Your channel is not only helpful but you're so funny. Just makes my day.

[cavhutch]

In all my 82 years this is THE VERY BEST EVER channel for petites. Thank you. Thank you.

[littlemom]

I loved the gray depressing moment when you said you never wore those peach colored pants in two years. We’ve all had those moments- thanks for keeping it real.

I totally agree about capris! I have gotten used to straight leg jeans and wide-leg pants, but I would love to see a video on styling the wider leg pants/jeans with shoes other than heels. I work from home and have a casual lifestyle. I'm also 58. Heels just are not a shoe I wear often. I so appreciate your videos and truly believe that I am dressing better because of them.

I love how detailed you are in your explanations! You give us what to avoid but then you also explain why they don’t always work for shorties, which is super helpful. Often I can see that certain styles just aren’t for me, but I can’t exactly figure out why. Thanks, I’ll be tuning in more often!!

Love your content! Please do a video of how to style pants with no heels. I don't wear heels and would love to know.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I am petite (5’1”) and have an hourglass figure. Buying pants has always been a huge challenge for me. I have learned so much from watching your channel. I am using your suggestions and they really help me. I have become a real scientist when shopping for pants. I know better what to look for re: rise, pant length and waste definition. Not an expert yet, but light years ahead of where I used to be. I actually look so much better in my clothes now and just as important, I feel better. Keep posting so I can keep learning.

Oh my, you are the only youtuber I have watched that actually pointed out what's wrong with my pants! I've always wanted to wear pants but couldn't coz I knew something was off lol & I just couldn't see it.

Your tip is gold! Thank you so much 😭

[LyricalLioness]

Great video, as usual. The first pair of (black) slacks had a 13” rise, the pair you used as a comparison had a 10.5” rise, you said the difference was 1.5”, but it is actually 2.5”, regardless you definitely made your point 🌟

I'm 5'4" and I have very short legs. I have very large calves and thick legs in general. Huge calves have short achilles tendons. Nothing I can do about it. No matter what I weigh, from youth to maturity, those calves are still huge (17 1/4"). My daughter is 5' 3". We went to buy bikes and tried them out for sizing. Her feet generously hit the floor, and my toes barely touched. I tend to look shorter than I am and wider. Your insite has helped me to make my legs look longer Thank you so much.

[ItsMeHello]

It may not always be what we want to hear, but you give us the truth! Lol. I thank you! Feeling for confident than ever even though I’m heavier! You’re the best, Chi! ❤

[GoodyshzToo]

The tip about the pants not causing a break between feet and the legs is extremely useful. Now I know why I never liked ankle-length pants on me. On you, they looked great!

[manestage]

You always have the funniest ways of telling me aI look a mess.😂

[gandrea]

Another good video, Chi! I have never looked good in capris or pleated pants with a high waist. I love your humor, and how you get your visual images across to us!

[siusaidhchaimbeul]

Although I'm short (also 74 years old - how did that happen?), I enjoy your videos because they're funny and clever. Also, I find - trial and error - I've been applying many of your lessons most of my life.

[midlifemom]

Clever content! Its so challenging to find properly scaled pants/jeans for petites. I dont like pleats to add bulk in midsection. I agree about tapers. I have been searching for true slim straight pants but i find most have a slight narrow ankle which i do not like. Most of the time i have to hem flares or bootcuts which become straights😂

[BisayaKids]

I like how direct to the point your videos. Not wasting time in the intro is the best.

[sharynhowlum]

Made me laugh when you did the big sigh before Capri pants🤗🤣🐨

[kimberlyperrotis]

I love your sense of humor! Your videos are always useful and fun❤

[ziggysbookshop]

Love your channel. As a woman 4'11", I've noticed the trend for jeans is above the ankle. Could you do a video on how to make this new trend work on us petite women? TIA
