Fantastic tips - I struggled with blazers for years and just recently found fantastic cropped ones with a single button, at Zara. If you find a great blazer at the right length grab one because the stores will be full of long oversized blazers that are trending now

@hakimahussaini4907 3 года назад

To all my beautiful petite ladies, if you're short its not a disaster, please don't self sabotage yourself, its even cute and girly to be short , there are lots of tall and handsome guys who prefer short girls with petite sizing. Regardless of your height always remember we are all beautiful and worthy of love and respect no matter how short or tall we are. Our inherent worth doesn't change with our external standards of beauty our size. Never let anyone disrespect or disdain your self worth.

@rosactaylor 2 года назад

Agree but it's good to know that what we wear suits our size.

@nat-1272 2 года назад

@jonmartindeiii962 Год назад

@epoustouflee5997 3 года назад

Another fun and informative video! I’m glad you included the longer blazer. I prefer them even though I’m only 5’0 and technically they’re less flattering; they’re cooler and more modern where I live (France) than the shorter, more fitted ones.

Love your videos. I learned so much from watching them. Big fan of all the examples you use; both of what works and what doesn't. Also love the explanations you give for why something is good or bad. I have your voice in my head when I shop now: "watch out for horizontal lines" 😃 English is not my first language so I love it when you do not have background music on your videos. It makes it easier for me to understand.

You are the best with "petite" dressing! That proportion video was definitely a game changer for me. I have exchange my long tops for crop tops and wow, never look that good on me. This blazer is also really great. I always want to wear blazers but couldn't figure it out why it didn't suit me. Thought because I look too young for my age, but it was the... proportion again. Keep up the good work with your videos! ^^

@Kindness808 2 года назад

I have a question. I'm shopping for blazers and I understand your suggestions about the best lengths. I was wondering if you have any thoughts about the bottom cut of the blazer. So, I see ones where the bottom is very blunt and others where the two bottom sides of the front of the jacket are curved if that makes since. Gives a softer line at the bottom. I was just wondering if the shape of the bottom might have a baring on the appearance of height of sliminess and what you might suggest? Thank you.

@merrywalsh2809 2 года назад

To keep blazer sleeves pushed up, try putting some sort of elastic band over the sleeve, tuck and hide the elastic. Don’t cut off your circulation, obviously!

@saramm3765 3 года назад

I don't understand why anything is sized specific to someone 5'4" when those people only need an inch heel to be average! Why aren't all petites sized at the average between our tiny crew like at 5'2"?? There is a company right now making "extra short inseams" that are 27" and I'm not sure how that is considered extra short and not just their short inseam option.

If sleeves have no detail, you can roll it up but roll them inside instead of outside. I do this to all my jackets, blazers or coat

Chi advised shorter ladies to try to-ankle-length maxi & I’ve just ordered a floral one with a V-neckline, again, following her advice on the merits of the V-neckline. But I now wonder what blazer can possibly go with a V-neckline dress?! Any ideas, anyone?

@kimberlyperrotis8962 3 года назад

I have a tough time finding blazers that will fit my narrow, petite frame. Everything is too long, and huge in the shoulders. Plus, I want high quality, good brands like The Curated don’t make petites. I won’t buy any of those huge, oversized, super-long blazers that are on offer now, but wait until classic fit ones return.

@PetiteDressing 3 года назад

Very true, only several brands make petite size blazers.

Great tips as usual! I am also petite at 5’2” but I have a shorter torso relative to my legs which are pretty long for my height. My inseam is 27. Although we have different proportions i find your advice wonderful in general! I am also a bit busty for a size 2-4 so I get blazers from the regular section sometimes because I dont like tops too short and get the sleeves taken up. Where are those cute white booties from please? I’m also looking for a nude bootie like that. Thanks Chi! Keep the vids coming. I love all of them!

Thank you, dear. I love, love, love blazers and have many. But styling them for non-suit/non-office settings has been challenging on my 5'2 body with a large bust. 🙄 Also, I live in northern US and am always cold. Wearing a blazer helps me stay comfortable all day and adjust to the temp. In winter I wear it all day, but in summer, I take on/off depending on how hot it is outside and how cold the AC is indoors. You've given me some great ideas. Can't wait to break out the blazers again for casual days. Thank you. Cheers! 😇

Dear Chi, congrats, great video and as usual, just on time for me. Since last year, I lost 50 pounds😄, so nothing in my wardrobe fit me anymore. That's one of the sad consequences of lossing weight😞 Unluckily, I've tried countless numbers of blazers. However, yesterday I found a pettite black blazer that fit me "good;" but, (there is always a but) it has no lining. The lacking of lining is its only con; but it look great on me. That's my only doubt about this blazer. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Yes, a not too longer blazer would looks much better in petitte ladies. Many thanks⚘

I always tailor long sleeves and I’ve had most of my jackets for 20 years. It’s so worth it. For blouses, and I’m doing one right now, I put a wide elastic at the bottom of the sleeve so it’s easy to pull up and keep up. Soft printed fabric works best. I can’t sew so I always look for the easiest way. BTW your channel is fantastic.

@clementineclement5757 3 года назад

i would say that the worst-looking fashion faux-pas on us petites are too long sleeves ( on any type of garment, dress, shirts, etc). . To be avoided at any cost because not only does it spoil all the chic of an otherwise lovely and elegant blazer, but it also carries along a kind of "waif", poor, raggy atmosphere. Like a hand-over from your elder sis. You were so right to mention it, congratulations.

Get to know your tailor, they can do wonders to make minor adjustments to most of your off the rack garments. Better still, when buying a new piece of clothing article, make sure it fits you as close as possible, if not, pass on it.
