I appreciate your videos so much! You’re the only one representing us short torso girls out here and I love that because the struggle is REAL for us! So many styles that look so good but aren’t made for our body types. I’ve always liked skirts but always wondered why they never looked right on me, until I discovered I was short torso’d. Can you do a video on pants?? Not jeans but pants. That’s another I feel we struggle with. Again, thanks for your videos girl!
I recognise so much what you tell without realising is about having a small torso, which I have! I focused to much about horizontal lines to find solutions. My priority will now be the vertical lines!
I just found your channel and I want to cry!!! Shopping is so traumatic for me and while I have been aware for a while that I have a xl chest short torso/ long leg body type- I struggle to understand how to pair clothing items and make outfits that flatter my body. Thank you! Thank you for your content and the immense help you are freely sharing!
I'm 5'3" very short torso & super long legs. Love your videos totally agree with your tips. Have never been able to wear belts, maxi dresses or rompers just never fit right. So really appreciate your tips thanks so much😊
I recently donated about ten skirts because I didn't like how I looked in them. Had I seen this video before I would have kept half of them!!! Your videos for short waisted women are just fantastic. I am short waisted, long legs and a tummy. Show us how to camouflage the tummy, please🤗
I think I asked you to do a video on skirts for short torsos, so thank you for listening. I found it super helpful! Thank you so much for helping out us short torso girls.
I also wanted to mention the concept of low vamp vs high vamp shoes (not sure if you have covered it yet) but at 7:46 you can see you're wearing high vamp shoes on the left which cut off your legs and create the illusion of equal proportions between legs and torso. On the right you're wearing low vamp shoes which leave your legs unbroken and accentuate your long legs which in turn pulls visual emphasis to your torso being shorter than your legs. Just an observation I thought I'd share, I'd always wondered why I gravitated toward boots or high-top converse rather than low-top shoes. I also have a short torso and long legs so I hope this comment came across respectfully enough! Low vamp = flats, slingback heels, pumps, thigh high boots High vamp = sneakers, boots, strappy shoes, chunky heels
Thanks so much! I think a lot of the petite styling videos don't apply to me so much because of my short torso and long legs. So happy to find advice that works for me!
I just found your channel and I've pretty much binged all the short torso videos lol I really like how you don't tell us rules on what to do and talk more in a recommendation kinda way! Thank you for your hard work for us, short torso girls! ❤️
I'm so thankful for your channel! I wore a lot of mini skirts for so long but my torso looked so chopped up and weird and I didn't know why. But your videos are really unique and help me style myself better.
One of the best places I’ve found to get mid to low rise jeans are resale shops like Goodwill and Savers. Also, they’re really worn in, soft, and cheap! Thanks for the video!
Thank you for these videos ! Very useful . Something I noticed as a short waisted person is that short hair ( above the shoulder ) or off the face in a ponytail etc lengthens my torso because hair does not take up space there ! As I have wide hips , I saw also that either the skirts must be elastic or very flowy or with a slit otherwise they hand down very wide from the hip down . To tuck in I found bodices work best to get a streamlined effect with something that is mid rise ( on me ). If I want to really cinch my waist I need to make sure it is in a more monochrome look !
Omg I was just talking about the mini skirt length thing to someone today! They’re always too short on me even though I’m only 5,5”. My legs are just really long so if I wear the skirt at my natural waist it’s too short and my butt will be hanging out. I have to buy mini skirts in tall sizing if it’s offered. I also realized overtime a strategically placed side split works wonders, it adds dimension so I don’t look like a blob. This video confirms I’m not crazy 🤣🤣🤣
Thank you so much for this. I’m 5ft 2.5” tall with very long legs, so I thought that a maxi skirt with high heels would look good on me, but how wrong I was! 🥴 The proportions are terrible. 😆 it looks like I’m only legs and nothing else. So thank you for the tip on colour blocking or breaking up that long line of colour. And yep like you I pull EVERYTHING down or just buy low waisted skirts and trousers. it definitely helps to create more of a defined waist 😊 and that’s a plus.
Hi, I recently discovered you and I'm finding your videos really helpful and well thought out! I know you're not this way, but do you have any styling tips for people who are short-waisted, long-legged, and a little more pear-shaped so the torso looks even smaller? Thank you!
Hooray! Thanks for mentioning it - this is my struggle too. Even then these videos about having a short torso have been so helpful & I realise why I do some of my little adjustments, subconsciously trying to even out my proportions.
Love these videos, it helps me so much! Ive never understood until now why shopping has been such a struggle!! So many great tips! Id love a video on necklaces, what length works for short torso? I have a bunch of different sized necklaces but am not sure what works best.
Thanks so much! I’ve started some that talk about all body types but I’m not sure I’ll do any for one particular body type. I speak so much from experience but I’ll give it some thought!
That’s okay! You don’t have to it you don’t want to 😊 There are times I don’t like a shirt tucked either. Keep experimenting and trying new styles to see if you like them ❤️
Just a comment about "shimmying" down skirts. I have literally never been able to do this. The minute I sit down the waist of the skirt is back under my bust and whenever I stand back up I have to seriously adjust my clothes. I would be adjusting and fiddling with my clothes literally all day, every day trying to maintain that. Maybe that works for women with skinny hips, but certainly not me. I am infertile, but have maternal hips, not adolescent boy hips. I also can't wear sweatshirts, the minute I sit down, they roll/fold up under my bust and I have to adjust them back down too, so I only wear them at home where no one cares.

Aw you’re so welcome! Thanks so much for this comment! 😄💕
My best friend and I have the same length torso. She is 5'1 and I am 5'8. Love the advice!
Thanks Griselde! Happy it helps 😊
My mom and I have the same size torso; she’s 5’7 and I’m 5’10.
I have a balanced body type slightly on the longer side. But your short torso tips work really well to balance my broad shoulders. Thanks!!!! ❤
So thankful for your videos.
Makes it a lot easier when ordering clothes online, knowing what to look for.
You’re so welcome Megan! I’m glad they’ve been helpful ❤️❤️❤️

Skirts are sooo hard! Thanks for this video!

Now I finally understand why I only like certain things and when I try something 'new' it always ends up being donated! lol so helpful!!! xo
I can relate to this! 💖

I can try! I also try to incorporate it into other videos when talking about all body types too. So glad you’re here! Hope you continue to enjoy! 💕
Hooray! Thanks for mentioning it - this is my struggle too. Even then these videos about having a short torso have been so helpful & I realise why I do some of my little adjustments, subconsciously trying to even out my proportions.
Low rise jeans are out of the question.

How about leisurewear skorts? Do we tuck the top in or leave it out?
Your motivation totally inspires me
Thank you!
I'm the opposite, long torso and short legs. Will you be doing videos for other body types? Thanks for your hard work on your channel!
Thanks so much! I’ve started some that talk about all body types but I’m not sure I’ll do any for one particular body type. I speak so much from experience but I’ll give it some thought!
Can you do a workout clothes haul?!
Love that there’s a community of short torso’d peeps that get the struggle!
Yay!! Welcome ❤️ That’s a great suggestion. Adding it to the list!

What about making a video about the aesthetic style for short torso cuz all videos represent a style can fit only girls with long torso
Love this idea! Thanks Lolo 💗
My torso is so short I can’t even tuck
That’s okay! You don’t have to it you don’t want to 😊 There are times I don’t like a shirt tucked either. Keep experimenting and trying new styles to see if you like them ❤️

I'm sorry to hear that hasn't worked for you. I get that though
