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.

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.

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.

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! 😇

@artistforlife 2 жыл бұрын

You are so right about the long sleeves! I have blazers I love but the sleeves are almost always too long - I am cheap so I always check that they will look good rolled up before I buy them. It's always nice when the inside of the sleeve is well finished so I have options.

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! ^^

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!

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.
