    one of my best tips for really short women, and i've had 65 years to perfect it, is to keep your weight down. This is really important if you want to look good in clothes

      I agree 100%. That's the hardest part. After 50, it becomes harder and harder and harder. I believe it becomes 80% diet and only 20% exercise. I'm trying to cut down on the junk food, sugar, highly processed foods and eat more salads, fruits, vegetables and if I can get organic produce, I will. I'm trying to eat more organic chicken and also work on getting a good 8-9 hours of sleep. I know that gets harder once menopause begins, but there's natural remedies for that too. Exercise is becoming more about variety of different exercises and switching it up all the time. I exercise for about 30 minutes Monday-Friday. I do cardio, strength training, HIIT, or high intensity interval training, circuit training, etc. Hope these tips help others.

      Can't you buy trousers with different inside leg lengths. Here we have four different options in normal shops (27'', 29'', 31'' & 33'') and at 1.5m I find the 27'' is ideal for me.

      @@tinkershell1856 That is short and unless you visit a shopping chain like Short or Tall then I don't think most shops, in Ireland at least, would go that short. I find the problem with dresses is that they don't do those in different skirt lengths so maxi dresses are draping on the floor while a midi length is still above my ankles (I wear maxi if I'm not wearing a kurta and trousers/maxi skirt). I've found the solution to that is simply making all my clothes myself, it has the advantage that by judicious application of darts tops fit me - unlike purchased ones which always strain over the bust - and I can taper trousers so that they are a 29" inside leg but don't drag on the ground (this way they don't ride up when sitting down) and skirts/dresses are always the right length.

    Learn to sew! The second-most important life lesson my mother taught me ( number 1 being toilet training) was basic sewing skills. I'm 68 years old and just under 5 feet tall, so I've spent my lifetime shortening sleeves and hems. I've saved a fortune in alterations charges. Hemming sleeves and pants and skirt hems is not difficult, it's just acquiring the necessary measuring and sewing techniques. If you're short, learn to sew!

  • @annalisadeiana1073
    @annalisadeiana1073 3 роки тому +140

    So ok, we are finally talking about real petites! Thank you 😊
    I don’t think we should try to elongate at all costs... we are so obviously very short and there’s no fashion trick that helps that when we’re out in the real world (the one where someone 5’4” of 5’5” is allowed to consider themselves petite).
    Why don’t we focus instead on how to adapt clothes to our shape and proportion?
    - I buy regular crop pants, they’re perfect to be used as normal length ones
    - tunics used as dresses
    - mini skirts as knee length skirts
    - never any dress in regular sizes that has a waist definition (it falls on my hips) and this is actually the biggest issue, not sleeves length nor trousers length
    - shoes are nearly impossible to find, so i often have to go with whatever fits
    Maybe some recommendation on where to shop?
    And what about those of us who are not skinny or have a larger chest?
    I don’t feel like I “have” to wear monochromatic looks (just isn’t me) or pointed toes shoes or skin-matching pieces... I would just feel like my own personality is erased in order to try to look taller, knowing that I never will no matter what.
    Sorry, I know you have the best intention but I disagree with this whole idea that petites want to look taller, we want to wear something that fits us right and compliments our individual features and personality. We want to learn how to overcome the obstacles that force us to wear what fits rather than what we like.

      I never really followed the rules...and now at my age...I don’t care what people think about how I look, I wear what I like. I am put together and wear what I feel like that day, makeup and all..even doing my housework....lol.
      I have three grown daughters , all of who have their fathers height...so they don’t struggle with the clothes they buy. They try their best when they shop with me, you know, to help find petite clothes but hey, if it’s cute then I will buy it. I usually I buy the regular size and alter it. I don’t try to fit into the world around me...I want to stand out..😊.

    @musicandbooklover-p2o Рік тому +1

    I totally agree with much of what you are saying (and it is worse if you are under 1.5m and on the large size) but trousers are ONE item that this doesn't affect - here at least. When you shop for trousers/slacks (pants in the US) they are sold in different leg lengths. 27", 29" regular (31"), and 33" inside leg measurements. And that is in regular shops and supermarkets not just specialist suppliers.
    I have solved the problem and just make everything for myself, much easier to ensure things fit me.

