I'm new to your channel but I find you so exciting to watch and learn. I'm 5ft 2in. and 71 yrs. old and you gave me new ways to fix my jeans and tops we may be seniors but we still can look great Thank you
FINALLY!!!!! Video's for Petites!! There are SO many of us out here struggling with clothes shopping. I am 57 now and find it getting even harder. Thanks so much 😊
I'm 5ft 2in. One of the biggest TIP/HACK for me is to try my best to learn how to cut/fix and modify clothes by myself or at least have your trusted tailor. Because, correct sizing does matter.
Is anyone else mesmerized by this sweet, bubbly young person? She is so down to earth and good natured and inclusive. I am old but I AM petite so even I learned some tips from her. 😊
Here are a couple of things that work for me, vneck tops are more flattering than crewneck. Pulling up your sleeve and showing your wrist is very flattering and sexy and it adds length.
Would you ever consider doing a video giving your tips on how you do your online shopping? You said that is the main way that you do your shopping and I would love to watch a video about that. Like what you look for with the clothes that you pick out and how you know if it will look good on you
omg!! funny how you ask that! I actually plan to have that exact type of video posted this month! I'll be going over what I look for when I'm searching for clothing + what I try to avoid! Can't wait to share!!!
I am 5'2. When buying leggings if you buy the 7/8 leggings they are petite friendly. I also know the hack about shopping in the kids section for shoes. I also loved this video.
Elana , Thank you so much for your information for all of us petites. I am 78 and before when I was young it was hard for people that are short. Keep it up for the petites. Thanks
Wow! I am 4 foot 3 yeah I know the feeling especially when you go to a department store to want to try a pair of jeans and all at once you want to try on the size then the ones who work at the stores won’t help measure your waist just to see what size you wear which that is frustrating
Love your channel! It’s refreshing to see more options from other petite women! One of my favorite short girl hacks is buying 7/8 leggings and they fit perfectly full length for me! No rolling up needed. 4’11 over here :) keep up the great work!
Thank you for your suggestions. Being 5´0 with 38D on top presents a challenge. Currently looking for jeans and it is frustrating! I will check the stores you suggested. ❤
I’m 5ft as well and here in Australia we have a brand called MARCS very petite friendly. Have a look online. A lot of their fabrics are cotton, silk and wool.
Oh yes! Finally a video for petites that doesn't push high waisted jeans onto everyone 😃 I have a short waist and big boobs and if my jeans are high rise it just looks ridiculous 😳 I prefer midrise so I actually have that definition between my tops and bottoms. Way more flattering 😊
I can relate...I am 65, 4"11" and wear shoe sizes 3 or 4. I am always in the children's section for shoes. Thank goodness they have come a long way since I was younger.
Thank you for sharing. I’m 4’11. I was searching for jeans petites hack and here I am in your channel watching all your videos. It’s really really helpful.
Great video. ❤ I am 5’3.5” and I am a size 14, full bust and short waisted with long legs. I can get away with cropped pants as they balance my proportions. I have 4 pair of nicer cropped pants and two casual. I also wear boot cut and flare jeans these are usually my preference as they accentuate my legs. I also wear open neckline tops. My shoulders are soft so I buy drop shoulders tops or collared shirts. I also stay away from puff sleeves. I can only wear a very slight puff. I don’t wear heels but I do wear lug sole boots & loafers for comfort and I prefer the style. I get jeans hemmed by a tailor because I like a more finished bottom on my jeans in case I dress them up a bit. I wear knee length, ankle length and mid calf length dresses because I do have longer legs and I always try to buy a dress with an open neckline and simple colors. I only wear stripes. No florals or big prints. Lots of solid colors. I like the cotton shirts from Everlane. The cotton is thick and the style is not so cropped that they are showing your stuff. I too love a waistline right at the belly button, too high is not my thing and I need some room since I’m short waisted. I find bras at Torrid, I find petite items at Chico’s and Talbots. I usually only look for petite jackets if they are a fitted look so the waist hits at the right area as long as the sleeve is not too short. Chico’s also has Chico’s off the rack-online and in outlets. I wear their jeans. They are soft and comfortable and they come in basic styles. I also like Torrid jeans, the denim is soft and comfortable. I also love banana republic factory. I find sweaters, & dresses there all the time and very affordable & stylish. ❤ 😊
Ooh, how refreshing - 5ft 3" here, I hate high waist, feel lost Tip: bootcut jeans, cut hem off with at least an inch extra material. Now trim jeans to the exact length you want - now add the hem back on, need a sewing machine for this, sew super close to original seam - this way you haven't lost original hem but have shortened them - hope this helps. I clicked the subscribe button so I'll get to see more of your tips X
Thanks Elana. I just subscribed. Here's a TIP: I frequently buy jeans in Target's Kid Department. Sizes run up to 16 (based basically on the child's age). Size 14 fits me perfectly. However, styles do vary and I don't think I would ever order online. Saves a ton of money compared to what jeans cost elsewhere and I love the inner gizmo that allows you to adjust the waist size. Looking forward to checking out more of your videos. Thanks again.
