

[@littletez85]

Loving the print you're wearing! Is it a top or a dress?

[@PetiteDressing]

This is a DVF dress!

[@justStardust940]

also, if wide length pants are unflattering on short women, why do you recommend bootleg? they are wide at the bottom too

[@vickypan5972]

Love ur videos and ur advice is brilliant. I think ur backdrop and lighting r too bright. It may make the viewers tired when watching constantly.😉

[@PetiteDressing]

Hi Vicky thank you for the feedback!

Confidence is the key...
