For Denim jeans- I've just been cutting the hem off myself. Raw Hems are the BEST THING EVER that has happened for we Petite Girls!!😘
Great tip, Prayon! xo
Love that tip 👌🏻
I have cut my jeans raw hem since 2006 bc was tired of never finding the right length
My thought as watching video 😁
Haha, I just did this a few months ago and it sure felt freeing. We are now in style!!
Here's a petite tip I can add: pay attention to fabrics. Something that drapes and moves a bit is friendlier to the petite frame than something that has a thick yarn, is stiffer and bulkier.
Great tip, Julie! xo
Particularly if petite and on the larger side. Thanks!
Erin, that blue is stunning on you! I wish I could rock a jumpsuit, I'm 5'10" and have a long torso, the waist is usually right up under the girls. Not a good look. Such great tips Erin! I want you to know you are loved and appreciated! Woot woot!!!😃
That is SO sweet of you to say! I really appreciate you! xo
When people write reviews I wish they would include height and weight and bust size. Such a help when they do.
I agree...it is so helpful! xo
all measurements! When someones just says their height and weight, it really doesn't mean much.
Totally, I specifically look for those reviews.
💟
Love these tips! I also find the high waist trend is so much more flattering for us petite ladies. I feel so much taller and more slim with a high waist vs mid cut!!!!
I have tried so many high waisted jeans, but they are too high and hit my rib cage and then bulge out in front. At 5' tall, a midrise jean is perfect. Just harder to find midrise jeans.
I prefer mid rise jeans. High rise always gives me mom jeans vibe.
Being 4’10” is REALLY CHALLENGING finding jeans, but I have done cropped which are perfect for me, and I thank my mom, may she Rest In Peace, who taught me how to sew and hem my pants and skirts!
Cropped jeans are a great option and knowing how to hem your own pants is such a wonderful skill! xo
As a 4'11" gal I completely LOVED your video & tips. I love being petite & love wearing the most flattering, proportional clothing. The tips were great ... the comparisons even better. Great, great video Erin! Thank you so much. ♥️
You are so welcome! Glad this was helpful, Audrey! ~Team Busbee
I'd love you to do another version of this excellent video: how to look longer and leaner in flat shoes or low-ish heels for those of us who are walking around all day or who have knee/back problems.
I need to wear flat shoes because of bunions and low back problems. Especially being petite! I would definitely like to know how to look better in my flat shoes.
Or if you have plantar fasciitis and can’t wear heels anymore
Yes thats for me too! Cannot wear heels, bad knees
I remember and lament my days of skipping around in my sky-high heels. Now knee problems and weak ankles. Actually it's the ankles that did me in!
Now I wear wedges...for dress, at the beach, slip-ons. They give a nice line since the ankles and heels are bare so look longer, IMO. Except for working out, I even wear sneaker mules...just me.
@@NeelamPuri try Vionic brand shoes.
American Eagle has great, affordable jeans AND they even have “XX-Short”! I’m 5’3 1/2” & I buy their Short & X-Short options...XX-Short gives me a nice “cropped” look. And you CAN find “clean” jeans there, too, they’re not all destroyed/ripped 👍🏻
That's good to know, I never knew that..thanks for the tip!
I agree!! I love their jeans💙
Are American Eagle jeans in juniors sizes though?
They make great jeans
Thanks for the tip. I’m looking for dark wash, clean jeans. It’s the one basic I don’t have.
I really like this breakdown, I would simply add that pear shaped petites can benefit for a suit jacket that grazes right under their bottom. Also if you match you socks to your trouser & shoes, it will lengthen anyone because it guarantees that no break in color happens, for instance when you are seated. Thank you Erin
I love how the video continues without annoying and excessive commercials!
I like to dress monochromatically. It gives the jumpsuit vibe.
Me too, Alicia! xo
Black on black is awsome.😍😍😍😍😍
1 color and a duster coat! My favorite
Can you discuss wearing black, please? With pale winter skin.
And a bit longer cardigan seems to elongate!!
This video was a home run! Being 5 ft and a 120 lbs, finding petite sizes is crucial bec there are so many factors that are adjusted for..... shoulder width, sleeve length etc. It took me almost 20 years to figure out many of the points you discussed, so good job. Here are my favorite petite retailers: banana republic , macys, topshop, nordstrom and Ann taylor. Abrecrombie and Fitch have a great selection too as well as express.
