- Do you think that this outfit makes me look short?
- No I make you look short.
(upbeat music)
- I do feel self conscious about my height.
Just because everyone else around me is giant.
I constantly feel like I'm drowning in clothes.
Which makes me hate going shopping.
- Growing up my mom had a lot of ideas
of what looked good on my body because it was smaller.
- I do sometimes see like
certain pieces of clothes might overwhelm me
because of my short stature.
- These are the most common things that petite people
are not supposed to wear.
Tunics, or shirt dresses.
- Oversized styles slash layers.
- Maxi dresses, maxi skirts.
- Midi skirts, calf length.
Oh, that just sounds like a bad length.
- Ankle strap heels, I am wearing an ankle strap right now
so I guess I am already breaking a rule.
- I feel like I'm not allowed to wear anything.
- My goal this week is to just give zero fucks.
(groovy music)
- I feel very awkward and restricted cause my knees
can't go very far.
- I just think the skirt does make you look shorter.
- Yeah?
- Yeah cause it's longer.
But it looks nice though.
- I do actually feel very short in this.
Just because I'm just not used to wearing skirts
and the length of this skirt is very awkward.
- I do like that it's like a tight skirt though
because I feel like if it was like a flowy mid-calf skirt,
then it would look really bad.
(groovy music)
- I know that it looks cool and you know people are into it
I just feel a little self conscious for me.
(yelling)
- I think she looks stylish.
- Me too, you're hot.
I like the purple tank, I was like hey.
Hottie.
- Apparently
baggie pants are supposed to make you look shorter
but I wear these all the time.
I don't feel short.
I think I got more compliments on my shirt than on my pants
so they're not really looking at how tall I am
they're just looking at what I'm wearing.
(groovy music)
- If I'm breaking the rules you know like
if this is what it feels like to be bad
I don't wanna be good, this is so comfy.
- This is definitely the outfit I'm most uncomfortable in.
- Which I don't get because I think you look amazing.
- Do you think it makes me look short?
- None of these outfits have made you look short.
Seriously.
- Really - Yeah, you look amazing.
(groovy music)
- So this is one outfit I definitely feel
most comfortable in.
I don't care if it makes me look short.
The benefits outweigh negatives.
Going up stairs is a little bit harder
because I have to like kind of pick up all this fabric
unnecessary fabric
to make sure I don't kill myself.
- The minute I saw you I was like,
"Wow Stacy never wears dresses, but I love it."
And so when you told me this was against the rules
for short people I was like, "Who made up these
antiquated rules?"
- So I have another short person hack.
If your dress is too long
just tie a knot at the bottom.
That is an easy way to shorten your clothes
without having to go get them hymned.
(Happy Music)
- I decided to throw on this long baggy trench coat jacket.
I remember when I went to buy this
the lady at the store in other words kind of told me
it would look better on someone who was taller
and I was like, "Fuck that, I'm gonna buy it."
- I think it's really flattering.
You look cuter than I do today.
- This dress is making me feel really small.
- This is cute. - Yeah?
- I don't see a problem with this.
- I don't look like shorter than I usually look?
- Nah, I think you always look short.
- I don't mind that I'm a short person.
And I don't think that fashion rules can hold me back
quite honestly, I don't really,
I don't really believe in those.
- It's no secret that society
puts these unrealistic standards on us
and the way that we should look.
And I think the first step is being nicer to yourself.
I think we all just need to take a cue from Backstreet Boys,
and say, "Everybody yeah, rock your body."
Yeah.
