@@PetiteDressing love your channel 😊 love this about the rouched dresses. Can you please let me know where you purchased your dresses as I cannot find anything similar. I live in London. Keep up the good work 👏
I am 56. How I wish I had had your counsel when I was "blooming" into a busty hourglass as a teen. You would have saved me so much body image misery throughout the years. Hope teens are watching you now. You teach people how to be happy with their bodies!❤ Thank you!
Dear friend, it's never too Late, I am 56 on the way to 57, I have learned a lot , and have changed for a better me. Going flare, getting fotomodell legs 😅 Thankfull I have found this amazing teacher😊
@@gillywoolfson3904 i got a magenta dress but the same design at Macy's back in 2018... sorry i cant help more, but the lady is right that the russian design does amazing things once on
I'm 5'7" (so am not petite) but love your videos because of the way you explain WHY things look better and it makes such total sense! Thanks for these videos!
sorry to be so offtopic but does someone know a trick to get back into an Instagram account..? I was dumb forgot my login password. I would love any assistance you can give me
Great tips. I also have little waist definition. If I need to take in the volume on something oversized, I use a belt the same color as the dress, etc., so that it gives shape to the garment, without overemphasizing the fact that my waist isn’t very trim. Highly contrasting belts only draw unwanted attention to my thick waist, and the low-contrast ones give a nice, classy look to the outfit, so that it doesn’t look over-accessorized if also wearing jewelry or a scarf.
Chi i love the way you show how to dress in elegant or simple way. I am 4'11' but not young anymore as you are but still it's fits of all ages how to dress up! Keep it up. Ur so adorable ❤
I live in a cold climate and am retired. I’ve been following self-made rules for those two parameters so I’m at the bottom of that slippery slope. So glad I found your channel. Time to up my style game! My body type is just like yours but I am uncomfortable in heels.
i bought a pair of high-waist bootleg Spanx dress pants and wow, the difference in the thickness of the fabric is amazing! i've had similar styles of pants before but with thinner material, lower rise as well, and the thinner dress pants now just don't look good on me. the Spanx one, wow! same goes for jeans/denim. the thicker the fabric, the better it looks
Oooh I LOVE those brown pants!! You look great in everything! Thanks so much for these videos! Can never find good fashion videos for petite women. Now I have found my go to girl for advice!
I used to have dresses in t-shirt material that had elasticized waists and full, flowing skirts. They were wonderful. Adding a nice belt made them look amazing. I miss them!
I'm so glad I found you. You are great and your advice is some of the best I've heard. You make it so easy to understand. And you have made me feel ok about my body.
I found the best camouflage for heavy hips and thighs was boot cut jeans. They slim around the knee, which is the thinner portion, and they are the best. Now that I’ve lost a lot of weight, thank you keto which, for some reason made me lose a lot of that hip fat I’ve carried my entire life, I am enjoying the wider leg pants as they look dressy. I’m not sure if keto made me lose the hip weight or that in combination with being post-menopause changed my hormones. I’m finding the weight what little I have left is really clinging to my belly though lol I never had a big belly my whole life I was a “pear” shape
OMG i have been doing it to my turtle neck sweater from years, didnt knoew why it worked, also i was confused if i have hourglass body or pear shaped your other video cleared it for me, amazing❤
that violet dress fits you better, because it has a better (for you) waist line and a type of skirt that "hides" half of your belly. :) so, it`s not so much about fabrics here. but in general, - yes, a bit "thicker" material (than a completely thin one) usually fits better. it`s just some clothing makers economize too much on the quality of materials, and we, poor girlies :), have to pay attention to it.
Thank you so much! I am gonna do all of this!!😅 I am not huge, but I do have a little bit of a belly!! Not saying bigger people are ugly. All bodys are beautiful, remember that!!
Thank you! Many advices are well known for many years. The red dress is actually sliming, if you just wear Spanx under, because of A-shape and two vertical lines. It's the same same shape as a purple one, but purple is more sliming because it's a darker color.
Congrats Chi, excellent video. Your videos are VERY HELPFUL I find you just 3 weeks ago and I learn many things about pettite that I didn't Know I was one of them. However, now that I know it; it make sense why clothing didn't fit right on me most of the time. 🤨 Thanks a lot ⚘
I also like to wear a push-up bra to camouflage my belly, but I am so self conscious. I've had 3 children, and diabetes has caused some weight gain I've been trying to get rid of. The struggle is real.
I wish you were my personal Stylist! You are THE best! Thank you for all the wonderful videos. It made me realize I have been dressing my body type totally wrong for most of my life.
You are so full of terrific information! I'm a 5 ft apple shape with long torso. I struggle to find clothes that fit. Since the low and mid rise jeans have been in style, I've really been missing the higher rise in jeans. I love them!
Chi, do you ever consult for wardrobe revamping or shopping consults? I want to have someone help evaluate my wardrobe to add key missing pieces and create outfits for each season. I'm eager to minimize and simplify!
Loving all the tips. I just discovered the t-shirt fabric fiasco a few days ago. Got a new dress on a beautiful color but felt so shapeless 🥺, never doing that again.
