I’m 70, five feet tall and slim. I really find your videos to be soooo helpful. Obviously, there are some items I wouldn’t wear…like miniskirts, over the knee boots. But I have always liked classic clothes and that’s your style. You have answered so many of my style questions and you help to keep me from looking outdated. Thank you! ❤
That’s amazing!! I’m so glad to be a helpful source 🥹🥹❤️❤️ I hope you have a wonderful weekend 🥰

Same here! I agree with you. No miniskirts or over the knee boots .
I am 5 foot 2 inches tall and my body is pretty proportionate. But I simply cannot go with the “light” coats. I live in Canada and it’s FREEZING here. Simply not practical. I see young girls run around in the cold every day who are totally underdressed. Believe me, it’s so cold, nobody is looking!
Omg if I lived somewhere where it got that cold, absolutely would not wear these thinner coats. 😂 I HATE being cold. It’s so miserable!!!😂 anytime it hits freezing I whip out my -32 C parka and simply don’t care, just trying to survive 😂
Any time you create a vertical line on top it minimizes your bust. Yes to V necks, and necklaces that create a V.
Also, IMHO longer trousers look better on short people like us. Worn with a pointed toe, they pull the eye in a vertical line. ❤
Petting the cat is always top priority, we’ll happily wait!❤
Love your style and advice
I’m 5’ tall, slim at 89lbs and 80 years old. Please don’t tell my body, it still thinks it’s 50 years old and dresses as such. I wear straight leg jeans, tank tops, white button down shirts, sneakers and ribbed tank tops. I have several blazers in different colors and many cashmere sweaters. My daughter is 50 years old and her body thinks it’s only 30 years old. My biggest problem is finding pants and jeans short enough for my petite inseam. I also wear size 4.5 shoes. So when I find clothes and shoes that fit I usually buy them.
I've never thought about it before but thinner fabrics, yes, layers are fun! I shop thrift pretty much only and limit my wardrobe to natural fiber clothing, adore linen! I love boots too! That kitty is too pretty! Is it a Bengal?
Watching hun❤
Big bust is giving a back pain problem with age, so I downsize it and live happily after, it’s such a big relief after so many years of torture.
Great tips!
thank you!!
Great tips
Rewatching hun❤️💯
Adorable cat!
Elena, we are off almost identical dimensions and coloring. I have so enjoyed watching you grow as a presenter and woman on this channel.
Rewatching hun sending support ❤
You are gorgeous 🤗
Bellissima. Keep up the great work
May I ask what your bust size is for reference? As someone who's also petite with a larger bust and finds them extremely hard to minimize, I never would have assumed you were overly busty. More tips please!
Right now, I’m a 30E ! I think that’s DD or DDD?? I can’t remember, I’m pregnant and they are even larger right now than my normal & keep getting larger too 🙈
@@ElanaKinda aww congrats! I am a 28F (or G when pregnant) so I know the struggles! So happy to have found your channel :)
@@juliacrest5944 yes! The struggle is real 😅😅 and thank you!!🥰
@@erincampbell2901 thank you! It's good to know that there are so many women out there who share the same struggle and found a solution!
I'm petite, and i love your style
thank you!! :)
❤❤❤❤❤❤ your tips works for any age. I have learning a lot from your channel.
I’m so happy to hear that!!🥹🥰 thank you!!!
I’m going to wesr what makes me happy
If it’s cold enough for a wool winter coat, I’ll be wearing it closed up to my chin outdoors. That’s one thing I look for - can it button all the way up? The other thing is fabric: 100% wool, 100% cashmere or a wool/cashmere blend and fully lined with a breathable fabric, not polyester or acetate! Being cold and sweaty is the worst of all and my skin can’t touch synthetics - allergies. Rayon is fine and not expensive, I wish more brands used it for linings. Because Banana Republic does (in most coats and jackets), I bought four winter coats there in the autumn! I had to get them when I saw them, it’s been all-poly for decades and I don’t like unlined winter coats - they don’t cut the wind or have as nice a shape. All those double faced wool coats are oversized and sloppy, plus a smooth lining is essential for donning and doffing. I love your V-neck style coat, but it must have a top closure for me.
Yes, if it’s freezing I don’t care 😆 all coats must be able to close! Usually if I’m going in and outdoors I can wear it open, but winter walks there’s no way it’ll be open 😂 so essentially for me, all coats must be able to close but if weather allows me to wear it open, I prefer that if I can :)
I think the most important thing for us petites is to always tuck in all tops, even sweaters. Or, I buy petite, cropped styles, like Banana Republic’s Luna cashmere Polo sweaters, they’re perfect - V-neck, collar and short length, they just cover my waistband. Our proportions look so much better, and we look more slender and taller, if the entire leg length is shown, up to and including a standard “high-rise” waistband. After that, I agree, an open neckline with a pointed collar is the best! I also love a lowish, but still modest, square-neckline, they look great under blazers, my favorite jacket style. I also wear leather footwear with comfortable 2 to 2.5-inch heels when I can, instead of sneakers, which I only wear if essential for the day’s activities. I’m lucky because I have relatively long legs for my height, and a very short torso. Being petite is challenging, clothes are always too wide at my narrow hips and shoulders, and my head/face, hands and feet are ridiculously small (at least they have some entertainment value, they get laughed at often enough). I love soft, thin, drapey fabrics, too, especially silk, my main wardrobe choice (with Merino/Cashmere over it in winter). Thanks for your great tips, they all help! PS, I don’t think you have a huge bust, I’m about the same, around 34D, and think it’s pretty average, guessing you might be an E, somewhat fuller than me, but I’m older, 63. This bust size just seems bigger, in proportion to our small frames. The bust can get a bit smaller, about 1/2 to 1 cup size, I used to be an E before menopause, tops fit better now!🙂
