Short Story is a personal styling service for petite women 5'4" or under. We help you find clothes that actually fit, so you can dress with total confidence. Get started by taking our Style Quiz. Our team of petite style experts will use your responses to curate outfits suited to your preferences. We deliver these curations to your door on your schedule, as often as you'd like. You can try everything on in the comfort of your own home and purchase your favorites.

Petite is about height, not size. Petite clothing is specifically designed to fit women 5’4” or under. Petite women come in all shapes, sizes, and proportions. We believe that no matter what height, shape, or size you are, you deserve the perfect fit. We’re here to help you find the best options for your proportions. Read our Petite Style Guide to learn more.

We currently carry sizes 00P-20P. We’re constantly working on expanding our size range.

Each box contains 5-6 pieces curated just for you. You can tell us what you're looking for, or let your stylist curate outfits suited to your lifestyle. We have petite tops, pants, jeans, jackets, dresses, jumpsuits, and accessories in a variety of styles and price points.

We work with both established and up-and-coming brands. Some brands we work with are: Joe's Jeans, Vince Camuto, Vero Moda, Amour Vert, Good American, Liverpool, and more. Part of the fun is helping you find new brands you'll love. We like to keep your wardrobe feeling fresh.

Yes! We carry our own exclusive Short Story clothing lines, created using feedback from you, our Short Story community. This is your style journey, so you should be a part of it!

There’s a $25 styling fee for every box that goes to the work of your personal stylist (yes, you get a real human stylist 👩). After you receive your box, you only pay for pieces you decide to keep, and your styling fee gets credited towards anything you keep from that box. The styling fee can only be applied to purchases from your current order. It cannot be rolled over to your next curation and is non-refundable.

We carry a variety of options so we can personalize your picks to your budget. Our clothing items range from $35-$150+ per piece. When you fill out your style quiz, you can tell us your budget and your stylist will send you items based on that range.

When you sign up, you’ll automatically be on a monthly subscription plan, but you can change your subscription frequency at any time by updating your profile settings. You can schedule a box to come every few weeks, every few months, or whenever you like.

The Short Story experience is one that is truly made for petites. Our team of petite stylists handpick items just for you. We save you a trip to the store by shipping items directly to you. Our stylists also save you the time and trouble of selecting clothing and accessories. Just tell us how often you'd like to get a box, and then sit back and relax. :)
