What We Do
Short Story is the premiere personal styling service for petite women. We provide a unique shopping experience for any woman who is 5’4” or under looking for the perfect fit. Over half of women in the US are petite, yet petite women are extremely underrepresented in fashion & media and ignored by the apparel industry. Millions of petite women struggle with ill fitting clothes and frumpy styles--we think this is a ridiculous problem to have in 2021.
Short Story was founded on the belief that petite women deserve a brand new shopping experience. We're a small but mighty team passionate about finding the best fit, quality, and styles for our clients. We deliver truly personalized styling experiences to the door. We're committed to building a strong community where petite women can feel heard, support each other, and be empowered in their everyday lives.
