I wish i can have this outfit . 🥺
What's your height mam
She has O shaped legs, if she can keep her knees together her legs would look much straighter and better
you r so beautifulll you'll look nice in everything 😊😊
Great video !!! Keep going !! 👍
ok but her voice and the way she talks is just so soothing 😌 this is not just helpful but also relaxing
yes! and the audio quality is great :D
Esvenia she also does not use speech fillers. She speaks slowly and takes pauses rather than using ‘like’, ‘you know’ and ‘um’.
also like her camera set up and the colors of her home are so soothing too haha!
True😘
Agree! I love her accent.
I dunno why we used to wear low waisted pants in 2000 to 2010 era....i swear i will never go back to those pants again lol
High waist pants don’t work very well with short waisted women.
What.. I dont even have any low waisted jeans. The "trend" came in 2015 or something
Cece Love it was huge around 2000 and for a few years on as well ☺️
@@cecelove5173 how old are you? Lol check out the Britney Spears video "im not a girl not yet a woman" that was the high point of low cut jeans for sure. So early 2000's
me neither!! so horrible when you see it in some old movies or photos 😂
how did youtube know my body shape? this is the best recommendation ever! i am 5'2, pear-shaped, with a long torso, wide hips and thick legs. i subscribed immediately!
Me too!
Me too
it’s so lovely to see someone else with my very interesting body shape!! 😭😭
Me too!
Same here 😭
I'm 4'11 and also pear-shaped, and some of your tips here I had tried applying already and it did wonders to how I look overall and also made me very confident in my body. So thank you so much for sharing these awesome tips!
Omg same, and honestly my current outfits does not make my body type look flattering at all. I would love to know where you buy your clothes as a short person since I never find any clothes that fit my body at all.
I m also the same woww
my "rules" are really : tuck in everything, everything highwaisted, cinch the waist always. I don't really like mini skirts/dresses but I find midi/maxi lenghts are quite flattering as well if it is a quality garment. Also I found out than vintage clothes are often better tailored, like I made pants from a 1930s pattern and the fit is very flattering for me as a short girl (I am 161cm) :D
Funny... Lately, I have been thinking, fashion back in 1950/60's were really designed for the petite prefered look, probably why such style of clothes fit our image so much smoother. I was on a pant hunt for 2 years, no joke... All pants legs are too long, or the waist too big. Even smallest sizes don't fit my proportions and I'm not weirdly shaped. I found people with the same body finding the same problems. But I found these perfect ankle length flared skinny denim, both white and blue and my god I have been in love with them. But I have a hard time finding midi skirts as a 156cm, any tips? Is tailoring it worth it?
Same here! One to add tho: add a belt to all maxi and midi dresses, so that a dress is actually wearable and not too long (157 cm) :D
I have your height and I try also to tuck in everything but I still find it a little scary /new.
@@rosievriesinga5904 you will get used to it don't worry !!
the vintage thing is true! I love 60s style dresses! they look so flattering
I wish there was a person like you on the internet talking about a short torso body type! Your style and videos are so soothing and timeless.
I may have some plans in the works for this is the future!
I'm 4'11" with a short torso
So true! I am still trying to find a KZhead that has the same body shape as me!
You are absolutely correct! She’s a modern teacher who’s with a lot of stars around her full of body language. What are the stars????? Fashion, story, laugh, kind, intelligent,
I agree too.. I am 4.11, short torso, apple shape...
What I like about her videos is, it's not boring. The transition is fast so I can get so many infos in just a couple of secs.
Imagine being 5.1 feet with a flat chest,I literally look like a child 😭😭
I feel ya! 😂
@@mitchymorillo3711 sending hugs to you🤗🤗
Sameee lol
Same😒
Same
The problem of wearing a high waisted pants, is my bulging belly lol.
Yeah we aren't all as cute and adorable as her 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
It is a concern of mine too. So I want a slightly flowy top, but a little goes a long way. I'm 5'3" and are bless in the chest and booty.
Same, friend.
Same 🥺
Hahahaha same here
I loved the fact that you illustrated every tip that you gave us with real dressing and not just words ! Thank you and you got yourself one more subscriber 😊
same here!
