Your channel is not only helpful but you're so funny. Just makes my day.
The most helpful
Aweeee thank you so much! ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much! ❤️❤️
Agreed! I love your sense of humor with the expressions and music:)
I think the same !
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.
Yeah I hate heels been waiting for this one
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.
Yes, agree with both comments about how it would be great to see a video from you on how to style pants to look decent without heels - even though we know heels and long pants are ideally the best for us. (Just not the most comfortable!)
Totally agree. Let's see some cute shoes that are flat or kitten heels or wedges.
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!!
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.
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 🌟
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.
Have you found a brand that checks all (or majority) of the boxes?
I am retired now, but was reminded that Ann Taylor has petite curvy pants. I used to buy them for work and they were great. I didn’t need to have them altered at all. Not sure if they do chinos or denim, but will look again. I believe Talbots also does petite and curvy style. That is my first style to search for. I try to wait for sales as often as possible. I have some things from White House Black Market also. Good luck!
@@GinaB-LV thank you so much for the information!
My mother was 5' with a figure like you. She looked wonderful in everything as she was slim with a beautiful figure. I learned my style from her, although I wish I had her curves.
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.
This makes my heart melt! Thank you so so much! ❤️❤️
@@PetiteDressing Best wishes to you my dear, and to your family.
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.
I am 5’4” with similar leg structure, long pants seam to look better. I have never worn capris, they stick to my calves!😂🤪
Good news - you don't need to wear pants at all. I do well without it😅😁
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! ❤
Aweeeeee, I appreciate this! Thank you so much! ❤️
@@PetiteDressing , I appreciate you, and you are so welcome! ❤
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 😭
R.I.P capri's 😂 this was another informative video, thank you 🙂
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
I would love a video on the new length.
Pleated pants and capris look terrible on me. I’m 66 and 5’1. I have big thighs and muscular calves and a bubble but so skinny jeans makes me look short and fat.
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😂
In all my 82 years this is THE VERY BEST EVER channel for petites. Thank you. Thank you.
Agree. Every other style channel/site has done me wrong.
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!
I love your sense of humor! Your videos are always useful and fun❤
So good to know! Thank you so much! ❤️❤️
You always have the funniest ways of telling me aI look a mess.😂
Hahahaha thank you so much! Anything for you guys! ❤️
best recommendations - as always. And I love your humor. ❤
Thank you so much! ❤️
😳 It all makes sense now! 😂. The drop crotch wasn’t doing me any favors and now I know why!
Great advice! I did like your pink jcrew pants, however. I was thinking monochromatic with the color jeans might help
I love this channel, I have the same type of body but with large breast, and I really struggle when I have to go shopping, usually I buy something its not for my body type 😢
Oh no, I love bright colored pants!! I have a peachy-orange pair and 3 red pairs in different cuts - including tapered…. I will take a long, hard look in the mirror!
I am 52 years old, and my legs are perfectly toned/ slightly muscular. I wear shorter skirts to show them off but sometimes the skirt isn't appropriate. I walk a few miles every day, in uncomfortable heat from July-Sept and I wear comfortable shoes for walking. I also wear skorts. Are they the only style of shorts that work with short legs?
Made me laugh when you did the big sigh before Capri pants🤗🤣🐨
Thanks for being true to yourself. You‘re funny 🙃
Just a tip for capri pants: my legs are short and... sturdy (as you politely put it) so I choose capri flare pants and wear them with tight and pointy dark booties or pointy boots made of elastic fabric that get hidden under the flare. I think it makes me look taller and slimmer 😊
I really enjoyed this video. As a 5 foot petite, I don't usually follow any rules for dressing for petites. But I do love how you put these videos together with your humor as well. It's great! Over the past year, I keep going through my closet and slowly weeding out what is not working for me anymore. I'm slowly realizing how much I dislike shorter length pants, especially. I cut off so many pants in 2015 when the trends was cropped and now I don't like any of those pants. So, I think it's important for petites to really not follow trends unless they know it will be something they will still wear ten years later and love on their body. Just my experience. Lately I think that straight or wide legs that cover my foot are the most flattering of all. I have some tapered pants and do wear them and I have some interesting leg silhouette pants, but overall I prefer my straight and wide legs. My feet also look big for my body and watching the beginning of this made me realize how ridiculous my feet often look when I do wear pants that show any part of my ankles of above. So this is eye awakening on many levels for me. Thank you!