Great video, I am also 5 zero and over the years I have been struggling to find good jeans, sleeves are all very long on me and not all stores are petite friendly, it's try, try, try...thanks for a great video.
i am exactly like u but with few years older hahaha, but now is that I am discovering that I am petite and how to dress up thanks to you!!!! thank u so much!!!
I'm 4'11", my inseam is 24" and I'm bottom heavy with big thighs. I LOVE Eddie Bauer Boyfriend jeans! They always fit whether I'm a size 6 to 12. Currently I'm in my 12's, I have 6 pair of EB in rotation, all are boyfriend, relaxed petite or cropped and while they all fit different as far as length, waist size, leg width, etc. Somehow they still all manage to fit and look good!! I buy them as well as most all my clothes exclusively on sites like poshmark and mercari so they cost a fraction of retail prices.
I often buy children's jeans. Depending on the brand they fit well. The inseam is ok and the waist fits as well. I am 4'11 and normally a size 5. Thank you for this blog.
I am 5" and wear an L/XL right now. It's so hard to find close that looks good. I know this is an older video, but the first one I found of yours. I subscribed and look forward to your newer ones ❤
I'm exactly ur size. Went from a 0/2 to a L/XL due to meds. Unfort L's r often too small & XL'S too big so nothing fits quite right. Imo, I often look dumpy & then I buy more & more clothes hopIng something will finally fit me right.
Hi, thanks for the video! For those of us with small feet, Cinderella of Boston and Chinese Laundry has smaller sizes. Macy's usually has access to size 5's too. They don't always have them in stock but at least you can order them. Just thought I'd throw out some brands for shoes.
Omg, you saved my wallet and helped me buy with confidence as a petite. I can’t thank you enough. I am going to cut my jeans that ankle scrunch that I never wear.
Most jeans have Lycra in them for a little stretch. When you dry them in the dryer it wrecks the Lycra. They look good when you first put them on but when you bend, sit and flex your knees they invariable “bag out.” Line dry overnight.
I agree with the high rise! I’m also 5’0 and the highest I want jeans is also my belly button. If not I have no torso. 😂 I’m a bigger size than you by quite a bit but that rise is key for me!
Awesome tips! Thank you for your sharing and petit-friendly brand recommendations! I'm in your size and every bottom items seem a little too long on me. Now, I'm having more confidences on jeans shopping.
Thanks for that tip of cutting the jeans. I just usually go to the tailor and it cost me a lot so this time I bought this jeans and measured like what you showed and they are perfect!
I found out that wearing a long relaxed or wide legs denim with platform shoes gave such a nice look it makes my legs look taller and it just makes everything looks so much better, I no longer hem my jeans anymore I just wear them with nude platform boots or sandals depending on the season lol
I buy my shoes from "Pretty Small Shoes" in the UK. A bit expensive, but worth it. Another option where I find my shoes are vintage shoes which feature my size or 4B. The US has nothing in my size. J. Crew sometimes has my size of 000 Petite or a OO Petite which runs small. I am not only Petite, but very slim. I have subscribed to your channel. At 74, I know what flatters me. You have mentioned many of my tricks! Size 5 sneakers are quite nice for me in Ladies. I have a high arch, childrens shoes do not, and they are too wide. My denim pants are a size 12 slim, children's over 20 years old. They are straight leg. I shall try some of the brands mentioned. Appreciate the tips!
5ft1" here 🙋♀️ Aeropostale is also petite friendly, they have short-length jeans, 25" inseam. And if u lucky and still happen to have a JCPenney around, the Arizona jeans from the juniors section are a very good option as well :)
I just bought youth Nike sneakers that were $15.00 cheaper than the adult shoes! I get leggings that are 7/8 length and they work great for me since they reach exactly to my ankle bone. I don’t like cropped tops all that much because they are a bit boxy on me. I am a bit on the longer torso side.
