It’s been so great to get clothes that fit well delivered right to my door! I’ve gotten several great pairs of jeans that fit like a glove and several tops that I love. Everything is high quality and the customer service is great.

It’s hard out there for a short girl to find clothes that don’t need to be altered. So when I found this service I was thrilled to try it. A year later and I am still a fan. They do a great job of nailing your style and finding options that fit perfectly. Their customer service is also top notch. If you opt to chat with them, you will get to talk to a real human instead of a chat bot which is unheard of these days. If you have issues with pants that are too long or shirts that hang well below your waistline, I recommend giving this a try!

Short Story has truly elevated my fashion game over the past year! I’ve been with them for almost twelve months now, and I’m currently on my 9th box - with every single delivery, my style feels more refined and more “me.” The pieces are thoughtfully chosen, flattering, and always introduce me to looks I wouldn’t have picked for myself but end up loving. They are literally the BEST for anyone like me who gets overwhelmed by shopping and ends up hoarding all the wrong kind of stuff (guilty 🙋🏻‍♀️). Short Story makes the whole process stress-free and actually fun for sure! A very special shout-out to Julie and the team, who have been curating my boxes so beautifully for the past year - you’ve made getting dressed feel exciting and effortless. I plan to continue with Short Story for many more boxes to come!

I missed a box due to shipping damage and short story went overboard to fix the error. I like most everything they send me

It's been a while since I've used Short Story. I loved the boxes I received then which was about 2 years ago. I loved everything I received in the most recent box too. My body has changed, so the sizing was off. Most of the items were too big, which is good! So figuring out what size works best for me may take a little bit of time. I'm all about working through that process. I did keep one blouse that I fell in love with and exchanged a pair of jeans. The quality of clothing has never disappointed. I've used Stitch Fix and Daily Look and quality was not comparable, plus they did not have petite sizing. I definitely recommend Short Story!

I signed up for Short Story believing it would be a fun and supportive service for petites, but instead I’ve been dealing with repeated unauthorized charges. Despite locking my checking account, Short Story has continued attempting to charge me for items I did not keep. When I’ve asked for clarification, they have been unable to even tell me what the charges are for. This isn’t just an occasional mistake — it’s become a pattern. Short Story has refunded charges after the fact, but that doesn’t erase the disruption to my finances or the late fees I’ve incurred from other companies because my account was held up. The lack of transparency and accountability is unacceptable. At this point, I see this as systemic negligence. If they cannot manage accurate billing or clear communication with one customer, I have to wonder how many others are being wrongly charged under the guise of “unreturned items.” Until Short Story addresses its operational issues and can guarantee accurate, transparent billing, I cannot recommend this company.

I signed up with short story and at first I loved it! I don’t know if they changed the stylists or what but the last box was terrible, nothing worked, nothing fit right. All was returned via USPS, unfortunately they still charged me $489. They never scanned my return in properly! That was June 12. It is now July 14, they have my money and my return! They still have not processed my return after a month! THEY WILL STEAL YOUR MONEY!!! Deeply disappointed!! For The Record, I received an extension to return the items late due to my father passing away. My credit card company has told me that it is Short Story who is holding up my refund.

I've only used this company twice, but much like other styling companies I've used, stitch fix, daily look, and there were a couple of others, they do not pay attention to what my style is and what I like and do not like. I've given them links to styles I like on Pinterest, I've sent them screenshots of outfits, and I feel as though they are not paying attention. The first box I received had a couple of pants that I kept, but I explained that I did not like pants, or bottoms with fake pockets. Got some bottoms with fake pockets is my second box. They also sent me some tops with puffy sleeves. I advised I did not like puffy sleeves, guess what I got in my second box, you got it puffy sleeves. I also had a store credit for a pair of the original pants I kept because the zipper broke the first and only time I wore them. For whatever reason my store credit was not being applied to the things I was keeping from this second box. Edit: They have used my store credit on my latest purchases.
