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.

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.
