I love that the clothes are tailored to fit smaller women. Specifically, the pants are always the perfect length. The customer service is top notch.

I love Short Story! I am 5'2 and the items have fit perfectly. The stylist includes items I have requested as well as a few other items I would not normally choose for myself as I am not very adventurous. Anna was quick to respond to my questions and very helpful. The return process is super easy and convenient as well. I have recommended their services to all my friends, family and complete strangers that have complimented my outfits. I am always so excited to get my box!

Hi Shannon, Thank you so much for the incredible support! It's amazing to hear that your pieces fit perfectly this is music to our ears! Our stylists have so much fun curating collections for you, especially the pieces that you wouldn't pick for yourself. Thank you for spreading the word to other petite gals :) We can't wait for our next chapter with you!

I’ve had two boxes sent and I believe that value is there. I’ve bought an item out of each box and what’s nice is they take the $25 styling fee off whatever you purchase. Some items are total “no’s” for me, but their check out form is detailed and I’m sure if I kept getting boxes more and more pieces would match my liking. I got an amazing out of jeans that fit me perfectly and were super comfortable - this is sooo rare being petite. Customer service is great! I accidentally forgot to put one item in the return package and they sent me another shipping label right away. There was a mishap with items being charged for, but again, their costumer service stayed consistent and eventually refunded me. I’ll definitely be ordering more boxes in the future. This service is worth a try, especially given the troubles we shorties constantly face while shopping.

I’m 52 years old and 4’11. Just got my second box and everything was a keeper. No more paying for clothes plus having to pay for it to be tailored. I’ve tried the competition and short story’s quality is much better.

I get a variety of items to try on. Many times it's something I wouldn't have chosen myself. Most everything fits me too. I'm not waisting time at a department store attempting to find things that fit. The best part, I don't see someone else wearing the same things as me. I'm over 60 and I'm dressing so I feel good and look youthful.

My stylist is absolutely magical. The box I just received was the best one I’ve received from Short Story. I love your clothes. Prices are reasonable, the fit is unbelievable, and I love the vibes they have! No more malls for me!!❤️
