It would be supportive to see your outfits also styled with flats. Heels don’t work for everyone. When I worked i ALWAYS wore heels. Now I am retired, working as an artist at home but not wearing heels unless special occasion. Seeing more tips on wearing flats for petites would be helpful. It may not be your personal preference but there are a lot of petite women like me wanting to stick to flats😊

Youtube just now put your channel in my feed. I am so glad! Your channel is exactly what I need for my height and my modest income!

[mylouietherd]

I am 5’8” with a longer body to leg ratio. No matter the height your rules apply. I learned some helpful tips . Thank you.

I love that American eagle has an extra short option! I’m 5’1 and have bought so many jeans that fit perfectly since I’ve discovered!

Love this ! I’m 5’2” short-legged umpa lumpa, I need this ! Thanks for the help

You don't need to improve, you're such a lovely person. Love your advise too!!

I am so glad I found you! I am 5'2" and am frustrated with pants length. Now I know what to look for, I can skip trying on so many pairs of paints! Thank you.

[kimhagen]

Thank you so much for explaining rises and “crop” tops--I am tall, but I actually have short legs (and a long torso). I didn’t realize what I was doing wrong. I just knew low rise jeans are uncomfortable on me and don’t look good. Now I understand why!

[humblebee]

I m very happy I found your channel two days ago. It's the best channel for petite girls!!! You cover every subject to perfection! Thank you

[Iris-fpuk]

i'm not sure about the flared jeans. i have short legs/ long torso and muscular, thicker legs. i also have an hourglass shape more leaning towards inverted triangle. i find the flared jeans emphasize my thicker thighs. my favorite are super high rise tapered jeans. they look best on me if they fit a little loose around my thighs. great tips!!

I am very impressed with your Presentation. You are interested and knowledgeable about US Petite ladies who struggle with our Comfort and Presentation. I appreciate you and please continue on your Journey

I associate bell-bottoms with the 1970's. So glad I saved my flared jeans that regained popularity in the late 1990's... from highschool! So many more shorter options for pants now than when I was a teenager.

[helenandrews]

Extremely helpful. So many of my almost new jeans end up being donated to a charity shop because they just don’t look right on me. Thanks to your video I feel more informed and can now find some jeans that will look and feel more flattering on my figure. You explain everything very clearly. Thank you so much.

[nora-cude]

Even though jeans are labeled as high waist, some of them are middle waist for me too! Your videos are what I needed. Thank you💕

i'm almost 27 and just now learning how to dress my petite body and find my personal style - thanks to your videos! i've been binging your content nonstop the past week as i prep to update my wardrobe for the first time in years :)

[helgaioannidis]

I buy jeans at Marks and Spencer. I'm 159cm and have short legs. It's the only jeans I don't need to shorten. Their jeans come in 3 lengths: long, normal, short.

Haha I love being petite too, 99% of the time😂 except when looking for pants. 😂👍🏻
I’m 5ft 2in.