Great tips! Thank you for your video! I’m 5’1”, 133 lbs with small boobs. I was having difficulty finding the correct bra size. 36A cup size was right but the rest of the bra was too tight and 38B was way too big. I bought a 2-hook bra extender from Amazon now 36A bras fit perfectly! I feel like the Fashion Industry left out a majority of us when they switched to high-waisted straight leg and boot cut jeans. Skinny miid-rise are so hard to find. I finally found jeans that fit! Levi 311 jeans size 4 except I’m going to need to add elastic to the waist because they stretch out after one day.
I always check the childrens section at Nordstrom. They are wider and the heels are slightly lower ( something I need at 62) ! I have found super cute fancy shoes from Steve Madden and other designers in the kids section. Size 4 is indeed my normal size 6 😉
I keep my measurements on hand and a soft tape measurer in my purse. When I go to thrift store or resale shop, I can know if something will fit or not.
Omg I just found your channel. This is the very 1st video I saw already a fan subscriber. Girl, don't feel bad. I am barely 4'11, and I like to say I am 5'0 even 😂 just so I feel a little better about my height.
Aritzia is also good for petites. Thank you. I’m 4’10 and have been trying to pair cropped pants with ankle boots. Trying to figure out where best to have the hem hit.
Thanks Elana. All of your videos have been helpful to me. I think I'm 4'11" and I love fashion. I cut a lot of jeans hems.😆 There's more options for petites than I thought. ASOS, LOFT, and sometimes Macy's are my favorites. I buy 7/8 length leggings when I can. I'd try the Short Story box if I could live at home all year. I live cross country right now to help a parent.
Elana you are also bless to be a petite woman many wardrobe fits fabulous on petite woman look at kourtney kardashian she’s 5. “ and she looks stunning 👌
Love your videos! I too am 5'0 and petite size pants are still too long for me.I think the manufacturers are doing this on purpose😢 Same with footware.I am a size 5-51/2 , try finding a nice pair of heels in that size! Good luck!! I get so frtstrated and sometimes angry that I can'f find footwear! Some size 6 will fit if they are made small but no heels.Keep in doing what you're doing, it helps me feel a nit better. 😊
Don’t be afraid. Try it on a pair that maybe you don’t love or is on its way out. At 4’9’’, it is a game changer for me. If you’re scared, cut them a little longer than you think and you can always cut more.
Another tip: Reg skirt pull it up past chest almost to your neck.... ~ Cute sundress Sometimes I add scarf or sweater I've even thrown on a balero.. to change it up
Pants are less of an issue for me than tops are. For me, being petite is more than about height. My sister and I are both 5’ 2”, but she can wear regular tops and I can’t. Regular sizes don’t fit me on shoulder width, arm length and also the underarm seam.
So helpful! Just FYI “Offline by Aerie” you can get leggings in the shortest length (online only) and they are the perfect length for 5’0 girlies like us! No need to fold them up! 😊
You are adorable, I am a petite senior but your advice really helps me as well.💕
I'm new to your channel but I find you so exciting to watch and learn. I'm 5ft 2in. and 71 yrs. old and you gave me new ways to fix my jeans and tops we may be seniors but we still can look great

I’m 4’11” and I wish I could alter my own clothing. It’s not easy to find someone to do alterations these days.

YESSS WE LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!
ahh you're so kind!! thank you so much for your support!🥰❤️
5ft1" here 🙋♀️
Aeropostale is also petite friendly, they have short-length jeans, 25" inseam.
And if u lucky and still happen to have a JCPenney around, the Arizona jeans from the juniors section are a very good option as well :)
25" inseam wow I'm a 24" but I'll be happy with a 25" inseam
I have just stumbled across your channel and being 5 foot 2 myself, already learned a few good tips from you 😊 You’ve got a new subscriber ❤ ❤❤
I forgot about the tip for children shoes. That was a great reminder. This is create for sneakers.
Omg, so many great ideas....thank you!!!
I just bought youth Nike sneakers that were $15.00 cheaper than the adult shoes! I get leggings that are 7/8 length and they work great for me since they reach exactly to my ankle bone. I don’t like cropped tops all that much because they are a bit boxy on me. I am a bit on the longer torso side.
I'm 4'11.5" ;) thank you for an amazing video!