Thank you! That's a great list...thanks for sharing! xo
@@BusbeeStyle dear Erin, what size of skinny jeans between 26 and 27 would you opt for? For me both seems ok, but still hesitating. Thank you in advance
O
Love your channel. I’ve binge watched all of your videos and have learned SO much! Being 5’2” and hourglass and now 50plus...let’s just say it’s very frustrating to consider all of those things when coming up with my personal style and finding clothes that look good on me. But you have helped me so much. I now have a basic wardrobe capsule and am adding to it as I find things I love. I’ve gotten rid of about 80% of my old clothes. It is so freeing to know which things to buy and which things to leave for someone else to buy. Keep the videos coming!
Thank you! I'm SO glad that my videos are helpful for you! I just love hearing this! xo
One style I (at 5 feet) wear frequently and that I absolutely love is to match the color of my top with either the color of my shoes or socks. I have been complimented many times especially when the accent color is red.
Even though I'm 5'11", this video is helpful in so many ways. Erin is not just about trending fashion, but about TEACHING us how to look at fashion as almost a science. I learned proportions from her and look absolutely amazing thanks to her. Thank you, Erin!
Even though I’m 5’5 I loved these tips. That blue blazer looks amazing on you too!
Thank you SO much, Carrie! That was the goal! xo
I’m 5’5” as well, but not particularly long-legged. These tips are great for me, especially the ankle pants and the shorter jacket! Thank you!💕
same!! thank you, Erin! :)
Erin - what about the shorter woman who is heavier ??? what about the short crop jacket here? Love your recommendations - but $350 jeans -- $500 sneakers...... ???? wow -- off the charts-
If you don't feel comfortable in a cropped jacket, go for the duster look. A third layer of any kind does a great job slimming the frame. This video is more about the tips than the actual product recommendations. I have used my go to pieces from my closet to illustrate the tips...you could find lots of different options at any price point to suit your individual budget. xo
I love how you keep it real Erin! Pulling that bodysuit off to the side is real and honest. So happy I found your channel!💕
Gotta tell the truth! SO glad you found my channel! Welcome! xo
I just found her about a month ago & I love Erin. She knows how to dress! She’s my fashion guru 🤙🏽 💁🏼♀️ 👖 👜 💋
Bodysuits in the seventies had snaps at the crotch. Open the snaps, do your thing, close them. No undressing, no risk of accidents. Have "they" forgotten that?
@@pipmitchell7059 in the 90’s we had snap crotches too. There’s an iconic scene in one of the Absolutely Fabulous episodes which proves it. 😂
@@pipmitchell7059 some, at least, do still include snap closures. I only buy them if they do, though, I loved Erin's tip
Your tips have helped me when selecting new clothes for a cruise. I’m 4’11 and in my 70s. Your tip regarding black high heels with dark trousers was amazing. Thank you.
Thank you for all of these great guidelines. I am also 5’4, short waisted/long legged. I never considered the length of my blazers in this way and your idea of having them land between one’s hip bones and crotch is golden.
You're SO welcome, Tatiana! xo
Great video, Erin!! I’m 4’10” and love the Express petite jeans! So comfy and perfect for my curvy frame!
Thank you Erin!! Keep the videos coming. They are much appreciated!!!❤️
Thank you, Amy! Will do! xo
Erin,
You really rocked that jumpsuit! Loved it on you.
Great video.
Thankyou,
Janet
Thank you so much for being so detailed and straightforward I never miss a video from you you are simply amazing thank you and I love your personality
Thank you so much! You are SO incredibly sweet! xo
Best video about petite dressing ever!!! Thank you so much honey!!!!💕
Great tips Erin! Always look forward to your new videos...packed with such good stuff!! :)
Wow that jumpsuit was jaw-dropping! You look phenomenal!
Good content, Erin! The examples really illustrate your points well!
Thank you, Suzanne! xo
Agree ..
You make me laugh. Everyone goes to the bathroom; so thanks for keeping it real. ❤️
Thank you for these very helpful tips. Being 5'1" makes it difficult to look sophisticated rather than cute.
You are so welcome! Glad you found this helpful, Jeanette! xo
Im 4'8 😬😬😬
Great tips Erin! I'm not petite (5' 8") but like to try to look long and lean. I will definitely incorporate these tips! I love how you wear the long shirt dresses open and drapey! Looks great on you... I must copy! Thank you for all you do!
