Great video. ❤ I am 5’3.5” and I am a size 14, full bust and short waisted with long legs. I can get away with cropped pants as they balance my proportions. I have 4 pair of nicer cropped pants and two casual. I also wear boot cut and flare jeans these are usually my preference as they accentuate my legs. I also wear open neckline tops. My shoulders are soft so I buy drop shoulders tops or collared shirts. I also stay away from puff sleeves. I can only wear a very slight puff. I don’t wear heels but I do wear lug sole boots & loafers for comfort and I prefer the style. I get jeans hemmed by a tailor because I like a more finished bottom on my jeans in case I dress them up a bit. I wear knee length, ankle length and mid calf length dresses because I do have longer legs and I always try to buy a dress with an open neckline and simple colors. I only wear stripes. No florals or big prints. Lots of solid colors. I like the cotton shirts from Everlane. The cotton is thick and the style is not so cropped that they are showing your stuff. I too love a waistline right at the belly button, too high is not my thing and I need some room since I’m short waisted. I find bras at Torrid, I find petite items at Chico’s and Talbots. I usually only look for petite jackets if they are a fitted look so the waist hits at the right area as long as the sleeve is not too short. Chico’s also has Chico’s off the rack-online and in outlets. I wear their jeans. They are soft and comfortable and they come in basic styles. I also like Torrid jeans, the denim is soft and comfortable. I also love banana republic factory. I find sweaters, & dresses there all the time and very affordable & stylish. ❤ 😊

I'm 4'11", my inseam is 24" and I'm bottom heavy with big thighs. I LOVE Eddie Bauer Boyfriend jeans! They always fit whether I'm a size 6 to 12. Currently I'm in my 12's, I have 6 pair of EB in rotation, all are boyfriend, relaxed petite or cropped and while they all fit different as far as length, waist size, leg width, etc. Somehow they still all manage to fit and look good!! I buy them as well as most all my clothes exclusively on sites like poshmark and mercari so they cost a fraction of retail prices.

Thanks Elana. I just subscribed. Here's a TIP: I frequently buy jeans in Target's Kid Department. Sizes run up to 16 (based basically on the child's age). Size 14 fits me perfectly. However, styles do vary and I don't think I would ever order online. Saves a ton of money compared to what jeans cost elsewhere and I love the inner gizmo that allows you to adjust the waist size. Looking forward to checking out more of your videos. Thanks again.

Ooh, how refreshing - 5ft 3" here, I hate high waist, feel lost Tip: bootcut jeans, cut hem off with at least an inch extra material. Now trim jeans to the exact length you want - now add the hem back on, need a sewing machine for this, sew super close to original seam - this way you haven't lost original hem but have shortened them - hope this helps.

Most jeans have Lycra in them for a little stretch. When you dry them in the dryer it wrecks the Lycra. They look good when you first put them on but when you bend, sit and flex your knees they invariable “bag out.” Line dry overnight.

I was having difficulty finding the correct bra size. 36A cup size was right but the rest of the bra was too tight and 38B was way too big. I bought a 2-hook bra extender from Amazon now 36A bras fit perfectly! I feel like the Fashion Industry left out a majority of us when they switched to high-waisted straight leg and boot cut jeans. Skinny miid-rise are so hard to find. I finally found jeans that fit! Levi 311 jeans size 4 except I’m going to need to add elastic to the waist because they stretch out after one day.

I buy my shoes from "Pretty Small Shoes" in the UK. A bit expensive, but worth it. Another option where I find my shoes are vintage shoes which feature my size or 4B. The US has nothing in my size. J. Crew sometimes has my size of 000 Petite or a OO Petite which runs small. I am not only Petite, but very slim. I have subscribed to your channel. At 74, I know what flatters me. You have mentioned many of my tricks! Size 5 sneakers are quite nice for me in Ladies. I have a high arch, childrens shoes do not, and they are too wide. My denim pants are a size 12 slim, children's over 20 years old. They are straight leg. I shall try some of the brands mentioned. Appreciate the tips!