I unknowingly do most of these things that I keep on saying "exactly" lol! And I will try to apply the other tips that I haven't tried before. Thanks for these!
I KNOW RIGHT!?! ive been doing some of these since years. thats prolly because we subconsciously figure out what looks good on us and what doesn't.
This isn’t related to clothes, but has anyone ever requested for a plant video from you? I just always appreciate all the plants in your video and would love to hear you talk about them!
I wish if i could have your closet it's just perfect and also because my heights is also 5'1 and i am also pear shape 😀😁
Me toooo!! 😍
Thrift or tailor your existing items to follow her tips ~
I'm 5'1 too but inverted triangle shape 😐 I know... the worst shape... ugh
Anshika jharwal that’s me same height and body shape lol 😂
Same I'm 5'2 and also pear shaped. But I'm having a hard time finding the perfect pants for me because I have small waist 24-25 but big hips and thighs.
I'm 5'3 but I think the longest part of my body is my torso, this was super helpful. Thank you!
Same here!
You're very good at explaining the reasoning behind all of these rules! It's a lot more helpful than just telling us dressing rules without explaining why
I love how you explain properly the logical reason why these tips would work. Thanks!
Thank you in lots for helping us petites to look not only taller but fabulous at the same time ❤️❤️
Aw thanks girl! ❤️
I love the way you present your information, a simple and genuine style.
I love that you included tips for people that are on the thinner side & would like to have certain aspects of their body look wider. This video had great tips!
Would love to have a video on what filming equipment you use (Kamera/Microphone/Editing ). Your aesthetics and sound is everything ! 🙌🏻
I love that your video go straight to the point and it’s simple and easy to understand with examples. Thank you so much!!!!
I feel so happy after getting a notification from you. I know I will listen to a very polite person who is giving amazing tips and advice. Thank you.
perfect video: clear examples, complete descriptions, but not redundant explanations. Thank you
This is my fashion bible for 2020 and conquering my 30’s in style.
thank you is an understatement for the fact every single outfit was timetstamped and listed for us 🥺😁💜💜💜💫
I love it how you don't beat around the bush explaining details 💖
Been loving your posts for so long! I'm a 5 foot 1 myself with the same built as yours and when I thought I already know how to work my outfits, I still keep learning more. Thanks so much for your contents ❤
I would love to see a video about how to add trendy/statement/seasonal pieces without spending a ton or drastically changing your style. I recently went thrifting with fall on my mind and I wanted things that were new and exciting, so not what I normally got, but I also wanted to find items that fit it with the rest of my already-existing wardrobe. Would love your tips! Especially with fall just around the corner!
Simple , straight to the point 😁
OMG you have EXACTLY the same body type as me and youre absolutely gorgeus which is giving me a lot of confidence right now
I'm 5'2, also pear-shaped and I find your videos immensely inspiring! Although I may have heard about those tips at some point of my life, you constantly remind me to perfect my style (in a stylish way) and apply those rules into my daily closet. Thanks
I’m 5’2” and I’ve only found your channel yesterday, I’m lovin every tip!! You are a life-saver! Imma just discard every clothing that doesn’t flatter me..and oh, I also have experimented a lot with my clothes and now hearing someone say some of my experiments are valid is definitely a changer!! Love it!! ❤️❤️
Her voice her voice her voiceeeeee. It's so soothing 😭❤😫
I love how you added more plants to your house loving it ❤️
I just found your video randomly and I'm really thankful that I did. Your videos really gives a lot of insights. Finally, a channel that actually feels the struggle of petite girls. Thank you so much.