Thank you so much! ❤
😂 I hate capris too, the only one who was looking divine in capris was Marilyn Monroe...... but because her face awesome video Chi❤
I love your channel ❤ I agree with everything you suggested. Keep up the wonderful work
Thank you so much! ❤️❤️
I have learned so much form you and I love how you inject comedy throughout!
I don’t wear heels, how to style long pants?
Pointed shoes help.
I can’t wear heels at all. All of my pants are straight leg and I wear flats; ballet, loafers,slides, low heel ankle boots.
I don't wear heels either but for a less casual look , I've found that a low wedge style w/ an almond toe in a plain neutral colors like tan / camel or black ( coordinating closely w/ the pant color ) is a nice alternative . Comfort & classic .
the white pants outfit in 5:26 looks lovely on you, wow
You have so many beautiful outfits on your website/shop! Thank you for sharing your elegance and knowledge of petite fashion with us. You're amazing and I wish you all the best 🍀
You're very much welcome! Glad I can be of help ❤️
Your advice is spot on. I have started wearing a wider, longer trouser for first time, I look so much better! ..love the fun factor you use with these videos..thank you Chi❤
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!
Thank you so much! 💖💖
I am slim and petite. I am high waisted, but do not have short legs. Pants with a long rise are a disaster on me. The top of the legs start a quarter to half way to my knees. I take a size 000 petite so finding pants for me is difficult. J. Crew carries my size, although not often. Capri pants do not flatter anyone. Closest I have come to wearing them was to roll up jeans while gardening or washing snake bins and litter boxes on my deck with the hose. I do not like barrel leg ugly pants, or any that are bulky around the waist. Skinny jeans are perfect for boots.
Very vel scripted and cut. You are a very good teacher in so many ways ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I appreciate this, thank you so much! ❤️
you are always a pleasure to watch
Thank you! ❤️❤️
I agree with Chi, My mother-in-law gave me a few pieces amazing quality silk garments, but their length and shape make me look at least 10 years older, luckily I have pretty good sewing skills, just a little of alterations make them look completely different on me.
Oh and I agree about the barrel legged thing. I just bought trackie bottoms which are cuffed at the bottom and look bulky around the middle. Make me look chubby😂
Agree with everything except the bright bottom. Great video!
Thank you so much! ❤️
I like how direct to the point your videos. Not wasting time in the intro is the best.
So helpful as usual! I did learn a tip from an Italian influencer about capris that I think are the one exception where they do work; when they are slim fitted all the way from waist to hem, including slim through the thighs, and the bottom hem ends right below your knee cap, no lower. But almost all capris in stores are NOT like that and I agree with your comment. When they go wrong, they go very very wrong. NYDJ does do a petite size very slim fitted black denim capri that ends just below the knee cap that I think is actually very flattering, but that is the only example I've ever seen that I thought looked good.
I agree with you completely. I like to wear the length that falls just below the knee cap, dark in color, slim fitting and not baggy. I am 5' 1".
I guess those are still called capris but it is the length I wear in the summer.
So.....agree with you for sure on that. They are not so easy to find though.
P.S. Is NYDJ an online store or an actual physical store? I am not familiar with them. What does the DJ stand for?
@@suzannelawson9215 it's "Not Your Daughters Jeans" and it is carried by Macys and Nordstrom but I think they also have a direct on-line store which may have more petite selections.
How about if your colourful pants are wide legged/ straight legged, though? Isn't that better?
I hope so, I love my red pants!
@@gailwilliams5278 same her, although my wide leggers are purple!
This video is BRILLIANT! You've put into words exactly why I felt so weird wearing pairs of jeans/pants that were supposedly the perfect size with me, but which made me feel super fat and short. I understand now what was the big problem. And the "high waist" pleats pants that made me look like my ass was huge...the hips line was the problem. Thank you! The right pants (the navy ones at the 4:30 mark) make you look so much taller, like several inches taller. Fantastic advice.
the green pants are Beaautifuuul!
Thank you so so much! ❤
Your legs looked a 100times longer in the high rise pants than the mid rise pants. I get that low rise is kind of the style, but for classic trousers, Im not seeing it. I have a really toned midsection, and small waist, but I love the way pleated pants look as long as they are not jeans, because it gives that classy, Katherine Hepburn look. Im just not into that 2000 era stuff.
