Short: my suffering when choosing clothes

click fraud protection

My name is Katya, my height is 158 cm, and I constantly face problems when choosing a wardrobe. Before the period of self-isolation, I often went to the shopping center to make a selection of interesting clothes for you, and I could not show dozens of cool things on myself. Because I was drowning in them. Not only am I short, but I'm also very thin, this combo turns the search for clothes into a real quest "Find me if you can. And if you can, I will still look on you as if you took it off your high school brother and you are 7. "

I would be happy if stores added the "Petite" line, but for now I will master Asos, who is with me? I'm one of those Old Believers who prefer buy things offline, I need to touch, measure, turn around in front of the mirror. Plus, a small part of things fits well on my not the most standard figure, this complicates online shopping. Some sew such an XS that a girl with a size M can flatter herself and easily climb into it, especially if the thing is oversized.

I will list the most infinite problems for you, do not hesitate and continue my list in the comments. At least to take away the soul and relieve stress, it's already not bad.

Oversized looks ridiculous

Over the past decade, oversize has been feeling pretty good that way, I will say that you cannot say about me when trying it on. The most salt is that I love this cut, but in my case it's not just over, but real game over. A jacket from a man's shoulder, which was so popular a couple of years ago (but is still relevant now, if something happens), does not at all what fashion magazines promise. "A masculine jacket will play in contrast with you and accentuate fragility and femininity," yeah. Would you like this: "In such a jacket you will feel like a real gnome, it will play in contrast wide huge shoulders and short legs. " Well, really, the jacket from the father's shoulder destroys the proportions, making the torso larger, and the legs in short, if you are 158 cm.

Look at the proportions

Of course, you can wear oversize, but it should be moderate. Even the same jacket should not be 5 sizes larger, but 1-2 sizes. But such an oversize for miniatures is not possible for every brand, sometimes I fall in love with a thing on a hanger, but I understand that there is no point in even measuring it.

Leg length

An obvious problem that petite girls periodically encounter. Cropped trousers and jeans have been trendy in recent years and I can find the length that suits me. But my tall friend with endless legs complains that this fashion in her case is called "try to find cropped trousers in which you will not be like a shooter or an overgrown girl." And it happens, yes)

Short legs, eh

But often in some stores I drown in the length of trousers and jeans, and their model does not always allow you to cut off excess. Merila has recently been cool joggers, these are trousers with a drawstring at the ankle. And so that they were just for me, I must cut it off so that not a trace will remain of this gum. Such a trick happens with flared models, with a cargo with an elastic band at the bottom, there is no need to cut off extra centimeters of fabric and sew on the missing centimeters to the legs. And it's not about short legs, as you know, legs can be long relative to the body.

The waist may be on the hips

With dresses, too, there are difficulties, a beautiful dress hangs on a hanger, you think how great the waist will look in it. And in fact it hangs almost in the hips, the proportions are violated, cutting off the excess at the bottom is useless. And sometimes in some things a cut to the navel, and it turns from spicy to ugly.

I like the assortment of the Lime store, my color scheme is straight there calm, noble, many successful styles. But in fact I can afford a little there, their size chart for girls of taller stature. I am completely satisfied with mine in all aspects until the moment until I get to the mall.
