If you’re a short girl, like me, you probably face a lot of challenges in your daily life. It’s a struggle to reach things, and people think you’re a child. You can’t hold a conversation without someone bringing up your height, as if you weren’t aware of how short you are. But, for us ladies, one of the hardest problems is that of clothes. If anyone has gone shopping with a short woman, you might have seen some of these struggles. Below are 22 fashion struggles for short girls that only we short gals will understand!
They always bunch up at your ankles, or roll over onto your feet. And when it’s rainy, your hems are always a little bit damp, if you miss one of those puddles you have to leap over anyway.
At the other end of your body is the same problems. When you wear long sleeve tops, the sleeves cover your fingers so that you look like you don’t have any hands, or you have to roll them up and they get to somewhere between three quarter sleeves and awkward.
Let’s face it, if they were made to be full length on normal people, of course they would make a lovely floor sweeping train on us.
If they’re too long as maxi skirts, they can just be worn as maxi dresses. No one ever needs to know the truth.
They just fall too long. You’re doomed to wear a tunic forever.
Those adult small t-shirts you get at events? Another name for ugly dresses. Shame on them for discriminating against short people. They have x-large and xx-large, but no x-small!
I didn’t realize they made humans that tall.
Hey, even the celebs do it. Rachel Bilson isn’t ashamed of it, either.
There goes another fashion trend you can’t wear.
Then again, we live in a world where 8 year olds are taller than their mothers.
Maybe you’re buying something for your little sibling. You have to find some way to face
the humiliation.
They are your size. What can you do?
You might be short, but that doesn’t mean you’ve got a child’s body. What about your boobs and butt?
Contrary to what people think, you are not a prepubescent boy. You’ve got to make a statement, and adding inches is all that works.
That’s one heel ruled out. If you wanted reverse capris, you wouldn’t have bought the boots.
Why do companies put smaller sizes on top? Don’t they want you to buy their stuff?
Sometimes bold people need a bold pattern on their clothing. Oh wait, you’re short, you can’t have that either.
Sometimes it’s just so much easier than looking for things that actually fit.
In case you haven’t figured it out by now, nothing fits.
Thank god stores haven’t gone extinct. You actually need to try clothes on before you buy. Surprisingly enough, you don’t fit into standard sizing.
Low rise jeans are normal, normal jeans are high waisted, high waisted jeans reach your
boobs.
This isn’t always too bad. Thigh high socks look cute too.