Another Fab video . So agree , Ruching is my favourite designs of all . I look for ruching in dresses and tops . I made a video about ruching . It’s so forgiving .
I think you turorials for us petitte ladies are really super well explained!👌 All so clear! Learned a lot! My thanks for that🤗 I have an hourglass figure and have also seen your tutorial on that... Top! Love many of your clothes, especially love the purple dress! This one looks great on you and think for an hourglass figure this dress will also look great. I do have a question for you. The gray pants with wide legs (at 7.56) of which material is this made? I make clothes, just as a hobby. I like comfortable clothes for myself and the fabric should definitely have some structure and your gray pants have that. May I ask you what fabric these pants are made of? Thank you in advance!! And also many thanx for your wonderful tutorials! 👌👍 Groetjes uit België 😙
can confirm on the russian design dress! i invested in one (magenta) for my brother's wedding, but i didn't know it had a name it is the most expensive dress i have even gotten, but it is totally worth it.
Heyyy loving your videos just watching & taking it all in they are so informative & helpful Can’t stop watching 😂💖 Love your white basic cami just resting exactly where the trousers start. Where is it from?
Hi thank you for telling us what brand your wearing so I,portent as we like your taste in clothes but didn’t know what brand or stores yo go to. Thank you for telling us 👗💃🏾🍰☕️💵
I have a roll above my waist that protrudes further out than my stomach. So some of these ideas challenge the suggestions. Trying to figure out what to wear. I wear alot of tunics, leggings and swing dresses.
Genius tips that every woman who wishes to look smaller should know. When I was younger I was very skinny naturally and I dressed completely differently to how I do now that my metabolism is shot :)
Hi Chi!! I love watching and learning so much from your videos. We’ve moved to a colder climate so I’m trying to keep myself warmer. The V, U, square neck lines all suit me with the cardigan that you’ve mentioned.. the only thing is my neck gets cold 🥶 😂 just wondering what can I do in this instance? Thank you Chi 🙌🙏
For whoever might be reading this, this is what I do. I still wear a V, U and square neck line for my monochrome colored inside clothes. However, after I put my coat on, I tie a winter scarf on my neck and leave the ends hanging down, with one end laying on top of the other. If my coat is open the scarf provides the long column of color but still keeps my neck warm. If my coat is buttoned I leave the top 2 buttons open and make sure the scarf is showing well at the neck. I try to match the color of the scarf to my inside clothes so everything is cohesive. The scarf provides a pop of color near my face and it draws people"s eyes up. My coat is black and my gloves are black with fur around the wrists. I have learned so much from Chi, but I have a lot more to learn. Petite Dressing makes it so easy to learn and very enjoyable.
Wanted to let you know you looked absolutely Exquisite in that purple dress. Your tips are always quite helpful. Got a question the one pair of skinny jeans that have the darling buttons down on the ankle what brand are they they look really nice on your behind. As I've aged I'm 70 I'm losing some of my behind I'm an inverted triangle so I don't have a lot of butt to begin with I'm trying to find jeans that can enhance the shape I do try working out doing my squats and stuff.
Thank you Karla! That jeans was from my store- NYgard slim lux line but don't think they are making petite size any more. Yes squat and walking stairs do help!
HI I AM FROM MALTA,.I have short legs and like highwaisted mid thigh shorts.instead of pointed toe shoe,can i wear wedge sandals?i have problem with bunion.I Am 55yrs old.tyou
Thank you! You don’t have to, apples got shapely legs so you can totally look amazing in jeans and pants too. Do wear tops that has a structure and defines your waist!
Hi Chi amazing video. I like those fussh dresses looks amazing and I like them very much. Silk is my favorite to wear and the skirt is a good choice and better option to go for oh and the silk wrap blouse looks good on you. Thank you Chi for this and have a lovely weekend. Love XO 💖😊

You are so sweet!
Totally, she is scientists. 😘
I prefer navy over black. Also I read if you petite to wear one color ! Also like some of the dresses. Also like your informative video!

Thank you Lisa- I'm soooo glad to hear that!
Sadly, I think most teens just want to follow trends and have no clue about body shapes.
@@charlottesanders3265 You are probably correct. Maybe it could get to them on a subconscious level, though, to help them when they get a bit older?
That’s because we were programmed to hate our bodies in the 80s. It kept us distracted and starving and out of politics.

I love that you jump right in. I hate it when you tubers want to talk endlessly without getting down to it!
I love how you are actually giving good and practical advice that is specific instead of general ideas, it really helps a lot!
i agree about thicker fabrics. i've since avoided getting any piece of clothing with thinner material, including dress pants
I appreciate that you show so many examples of both what to do and what not to do - keep it up!
Thank you Maureen!

Faux wrap styles stay closed better, too, that’s important for us more busty gals.
I like the dress with the ruched design. Will hunt for my size. Thanks for all your videos! 🤗💃
Thank you! Many advices are well known for many years. The red dress is actually sliming, if you just wear Spanx under, because of A-shape and two vertical lines. It's the same same shape as a purple one, but purple is more sliming because it's a darker color.
