    So I binge watched your videos on Friday Saturday. Sunday i decided to dress based on all you tips for petite hourglass body shape.
    I HAD SO MANY COMPLIMENTS!! I went to the mall and strangers were telling me what good style I had. Someone even took a photo of my shoes because they thought they were so cool. (I have worn those shoes plenty on times but styled wrong no one noticed them!)
    Thaaaaank you so so much! I feel so much more confident and these videos helped a lot!

    Everything Ms Li says makes so much sense. And there is absolutely NO hint of body shaming at all. I love how she shows an example of every point she makes and how she covers every body type in the petite realm. Also, she does not try to conceal that she is an apple shape, but shows her cute tummy when it helps her make a point.

    Hi. Your excellent advice, energetic personality and great sense of humor make your channel fun to watch and informative. While I am not considered petite at 5'4, I just wanted to say that I love my height. I think it's perfect for me. I have zero desire to be taller. I also think everyone, no matter how short she is should love her height as well. Continue doing great things. Peace.

    I’m sharing my bits with you- maybe it’s good input for you for another video . I’m 155 CMs with long legs and arms and a short boxy torso . My legs begin at my ribs ! For me the very short length never really worked as I looked “ waist less “ so for years now I’ve worn midis and worked all over the world with nude heels ; it always got me compliments. My idea of saying this is - look at the rules but really customise your look . So I’m a midi petite and now that I’m 49 I can understand that the midi always added length to my torso . It’s the 2/3 rd rule

    Thanks, Chi! Love your video and sense of humour! Your legs look amazing in the handkerchief skirt! Wow! I love the simplicity of the oversize look but you're right, it looks very frumpy when I actually put one on unless you're a supermodel! Take care! :)