Thanks for keeping it real on the bodysuit/bathroom sitch- that’s my method too! This is why I love your channel. Don’t let anyone shame you for that!! Much love here from another “real” girl ❤️💕❤️
Thank you SO much! xo
Great video Erin! Your hair, makeup and outfits are all extra on point in this one! 😁❤️
Thank you so much, Jennifer! xo
Excellent tips, as usual, Erin! Always a pleasure to watch your videos, so informative!
Thanks so much, Maria! xo
I REALLY appreciate YOUR presentation skills! Your speech pattern and intonation, a 10!!
Your straightforward transparent and NON-PATRONIZING ATTITUDE and tone of voice, a10!! Just Sooo relieving I actually watched to the end!! Way to go, i look forward to More, THANK YOU!!
Thank you Erin. Great tips. 1/3 rule is a genius!
Glad it was helpful, Ekaterina! xo
Great video! At 5'4" I *finally* learned to pay attention to inseam lengths. I know what length is ideal for me if I'm looking for ankle, full, or cropped length pants. I no longer send pants back due to length!
Perfect! It's SO helpful, especially when shopping online. xo
Thank you Erin. I enjoy watching your videos. I'm a petite woman (5'3", 105lbs, bust size 32C) and I buy most of my clothes from Express and NY&Co. because they have a wide range of sizes. I usually buy 2 or 0 size jeans or dress pants and XS tops. I like Calvin Klein Zara and H&M too because there sizes run small and similar to European sizes which fits me the best.
Love your positive attitude!! And the great info you share to help us all look our best, THANK YOU!!!
You are so welcome, Victoria! xo
You give such fabulous tips Erin! One of my favorite videos of your was when you showed affordable stylish pieces. I purchased one of my favorite jeans and blouse from your recommendation and I believe they came from Walmart! Thanks for all you do ❤️. XO Linda
Yay! Thank you, Linda! xo
I have to say that I love the skinny jean style, because I can just fold up the excess length and the fold stays up. No hemming necessary. You can't do that with flares or wide legs but with skinny or straight legs, it has always worked for me.
So true, Linda! Skinny jeans are so much easier in that way. xo
I’m 5’ and American eagle has jeans that come in short and extra short. Life saver! Tons of options online and affordable. Great video as always!
Thank you...and thanks for sharing! xo
This is one of my faves! All worth repeating....
I loved this, Erin. Thank you! At 5'1" I find it so frustrating to buy "petite" pants that have a 30" inseam. How is that petite?? I am looking at you NYDJ!!
The 30” inseam is needed if you want to wear heels. Manufacturers should always provide both a 28” and 30” inseam so if you wanted, you could buy both inseams for different shoes.
Great tips, they help so much!!! Learning to dress for our height, I'm 5'0 ft tall. No more frustrating shopping moments, now I know what to avoid and steer towards. No wonder I struggled so much. Now its time to put it to a test. Thank you. :)
You are so welcome, Iris! Glad this was helpful! xo
Loved this video. You are spot on! I’m 5’5” with a more mature body now, so am having to adjust. Your tips were great reminders to me of what I have learned over the years. Some of the newer fashions are not to my taste, so I always go back to the classics. Thank you ❤️
Thanks so much for watching, Bev! SO glad you enjoyed this one. xo
Love being on the Joy Train! Thanks for all these tips! I'm 5'2" ~ the petite struggle is real!
You are so welcome! I love having you on the joy train with me! xo
I have short legs and do petite or ankle length in pants and jeans. I have very wide shoulders and super long arms, so I wear regular shirts, blouses, jackets and coats! I am also much bigger at the bust than at the hip which can mean finding dresses or jumpsuits very difficult at times. Thanks for all you great content and recommendations! You are deeply appreciated.
You're SO welcome, Janice! Glad this was helpful! xo
Thank you. As a 76 yr old, losing height is becoming a problem. BUT, as a seamstress by trade , I’m going to take most of my beautiful clothes that don’t fit anymore or need a fashion update . I will bring out that sewing machine and start all my ideas from you and get busy with the alterations. Fun winter projects for me, 👍😘
A measuring tape is the most important item in my closet. Knowing your measurements gives you so much power in making purchases. I'm 5'6" but I need petite tops/dresses and long pants (most of the time). I used to try to balance things out, but I've learned to embrace it!
So true, Jenn! Knowing your measurements saves you so much time. It's SO important! xo
Great video, Erin! You're always so full of nifty tips that that this 5' 50+ adore so much!!!
Thank you SO much! xo
I find it helpful to measure the pant rise on a pair that fits me well with same waist height as what I’m shopping for. Having to order pants online instead of trying on in person, taught me that. Thank you COVID19!