I bought kids size 4 shoes yesterday. I also buy t shirts in kids section. I'm 5ft 0 too :-)
I'm 4'11", 95 lbs. Thanks for doing this. My shoes are size 3 1/2 to 4 in women's. Nordstrom carries sz 3 1/2 or 4 in women's shoes.
Great tips! Thank you for your video! I’m 5’1”, 133 lbs with small boobs. I was having difficulty finding the correct bra size. 36A cup size was right but the rest of the bra was too tight and 38B was way too big. I bought a 2-hook bra extender from Amazon now 36A bras fit perfectly! I feel like the Fashion Industry left out a majority of us when they switched to high-waisted straight leg and boot cut jeans. Skinny miid-rise are so hard to find. I finally found jeans that fit! Levi 311 jeans size 4 except I’m going to need to add elastic to the waist because they stretch out after one day.
Thank you so much for your videos, really helpful 😊 because I'm also 5'0
I wish I knew all this years ago! Thank you so much
There is also Petite/Short option on some brands. Look at the inner tag.
I always check the childrens section at Nordstrom. They are wider and the heels are slightly lower ( something I need at 62) ! I have found super cute fancy shoes from Steve Madden and other designers in the kids section. Size 4 is indeed my normal size 6 😉
Cutting demo was SUPER helpful-
yay! so happy it was helpful!
I keep my measurements on hand and a soft tape measurer in my purse. When I go to thrift store or resale shop, I can know if something will fit or not.
Great video! Thank you!
Maurices also has short and x-short jeans. I'm 4'9 always had trouble finding jeans. Great video!
Omg I just found your channel. This is the very 1st video I saw already a fan subscriber.
Girl, don't feel bad. I am barely 4'11, and I like to say I am 5'0 even 😂 just so I feel a little better about my height.
SAME !!!! 😂
Thank you so much🥰
You are godsend ! Just perfect explanation🥰
Aritzia is also good for petites. Thank you. I’m 4’10 and have been trying to pair cropped pants with ankle boots. Trying to figure out where best to have the hem hit.
no way!! I'll check them out!
I'm also 4'10" and have had the same question regarding ankle boots. Good things come in small packages! 😊
Thanks Elana. All of your videos have been helpful to me. I think I'm 4'11" and I love fashion. I cut a lot of jeans hems.😆 There's more options for petites than I thought. ASOS, LOFT, and sometimes Macy's are my favorites. I buy 7/8 length leggings when I can. I'd try the Short Story box if I could live at home all year. I live cross country right now to help a parent.
Im 4' 10 supposedly. Visit doc they change my height up. I'm tired they don't stick to one height I was 4'8",4'9",4'10" but what's your inseam?
I recently found you.

Love your videos! I too am 5'0 and petite size pants are still too long for me.I think the manufacturers are doing this on purpose😢 Same with footware.I am a size 5-51/2 , try finding a nice pair of heels in that size! Good luck!! I get so frtstrated and sometimes angry that I can'f find footwear! Some size 6 will fit if they are made small but no heels.Keep in doing what you're doing, it helps me feel a nit better. 😊
Thank you, your viedos are very helpful!
Glad you like them! :)
I need tips for petite clothing for 60 yr.old but wear jeans always
I was wondering how you cut your jeans. I'm so scared of cutting my jeans lol Thanks for sharing.
Don’t be afraid. Try it on a pair that maybe you don’t love or is on its way out. At 4’9’’, it is a game changer for me. If you’re scared, cut them a little longer than you think and you can always cut more.
Thank you! 😊
Very petite new subscriber here. Dorothy Perkins and Marks and Spencer do have a petite section for us petites who live in the EU zone.
Another tip:
Reg skirt pull it up past chest almost to your neck....
~ Cute sundress
Sometimes I add scarf or sweater
I've even thrown on a balero.. to change it up
Cool white shoes I have a cool suggestion for you.
Hi Elana. You have such a classy beautiful style. Are there any good quality leggings out there for petite that dont cost a fortune? Thanks 🥰
Great petite tips!
Pants are less of an issue for me than tops are. For me, being petite is more than about height. My sister and I are both 5’ 2”, but she can wear regular tops and I can’t. Regular sizes don’t fit me on shoulder width, arm length and also the underarm seam.
Thank you 😊
So helpful! Just FYI “Offline by Aerie” you can get leggings in the shortest length (online only) and they are the perfect length for 5’0 girlies like us! No need to fold them up! 😊
