The clothes that come in my box almost always fit me so much better than things I find in regular stores, especially pants! I always find at least one item in my box that I love that I can't wait to wear!

I updated this review on 8/4. Customer service has been very helpful since. Though I'm disappointed in the pants quality the clothes overall were pretty good choices for a first box and I'll probably try the service again. I kept one outfit from the box which was OK initially but the linen pants tore after only 1 wear. Keep in mind they were loose fitting and didn't snag on anything. I just randomly had a hole in the inner thigh area after 1 wear in my $70-$80 linen pants. A couple of weeks later they charged me for a shirt I did NOT keep. Very disappointed.

Hi Stefanie, Thank you so much for reaching out and sharing your feedback with us. We are so sorry to hear that you were charged for an extra item. It looks like the shirt you were charged for was refunded on July 27th, refunds can take 5-10 business days to post to your bank. We are so sorry to hear that your pants tore after one wear, this does not reflect the quality we strive to provide our clients! We would love to help offer a resolution for this inconvenience. Please keep an eye out for a message from us regarding your pants! Warmly, The Short Story Team

I love that the clothing is made to fit my frame. No more cuffing sleeves or dealing with pants that are way too long! I can't wait to get my next box to see what my stylist selected for me. I bought my 1st box, then a 2nd box a week later, then a 3rd box a week later. I've kept items from every box and returns are really simple and easy!

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 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 have been pleased with Short Story. They have been easy to work with, including when I needed to lengthen my try-on time due to illness. The only reason I'm giving 4 and not a 5 is their limited plus size options. I'm shaped like a friendly basketball so more options for the rounder among us would be helpful.