Thank you, from this 5' 2" gal. I've used many of these tips at times. Yet, occasionally, break a rule when the goal is not single focused. For example: when in a group and I would like to not be noticed, I prefer darker colors or neutral shades. Yet, I might prefer lighter brighter colors at the beach unless I'm going for a more inwardly focused outing to just read or take a quiet walk and not looking to "be seen" by onlookers. I might wear prints when I am hoping to draw a bit of attention, at a dance, a outside concert or summer festival for example. It isn't necessarily about looking the thinnest one can possibly make one's self appear. I think it projects confidence within one's own body to allow a few curves to give a more female shape. When I was at about my thinnest size, I looked in the mirror and realized that I didn't have any hips, no curves, and an almost hidden chest if I was wearing a loose or oversized top. I think that I looked like I had an adolescent boys figure. Dresses didn't hang the way they used to and finding fitted clothes was more difficult then in the late 1990's and early 2000's than now.
I enjoyed watching this video and I love the tips you shared! Literally life changing for me as I’m 5”0 🙌😂 I’m in the process of fine tuning my wardrobe, learning more about the ideal type of clothing for my body and investing into more ethical, quality clothing. I found this video to be really helpful! ❤️❤️❤️
I'm in love with your style it's so simple yet elegant and cute!
Seeing the skirts side by side really helped visually!! Thanks for that!
I'm 41 and I've already been doing all of this by instinct. It really is all about having a basic sense of proportion knowing what suits you. Having said this, it was still great to watch this and realize that I have indeed been doing all the right things. I'm also 5.1 btw :) Awesome video!
I seriously cannot stress enough how much I LOVE these tips! I'm 156cm and also pear-shaped on the curvier side and these tips are gold! ❤ The only thing a would disagree with is tip nr. 12, since I find tighter skirts look more flattering to the pear-shaped body. Having flares add width to the hip and I always end up looking like a child with a princess dress/skirt which reaaaallly messes up the whole illusion. Otherwise, everything you say is so on point and it has helped me so much. Now I need to find nude shoe's that I like 😍
I immediately subscribed when I came through this video! I've always wondered why certain trends clothes doesn't do well on my body shape, turns out I just have a shorter length legs! Every point you put out literally me discovering try & error on fashion! EVERY EACH ONE! So thankful to came across your channel, can't wait to see more of your videos in the future! Gonna appreciate what I have and embrace it! Much love! ❤️
Love your voice and thank you for taking the time to post these videos! So many of us are short-legged, waisted, etc. and need a little help in looking taller.
Loved this video! You're voice is somehow so calming :)
Thanks Missy!
You look so elegant,sound so elegant. Elegancy is screaming after you
Thank you Bethany. I've never seen such a comprehensive list of advice for my specific body type. I really appreciate this video. Thank you so much for making it!
I love all your videos! They are easy to follow and straightforward. 💖
I'm 5'2 I wish I could wear all of those outfits here in Pakistan comfortably
I understand you girl 😞
U can wear solid color or minimalist design shelwar khamis, actually ur national dress is make everyone look taller sis
@@atlasdiem5516 that's not what she meant..... It's just that the women can't wear anything fashionable in Pakistan so she is sad
That's sad believe me
@@alldayfun2614 ik
I have to admit that she looks gorgeous in all the dresses 😍
Yesss thank you for this video!! And for including the outfit links💗💗💗
I love that you go right to the point. Good work!
Ok, so I just found your channel, and it quickly has become my favorite channel. Your editing is stunning. I love your content, your voice is so soothing, and your style is perfection. I'm barely 5'2" and I relate to you so much! This is an amazing community! I hope you have a blessed week because I sure am binge watching your vids!
Thanks so much, Olivia! ❤️🤗
Excellent video Bethany, thank you so much for all those tips! You've really helped me with changing my wardrobe for the better and as a fellow petite 5' I am forever grateful for your content
The house looks gorgeous, love the wood in natural color.
This is literally so cute, she just looks so good!!!!🥂
2:33 OML THAT WHOLE OUTFIT IS GORGEOUS
I’m so interested by your fashionable tips.
This was actually so good and informative !
Best tips EVER! That little red cardigan with high waisted jeans looks so gorgeous on you. Literally makes you look slimmer and tall. I never thought light denim could look good. I have the exact same problem with my figure, but so over wearing black. I def need a cute cropped cardi.Thank you so much for this, I'm 50 and THOUGHT I knew quite a lot, but u taught me several great tricks/tips!❤ you're lucky you have a tiny waist.
