    To all my beautiful petite ladies, if you're short its not a disaster, please don't self sabotage yourself, its even cute and girly to be short , there are lots of tall and handsome guys who prefer short girls with petite sizing. Regardless of your height always remember we are all beautiful and worthy of love and respect no matter how short or tall we are. Our inherent worth doesn't change with our external standards of beauty our size. Never let anyone disrespect or disdain your self worth.

      Agree but it's good to know that what we wear suits our size.

    You amaze me with your advice, especially that we can still wear the longer blazer by using a shorter skirt. Thank you so much.

    Another fun and informative video! I’m glad you included the longer blazer. I prefer them even though I’m only 5’0 and technically they’re less flattering; they’re cooler and more modern where I live (France) than the shorter, more fitted ones.

    You are the best with "petite" dressing! That proportion video was definitely a game changer for me. I have exchange my long tops for crop tops and wow, never look that good on me. This blazer is also really great. I always want to wear blazers but couldn't figure it out why it didn't suit me. Thought because I look too young for my age, but it was the... proportion again. Keep up the good work with your videos! ^^

    This came at the right time for me I'm basically 5 ft and have been wanting to add at least one blazer to my wardrobe. For colour scheme navy is the best colour for me. But all your tips about which blazer to go for and how to wear the different types of blazer are incredibly useful.
    Really be enjoy my watching your videos on general.

    Love your videos. I learned so much from watching them. Big fan of all the examples you use; both of what works and what doesn't. Also love the explanations you give for why something is good or bad. I have your voice in my head when I shop now: "watch out for horizontal lines" 😃
    English is not my first language so I love it when you do not have background music on your videos. It makes it easier for me to understand.

    To keep blazer sleeves pushed up, try putting some sort of elastic band over the sleeve, tuck and hide the elastic. Don’t cut off your circulation, obviously!

    @user-bv1ss5nj9b Год назад

    Thank you, dear. I love, love, love blazers and have many. But styling them for non-suit/non-office settings has been challenging on my 5'2 body with a large bust. 🙄
    Also, I live in northern US and am always cold. Wearing a blazer helps me stay comfortable all day and adjust to the temp. In winter I wear it all day, but in summer, I take on/off depending on how hot it is outside and how cold the AC is indoors.
    You've given me some great ideas. Can't wait to break out the blazers again for casual days.
    Thank you. Cheers! 😇

    You are so right about the long sleeves! I have blazers I love but the sleeves are almost always too long - I am cheap so I always check that they will look good rolled up before I buy them. It's always nice when the inside of the sleeve is well finished so I have options.

  • @rosainecalmeyer4428
    @rosainecalmeyer4428 2 года назад

    I always tailor long sleeves and I’ve had most of my jackets for 20 years. It’s so worth it. For blouses, and I’m doing one right now, I put a wide elastic at the bottom of the sleeve so it’s easy to pull up and keep up. Soft printed fabric works best. I can’t sew so I always look for the easiest way. BTW your channel is fantastic.

  • @janetgray416
    @janetgray416 3 года назад

    You spoke on a video about how to determine if heels are comfortable by the space between the heel and the ball of the foot space. What is the measurement that space should be on a 3 inch heel for most people? That would be really helpful.

    I am 5"0 and have found 3/4 sleeves to end just short of my wrists, so not quite long enough for cooler weather nor looks quite stylish enough to wear any other time 🤔 Oh, and those drop shoulder shirts/dresses sleeves end where the 3/4 ones do but depending on the style/color of those is what can make it or break the look 😏

    You are so cute (I say that in the best way possible, I love your personality). I will probably binge all your videos now. I just started a very respectable position as an engineer that has allowed me to wear skirts and more feminine outfits. My last job I had to dress as if I would work around welding in the shop, so I had to wear long pants that goes over my steel toed boots. But now I am more free in my work attire so this has sparked a heavy interest in how I look in the workplace. I am also 5'2.

    I have a tough time finding blazers that will fit my narrow, petite frame. Everything is too long, and huge in the shoulders. Plus, I want high quality, good brands like The Curated don’t make petites. I won’t buy any of those huge, oversized, super-long blazers that are on offer now, but wait until classic fit ones return.

    @kimberlyperrotis8962 3 года назад

    I have one blazer tip for petites: if you know the sleeves are usually too long, look for blazers without the cuff vent and buttonholes. It’s much cheaper to have the sleeves shortened if they are just simple tubes, with decorative-only buttons (no buttonholes). Women with some sewing experience can easily do this themselves, even without a sewing machine (it’s not that much stitching, mostly measuring, cutting and pressing). Decorative-only buttons can be easily moved, just keep the same spacing and distance from the cuff end.

    I don't understand why anything is sized specific to someone 5'4" when those people only need an inch heel to be average! Why aren't all petites sized at the average between our tiny crew like at 5'2"?? There is a company right now making "extra short inseams" that are 27" and I'm not sure how that is considered extra short and not just their short inseam option.