Yes...absolutely! SO important to know which rises you prefer when shopping online. xo
So glad you mentioned the tip of pulling your bodysuit to the side when you need to pee. I have been doing that as well! Nothing gross about that at all. I was struggling with this for the longest time before I knew this and wish someone had told this to me much earlier. It works too when I go swimming and if I am wearing a one piece swimming suit.
The other tip I can think of is wearing darker color clothes.
I have never mastered that "art". . . . helps if you're out in the woods too I'm sure. . . my Grandma used to do this. . . I just CAN't. I don't know how you do it.
You're welcome! No need to hide this fact...most of us do it! xo
I have a system for this! Since I live in Florida and sometimes wear one piece swimsuits. I grab toilet paper first, that’s key. Once you’re armed, yank the crotch way over to one side, kind of across your butt. My hand stays outside of the bowl area. Easy peasy! Freaking out over election results so happy to devote attention to this pressing issue.
@@Piddeaux you have to pull it out from your butt as well, your stream is usually a lot further back than you expect 😂
That seems common to
Do so. Been doing it for years
The first pair of cropped jeans you showed are absolutely perfect.
A welcome video this morning- thank you Erin 💕
You are so welcome, Melody! xo
Hi Erin your videos are never too long. This video is for me. I am only 5'2". I can not wait to start getting out more and trying all your tips. Your videos never ever disappoint! Thanks Beautiful girl.
Thank you SO much RIta! Love having you on the joy train with me! xo
Thank you! I never thought about the body suit but I hate when my shirts bunch up. Definitely going to give this a try :)
Give it a try, Dawn! xo
Love all your outfits!!!
This 5'1 ,53 year old is on your joy train! Thoes Moosey jeans i ordered are the best! I've worn them with 3 different styles of boots. Thank you for helping me feel cute in my clothes 💗 sending big hug from one petite to another 🤗
Yay! SO glad you like them, Traca! xo
Love tip #4. Easy to remember ❤️ Never considered the jumpsuit for my 5’2 frame- thanks for sharing that option! Btw, looking slim! Would love a TA fitness update.
I'm SO glad you found this helpful. Still loving the Tracy Anderson workouts...I've actually started doing some of her more advanced AtTAin workouts! xo
Thanks for the tips, Erin! Interesting comments about the jumpsuit. I also think about going to the ladies room wearing it but it's so true that it does make you look taller and slimmer! And you don't have to worry about matching the top and bottom, very easy to wear
SO glad you found this video helpful, Irene! Thanks for watching. xo
Thank you!! Great information!!
This is one of the best videos I’ve watched. Very informational! A video for all short ladies to watch!
Glad it was helpful, Jacqueline! xo
Love the 3 month baby bump reference!😂 so true and unflattering! Love your on point tips and advice as always Erin❤️
Wonderful video Erin! So helpful. I am 5’5” but my daughter is 5”. I am going to forward this to her! 💕
Glad it was helpful! Thank you for sharing my video with your daughter! xo
Great video. Love watching your ideas. I live in France and look forward to your tips. Thanks Erin
You are so welcome, Barbara! xo
Totally agree with monochromatic!! And of course the jump suit. Not to mention 7/8 th length look. You rock Erin. Thank you
Thank you! xo
Great video with common sense advice. I don’t remember if you mentioned tonal dressing but I swear by it. Find a flattering colour that suits you and wear it head to toe. It’s ultra elongating because the eye doesn’t stop anywhere and it isn’t boring when your accents have texture or subtle shade differences.
Thanks for these fun instructional videos.
Thank you! xo
I am 5’7” , but have a very short torso so can wear petite tops. Weird but often regular size tops are just too long, and petite hits my waist better.
I am so happy you are doing this video Erin!
Thank you! xo
Such great information. Thank you soooo much.
Awesome tips Erin. I'm 6 foot but still enjoyed 👍
Glad you enjoyed it, Patricia! xo
Love ur enthusiasm and love that u r so open minded when u get feedback from ur viewers and the last tip about the inseem length was very helpful... xoxo😍
I'm SO glad you found this helpful! xo
Thanks for the tools Erin, another great video!!!!
You are so welcome, Mariann! xo
Erin, you consistently deliver the best content on CZcams! Thanks!
Wow, thank you, Kimberly! xo
We are “Fun Size”! 😆.....J.Jill has a nice petite section now ! Both in store and on line !
Thank you for sharing, Michelle! xo
Thank you!!!