  • @christinaduncan8285
    @christinaduncan8285 3 роки тому +12

    Second comment: I do disagree with your comment about petite clothing not being good for women under 5 feet: At least they come closer, although it might take some looking. When it comes to pants, the rise in the petite pant is better than that on a regular-size pant. The next thing you would need to do is visit a tailor to shape and hem the leg. And let me say quickly that the hassle in all of this is why it is important to have five or six pants, all in the best natural fabrics you can afford! The rule for hemming is this: For every inch in length you remove, you remove one-half inch in leg width at the ankle, a quarter inch on each side. This retains the shape of the leg as originally designed, but of course you can shape the leg any way YOU want -- that is flattering on you. You turn the pant inside out, lay it on a table and draw a line from the crotch, equally on both sides of the pants, down to the points you made at the hem -- and then take that much in at the seams. This rule holds true whatever leg shape you are talking about. All in all, you really offer great tips: I appreciate you!

      I agree about buying petite sizes. My favorite stores from which to buy clothes are Talbot's and Loft because their petite clothes come in very small sizes, such as 00 petite from Loft and extra small petite from Talbots, and they often have them in the store so you can try them on. If they don't, they will order the right size for you. I used to buy petites from Dillard's and Macy's, but it seems that now they don't have much in extra small petites, at least not in the stores so you can try them on.

Some of this I knew already, but there are a few things I'm going to try now - for example, I've always steered away from long dresses and one-pieces, thinking they wouldn't be flattering on me b/c I'm short, but I will definitely give them another try next time I have the opportunity to try some on. I've tried the pointy-toe shoe thing, but this style of shoe is simply not flattering for my body type. I'm a 5' tall hourglass, with fairly broad shoulders for my size and a narrow chest/rib cage but a large bust (for my size). And my calves are on the shapely/muscular side. When you look at me as a whole, the pointy toes make it look like all the curviness comes to a taper at the bottom and it doesn't look very attractive. Wider toe shoes are actually much more flattering. I guess they just balance out my upper half better. I've gotten a good amount of compliments when wearing Crocs, believe it or not. Someone said, "You're one of, like, 5 people in the world whose legs look good in Crocs". LOL. Strangely, people tell me all the time that I'm not short. Every time I go to the doctor's office, I'm measured at 5 feet exactly. However, most people don't believe it unless they measure me. Or sometimes I have them look at me next to other people, some of whom they originally think I'm taller than, at which point they say "Oh. Yeah, I guess you are shorter." I've even had people with a good 10 inches on me stand next to me and tell me I'm not short. Usually when this happens, I try to find a mirror so they can look at us next to each other and then again, it's "Oh." LOL. I do have long legs in relation to my torso, so it must be an optical illusion of some sort.

      Thanks for sharing with me! For the hourglass, best toe shape is rounded toe, or peep-toe, they are more in harmony with your curves.

    Shopping for pants is my worse nightmare,I never own a pants i really like.Giordano do carry good pants for me but it is kinda expensive.
    Most short pants also really long for me.Under my knees!!! I feel cheated when buying pants all the time because the model's pictures look short but they actually 5'5-'5'7

    Ok, those shoes you show (the ones you recommend) are fine if you are under 50 years old. Try being a senior citizen and wearing some of those shoes. My friend's are all retired, don't go out to fancy restaurants etc. and some of my friend's are under 5' 2" (myself included)
    I wish you would show other shoe styles that older short women can wear.
    We also walk to bus stops and sometimes have to stand (not always a bus bench) and you try standing in pointy toe shoes for very long while waiting for a bus. Too uncomfortable. Some of us have tennis shoes (round toe) that have a little wedge or little platform, but no high heels for sure and no pointy toe shoes!!

    Being five foot two having been 5 foot 4 old age I have shrunk in the upper part of my body so my torso is not as long as it used to be I'm very long wasted. The question that I have is what is considered inappropriate above-the-knee for an older woman ? I do have nice legs being an inverted triangle they're short but they're very nicely shaped I do wear City shorts above-the-knee which is nice I'm just curious if in more formal dress if that is still appropriate for a woman to wear a short skirt I don't want to come across like I'm trying to be 16 even though that would be fun LOL