I really like your video. It's very useful. I have a question: the culotte pants. Are they like Capri pants?. Are they ok for petites women?.
Crying sobbing screaming coughing wheezing at the realization of how many clothes I own that actually look like shit on me ;_;
Thats completely backwards. Lower rise pants make your legs look shorter. I hate to tell you this, but the past you think make your legs look longer make them look not only shorter but not straight. Kind of bowed.
Im sorry. The midrise is probably comfortable, but they make your legs look much shorter. And the problem with your peach pants( besides the fact the you tried to wear them with black shirt, is that they are just too short for you. I suppose the length of the torso matters.
Hello i am Asian too i am 5 feet and pear shape i feel happy to find your RUclips channel because i get some ideas how to dress myself up which i always had a problem as i didn't have ideas on how to dress according to my body shape .
Hi, you r great thank u.Could u tell me short not straight ,slim legs, what kind of trousers should i wear pls?
😂❤
What do you think about bermuda? I like the more chique ones.. ?
That’s why I hate ppl keep recommending me the super high weight pants.
Such great advice. Love your channel. You have a wonderful way presenting showing comparisons. Thank you Chi.
You're very welcome! ❤️
I have a pair of stretch denim capris and I love them so much... so comfortable. I just can't give up on them 🥲🙂🙂 I guess I can make my legs look longer if I wear a bit of heels (which I hardly do and hate them). I do have long slim legs shorter torso for a 5'4".

Can you please do a video on beachwear for petite girls?
What type of pants do you wear with flats, all your pants on this video are shown with heels
Thank you for the info…I will keep these tips in mind! A fan of yours from 🇨🇦
You're always welcome! ❤️❤️❤️
Such funny videos! Happy when I see you posted ❤
Aweeee, I appreciate this! Thank you so much! ❤️❤️
To elongate your legs wear pointed shoes, the same color as your trousers
I have a couple of corset waisted pants, and I think the way to solve the high waist making your legs look short are wearing similar color top and wearing heels. This video helped me understand. I wore one to a picnic with sneakers and loose and white top and was wondering why my bottom half looked weird. I also realized the back pockets are set too low on that pant. And it's a straight, cropped leg. Funny how I thought they would be the best looking pants on me.
So true! The petites section in Department Stores is the worst!! And everything else is made for women who are 5’8” .
I nearly cried when I donated my pixie pants earlier this year. Need to check the hem length on my office pants. Still teaching from home, 3 years later.
I agree that capris are unflattering and aging. Never again.
😊❤👩🏻🦳👍‼️
Having to make a lot of choices
About slacks to wear when Ci is
Short and it makes sense to choose
The right slacks for her short height
She will she is sensible and get it right
Slacks that are open on the side too
From the hips to the legs are nice too
Revealing the beauty of wearing no panties
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🌟✨🌟✨😍😍👍👍🙏🙏🙏
Always great videos
Thank you so so much! ❤️
Im 5'0 "and im glad to hear this Chi it helps a lot that same to me a petite lady.itw hard to choose a dress or pants that suite for us.thank u for this video.
Very helpful, thank you.
You are so correct about capris pants! I have one pair that I bring out ONLY if I will be some place where having people think I'm a senior will be helpful; i.e.: the DMV. Otherwise, I substitute gauchos or above-the-ankle cigarette pants -- both of these must be done very carefully (also I'm 5'6" with long legs).
I love your show!
Thank you so much! 💖
Capris are basically pants on me 😂
Me encantan sus consejos, los que logro entender 😅 me encantaría que tuviera subtitulos en español.
I agree with you…I have never worn capris, they are so ugly… I am 68 and 5”2 130 so you’re channel is great for me….thanks..😊
You're welcome! ❤️
Thank you for these tips! Looking back, so often I have found all these tips to be true as I have tried on pants, but just couldn't put my finger on why they didn't look good! This video is super helpful-Thanks!!
You're very much welcome! ❤️
Thanks Chee. A good giggle and awesome advise. Yes the capris are the most unflattering pants of all time for 5’2” gals and that’s me. 👏🏻💖
You're very much welcome! 💖