Bulk Baby! 😂 This 5'2 girl loves & appreciates you! I have to say that being petite & overweight can be VERY challenging! often times the bigger the size the longer the inseam. 😩 I am grateful for the cropped trend right now, it does help. Sending you big love from Lake Tahoe! ❤️
Thank you! xo
So true. I hate that the bigger sized tops are extremely long too! It’s so hard finding plus sized tops and sweaters that don’t go past my butt.
Wow this was great , you rock Erin!!! Thank you, so much. Have a great day.
Thank you, Carrie! You too! xo
Fantastic tips for petites, Erin! I love jumpsuits, and a long sweater or vest is my best friend for disguising my larger thighs.
SO glad you liked this! xo
Me too i usually cut the hem off by my self.. and i works for me ,, sometime i tailored by my self too but mostly i leave it raw hem as fashion ,,,
My tip: USE the size guides, and use a tape measure and MEASURE your body. I've found sizes all over the map online but when I check the size guide, I have nearly always been happy with the fit.
Exactly! Knowing your measurements will save you so much time and money while shopping! I discuss this a bit more in this video: czcams.com/video/DkhHP504rJU/video.html xo
Why haven't I seen this before ....Erin's advice has totally transformed my wardrobe , Thank you x
You're SO welcome, Joanne! xo
Great video! I just tried on my new blazer and it fit the way it should. I will need to watch this several times!!
Your hair looks beautiful!
Thank you SO much! Glad it was helpful, Susan! xo
Loved all of the tips! I have a question what options do I have to look taller with flat shoes? I had knee surgery recently and can't wear heels for a while!
Erin this is the best styling video for petites on CZcams. Thanks so much! Everything you stated is so practical and can apply to us petite girls . I so believe in pulling that bodysuit to the side! Who on this planet has the time to let everything fall to the dirty floor in the bathroom , unsnap the bodysuit , pray that the long part doesn't fall in the toilet then snap everything perfectly back together ( I have snapped it back crooked before) then had to take it all apart only to resnap it again! Thanks forgetting is know that that pulling it to the side makes sense.
Thanks for the styling tips, and yes one could still definitely rock everything on the left side of the screen you are simply telling us to try new ways of elongating her legs , on days we want to look more flattering. Two thumbs up
You're SO welcome! xo
Great tips! I am like 5 3" and they are invaluable!!!
So much funnnnn!! Loved these tips!!! 😍
Glad you enjoyed, Alice! xo
Excellent video. It was a great confirmation of what my mom drilled into me during my less than pulled together fashion days. 5'3.5 is just tall enough for petitte sizes to be too short. Cropped and ankle pants along with 3/4 sleeves are perfect solutions!
Thank you, Deborah! xo
Crotch is a step up from ‘groin’ though 😂 thanks for keep in’ it real, Erin😁
Thanks, Jill! Not sure which is worse! xo
Great video Erin! I will use these tips!
Glad it was helpful, Bonnie! xo
Best Video Ever !!! The side by side pics really clicked for me. Thanks
Thank you, Jodi! That feedback is so valuable to me! xo
Your bodysuit bathroom trick is exactly what I do with one-piece swimsuits. Skooch it over to the side, tuck it under a cheek, knock yourself out ;)
TMI but I peed on my bodysuit as a teenager and never did the ‘tuck’ method again! Rather take it all off than have that happen again. Besides, after kids my ‘stream’ isn’t the same! 😬🤣
Love all these fashion tips! I'm 4'11" and I think I've been doing everything wrong.
That's totally fine, Bobbi! I'm so glad that you found this video helpful! xo
Love your expertise! I just subscribed. Thank you 😊
Great tips. The visuals help tremendously. Ty.
Glad it was helpful, Judy! xo
Great ideo, Erin! I'm 5'6 (not petite) and got a lot of tips! I was diagnosed with MS about 10 years ago and heels are a huge NO for me- and 🥰 I LOVE them! Will look into the wedge sneakers and everything you else mentioned! 😀
I'm SO glad that you found this helpful even though you are not petite...that was my goal. Try the wedge sneaker...they give you just a little lift, while still being comfortable (just remember to size up). xo
Be careful with those wedges! They look cool and feel comfy...but can tip right over easily. A friend broke her leg in them. Another MSer here.
I have an idea for the next topic: How about how to choose purses/ bag to go with particular outfits... esp for petites. For example, what color purse with what outfit? What length/ size for the purse ?
Great suggestion! xo