Yeah! My breasts are bigger right now :) pre pregnancy I was a C cup and I’m currently 14 weeks now and I fit into an E cup now! 😅 they’ll go down after breastfeeding, it’s so interesting, it seems to be after I breast feed each kid, my breasts get smaller! Before I had any kids, they used to be a DDD naturally! So they changed significantly in the past 6 years 🤭😅 they’re going up and down constantly and I have quite the bra collection at this point 😂
Oh I’ve been searching for someone petite with a long torso! I have the exact same body type and it can often be challenging.
for real!! I know the stroll first hand 😅
Hello maam! Nice content! Great day and also nice tips maam! ❤
Great tips, we’re the same except I have small breast. 🤩💛
Hi! I’m also 5’1 with a long torso and short legs and the hardest thing for me to find is one piece bathing suits! They all seem like they are made for short torsos. Just a suggestion if you ever want to film a video on petite long torso one pieces I would be so grateful! 😂
OMG!! I struggle SO much with this! They always give me a Wedgie 🤣🤣
Same girl, same lol
LOL, I'm 5' with a short torso, and I would swear bathing suits are all made for long-torso women. I always have to shorten the crotch to make them come even close to fitting. Often I just wear shorts over my suit to feel comfortably covered.
IDK if you have issues with brand names, but Lands End catalogue co. makes one-piece swimsuits with options for long torso. It’s the only brand I can wear, with my long torso and short everywhere else. You have to read closely in the descriptions/fine print on sizing, but they do have a lot.
I'm sorry, but I will never stop being annoyed at the unbuttoned coat. I am wearing long oversized wool coat not only because of fashion, but because it's cold af, I need layers AND I need thick outer layer to protect me from wind, snow, fire-and-necrotic-damage-tornados, you name it. Why even wear a coat if you can unbutton it?
Lol yes!! I can’t remember if I mentioned that in the video but if it’s winter version of hell outside I don’t care at all either 😂 I’m just trying to survive winter 💀💀💀 but if i can , I love wearing it open! 😊
I'm 5' 1", short legs, short torso and well..the opposite of what you said you are on top. I have narrow shoulders, small from neck to waist, but pear shaped from the waist down
Do you think prints (if they are small prints, florals) are ok to wear on blouses and jackets? I never wear floral prints on pants but do like them on tops, jackets.
So for blouses and tops I wear petite size but pants I have to wear 10 or 12 these days. I am a senior citizen.
I wear a size 6 in sneakers and do love the platform/wedge kind.
I know the wedge sneakers come in various heights and styles.
What height of wedge do you think is appropriate?
❤❤❤
I am 70 years old, 4 foot 11 and very petite with large breast. I love your styles. I love the outfits that you put together and the links to shop. Thank you so much and congratulations on baby number three.🎉😊
thank you so so much!! 🥰🥰 Such a sweet comment 🥰
I didn’t realize you had a big bust lol! I do too, so I was excited to look up your other videos about it. My issue is that open necked tops always show too much cleavage! And if I lean forward or bend down, everyone can see all the way down my front. How do you avoid this?
Same here! I have quite a collection of half shirts that I wear under open neck shirts. They are thin, don't add bulk, and I think the layered look is cute. My favorites are called demi Ts from Downeast Outfitters.
Thanks for the reco, those are cute!
Love your advice 💕 I am 5 foot 1.5, usually wear size S/M and wear a D cup. So we are very close in body type! Buut im a short torso girlie 😪 Pants are soo hard for me
👆THIS, I can relate to. Pants or ANY botoms I find very difficult. High waisted totally deletes my small torso. Low rise creates muffin top....what can ya do??? I find midrise my best compromise, but still NOT great.
I always enjoy watching your videos and find your tips handy. I am super petite. I am 1,50 and it's very hard for me to find something stylish. Congratulations on your pregnancy 😚 Greetings from Poland!
I’m 5 1 also but I do wear my coat closed when it’s cold
Heel height should be proportionate to your shoe size. Petites generally have small feet and look fabulous in flats or low heels. Size 9 - 10 feet look fabulous in 4" or more heels. I am 5' with size 7 - 7 1/2 feet, so I try to wear a 2" heel because it makes the foot look smaller. I also like boots and boot-cut jeans because the jeans hide the foot, allowing only the toe to show, which also minimizes the size of the foot.
You shared some fire tips!! Wow!! Thank you!!🫡 well said 😍👏🏻👏🏻

I so enjoy your videos which have really educated me on how to dress . I fell in love with the camel-colored coat from Goelia so I ordered it. Unfortunately, they claim to not find my order. I never got an order number nor confirmation of order in my email but my credit card was charged almost 200 dollars. I hope this doesn't happen to any other of your viewers.
Im 5 ft,and have a terrible time finding jeans that are the right length. Cant afford 100 dollar jeans.
Check Abercrombie!! They run sales very often and you can score their jeans usually around $70 if it’s on sale! 😊 this is my favorite style from them!

They have short and extra short inseam options :)
YOUR BUST DOESN'T LOOK BIG!!!
THANKS FOR THE GREAT TIPS!!!!
Such ab dollx
Wait what ? I thought you were always 5’0 five feet zero ? Like me 🤷♀️ didn’t you use to say that …
I grew an inch after I gave birth to my second kid! Lol 😂
I think YT deleted any comment that mentions the I G handle....i think you should reply to the winner before annoucing the winner first and ask them for their IG afterwards or any soc media