You and I have almost the exact same body shape but I’m shorter by a couple inches. Thank you very much for this ultimate list! Obviously we should wear stuff that we like and are comfortable with first and foremost, but I think videos like these are helpful for people who are looking for a certain effect. Btw, your legs look amazing 💕
Bethany this was great! I’m 62 and getting great tips here. I wish I had known this at 26. :). At 5’3” I’m super excited about the return of high waisted pants!
Ur voice is so calming mam,The way uh speak about every clothing in such a calming way Everyone would listen to uh. Also the tips are amazing .Would definitely try it! Thank you!!💜😊
This channel is life changing. I really like your style.
Where was this channel my whole life? Even your body proportions are so similar to mine. You are gorgeous! This channel rocks!
Watches around 7-8 videos on how to dress. And this one actually summarised all those. Would've found it earlier ❤️
Bravo, Bethany. You win the Internet with this one 🏆
Thank you soo much for all these useful tips ❤ i'm 5'2 and i'll definetely try everything you said 😊
I was chuckling to myself, as I send this to my short friend.
For some reason this video was in my feed and I must say I really like your houseplants. That rubber plant is beautiful.
Love your videos! Have learned so many petite tips from you and it's really helped me decide what pieces I buy to make sure I have a lasting wardrobe. Thank you 😊💕
I’m also 5’1 and ankle strapped shoes are my worst enemy. They literally do nothing but make us look shorter😭
hehe you are right... ankle straps are not our friends.
Damn! I just buy it last week.. I'm also 155 cm
Great tips! High waisted pants are a go to.
This is the most helpful video I’ve seen on this topic!!
This video was so calming

I’m 4’11 and I am trying to redo my closet these are such amazing tips thank you ❤️🔥
Best tips ever on this subject and love your style. Thank you!
This is a great video and I love the pace of it!
I've subscribed! I love your video, so informative and helpful for a short girl like me, I'm 22 and 4ft 11 but very petite so these tips are helpful 🥺 I've always tucked in my shirts wearing jeans or skirts and sometimes my family laugh at me saying I look so formal but really it's just because it looks more flattering to my body that way
This is very much helpful especially for me who's not that tall.
Finally found a video that answers my style questions! Thankyou so much!
i really need every single one of your outfits!!!!
im also 5’1 and have a pear shaped body and these tips helped me out so much!! ty girl

Thank you for giving us more useful ideas.I Love the music you used at the end of your video!
This video is super duper helpful, packed with all the info I need for what to wear and what not to. Thank you so much! You're awesome!
Great tips- I am 5'0 and pear shaped so this is relatable to me! Although, I pretty much wear what I feel like I look good in and am comfortable in
I’m 4’11” and NEEDED these tips! Thank you so much, Bethany! 💕
Much love, Aysha! 💕
I have no idea what changed in the algorithm but I’ve never seen you before and now I’m getting suggested your videos like nothing else and I have to say WOW THANK YOU AS A PETITE WOMAN! There are very few petite stylists that aren’t too casual or too chic 24/7 imo. p.s. your home/wherever you’re filming is *chefs kiss*
Just about time 😊 Perfect timing
anyone asking her to do more plus size styles plz remember that she is thinner and more petite so that’s what her channel is geared towards
You are so beautiful and the outfits you choose are Bomb, I can see myself in them! I am very confused with fashion and never know what fits my body type, thank you!
very valuable tips. One of the best style vlogs I have seen.
This was so helpful, thank you! You are so gorgeous, and it's awesome to see someone short with a real body rocking it! I am a half inch shy of 5 feet even and need all the help I can get.
I’m 5’0, my “tall” outfit is cropped jacket with shoulders emphasised, tucked in shirt, black cuffed high waisted jeans, and black boots
I love the style of your outfit! Thanks for sharing 😄
I m also a petite with pear shaped body type. Tired of hiding my fat legs with black colour all my life . So glad that I finally discover your KZhead’s videos.
Thank you for sharing your ideas😍
love the outfits✨✨
I’m hourglass shaped and these are amazing tips for my bottom half! thank you! :)
